I've been trying not to eat carbs like bread, rice, pasta etc and my mum made pasta for dinner tonight... I told her that I was going to make my own dinner but I have no idea what to make? I really want to lose weight so I want to make a healthy but filling dinner. I also just did an hour of running... What should I do? helppp

my suggestion, from a low carber, since you didn't plan ahead: 1. eat a moderate portion of the pasta your mom prepared. 2. thank her for the badass meal.

Good advice. You can not do low carb without planning ahead.0

chicken breast or any other meat/fish
if it can be low carb, not no carb, you can add broccoli or other veggies0 -

oi you're really funny hey, nah kidding that was a good one.0 -
I've recently stopped pasta, rice and potatoes and not found it difficult or missed them either.
We usually have a meat... anything from chicken, fresh fish, beef, pork.... with any two vegetables such as carrots, mashed swede, broccoli, cabbage, green beans, grilled courgette etc.
But yes, planning helps. :laugh:0 -
You could have a salad with the kinds of greens you like, add an egg and some light cheese (I get a lactose free cheese that is very low in carbs).
I usually try to have a low carb breakfast and lunch, as they are the two meals I can "control" and leave my dinner free as my better half usually likes going out.
You can add me as a friend by the way0 -

It depends on how much you like cooking?
You can keep it simple with a meat/fish and 2 veg approach or you can try out recipes that replicate your favourite carby meals. I made a sort of lasagne last night, which i'll eat again for lunch today. Tonight we're having chicken stuffed with cream cheese and spicach in a parmesan crust served with some veg.
It takes a while to get the hang of low carb cooking but I promise it gets easier.0 -

Since you want to do the no carb thing, just do a protein and veggies. Every once in a while we won't hav a carb for dinner either but usually it is supplemented by more veggies. Personally, I feel since you are running you will need the carbs but whatever works for you.0

And I will keep whoring my favorite, taco salad.0

eat carbs. even low carbers don't exclude all carbs from their diet.0

Lol asks for no carb dinners, person after person is recommending veggies. Strong reading comprehension0

I replace pasta with spaghetti squash and rice with cauliflower rice. I'm trying to avoid starchy carbs for dinner, but I allow myself vegetables, and sometimes even fruit for dessert.0

There's carbs in fruit and veg - it really is difficult to get away from them totally!
But fairly easy to find a low-carb alternative.

If you're running, you probably need a few carbs, just not enriched white flour or other carbs that turn to fat. Try Quinoa. It's healthy carbs, with vitamins and fiber.0
