carbs under 100g

chefkev

i am usually under 50g per day.
I go for 60% fat, 30% protein, 10%carbs.

I eat salads, meats, nuts, veggies.

no grains, no dairy.

I eat Paleo/Primal, so that means no grains or dairy, so it's actually pretty easy too considering my carbs come from only fruits and veggies....

Same here. My carbs are typically under 40g's for the day which includes a post workout recovery drink that has 10g's.

I also am a cross between primal and keto eating, I eat very little grains, popcorn is my grain maybe once a week. Then I take a cheat day every 12-15days if I need it. My diary is open

Low carbing is very easy - I've been doing it for over 10 years. Not sure why everyone is saying no dairy. Cheese is one of the foods you can eat plenty of. Be careful of milk. I still make chai lattes but I use half water, half whole milk (since skim has slightly more carbs). If you really wanted to cut carbs, you could do half water, half heavier cream or half & half.

Advice for lunch - get a loaf of Pepperidge Farm Low Carb bread - only 5 grams of carbs per slice. Or you could use Mission Low Carb tortilla. Pile on the turkey, cheese, lettuce, and even mayo - those foods are very low in carbs.

Salads - any salad with a creamy dressing will have less carbs. So - stick with Ranch, Caesar, Blue Cheese dressings and avoid the vinaigrettes. Include cucumber, onions, small amount of tomatoes, lots of cheese, no crutons, add macadamian nuts or small amount of walnuts.

A piece of meat and veggies is probably the most satisfying meal. It's simple and delicious. For veggies, try sticking to broccoli, zuchini, artichoke, green beans, spinach and use less tomatoes, Mushrooms are good but they have some carbs. Avoid sugar snap peas.

Eggs are awesome for low carb diets. For me personally, I eat ketchup with my eggs. I had to cut back a lot because ketchup has lots of carbs.

Bad foods: sugar and starch. So, potatoes, bananas, and bread are huge NO NOs. Candy is obviously out of the question. Avoid carrots, fruits other than berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, blackberries). There is low carb ice cream out there - Breyers makes a Carb Smart which is pretty good.

Hope this helps!

this definitely looks do-able and slightly less intimidating than expected!!

I really enjoy it. Some days I wander off the path but it's super easy to just get right back to it!!!
