When making supper for my husband and myself I often make a pasta meal (or rice, potato, etc.), with a side of green vegetables. When serving our plates I omit the pasta on my plate and use the sauce to cover the vegetables. I mostly use a tomato based pasta sauce and rarely use a cream sauce. The sauce has lots of heartiness with mushrooms, veggies, etc. added to it to make it more filling. I do use some parmesan, romano and asiago shredded cheese to top it as it looks more inviting and adds a bit more protein. I do eat carbs throughout the day in moderation.0

I don't do NO carb just LOW carb / carbs from veggies - wich is just fine if you're open to that! I'm assuming by no carb you mean just no potato / rice/ pasta / bread right? just think 1 cup of veggies and some meat or 2 cups of salad with a good full fat dressing and some chicken or hard boiled eggs or both on top - all sorts of salads. mashed cauliflower - omelets - 1/2 an avocado with a couple fried eggs and some bacon - there are a ton of options.
Like some other people said - the REAL KEY is to plan ahead!! make a big batch of something and then you'll have some leftovers ready for you!0 -
You're not needing to lose very much and you're a runner too. I'm thinking your body probably could use those carbs.0

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

Lol asks for no carb dinners, person after person is recommending veggies. Strong reading comprehension
HA! :laugh:0 -
If you don't have a medical condition diagnosed from a DOCTOR stating avoid carbs for health reasons, or you're prepping for a bikini competition..... low carb is pointless..0

I like this site: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/
OR
Just take whatever you mother makes you and don't have the bread or pasta and put the rest on top of a salad or just make yourself a side of veggies to have with whatever protein is being served - that way you don't have to make a whole separate meal
EDIT:
AND THIS! lol thank her for the badass mealmy 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.
my suggestion to you if you're looking into low carb for a weight loss solution: 1. start planning ahead.0 -
