Non Carb Foods

muirspud

Which daily foods, have zero carbs in? I thought quite a few of the things i ate, was carb free, but obviously isnt. So any help appreciated to foods which have zero carbs in.

caraiselite

meat, fish.
eggs have 1 gram each
lettuce, celery, spinach (basically green veg) are quite low
flax and almond meal (if you subtract fire which most do)

coliema

Cow beef and veal
Pork
Lamb
Fowl - turkey, chicken, duck, goose, cornish hen, quail, etc.
Seafood - mollusks such as clams and oysters
Seafood - shellfish such as lobster, shrimp, squid, and crab
Seafood - all other types of freshwater and saltwater fish, such as catfish, bass, salmon, tuna, trout, flounder, halibut
Game meats such as deer (venison), bison, ostrich, caribou, etc.
Eggs

Be aware that processed, packaged meats such as hot dogs, sausage, etc. can have some carbs due to added flavoring and preservatives.


In addition to meats, some condiments and seasonings also have no carbs:
Various oils such as olive oil, avocado oil, grapeseed oil, soybean oil, corn oil, peanut oil, safflower oil, sunflower oil
Salt, ground cinnamon, vinegar, many hot sauces, mixed seasonings such as Mrs. Dash
Yellow mustard
Whole olives
Animal fats including lard and fish oil
Vegetable shortening
Butter substitutes like margarine


Other foods with no carbs:
Salt
Cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, meunster cheese, camembert cheese, American pasteurized processed cheese
Heavy whipping cream
Regular mayonnaise
Zero-carb beverages such as sodas
Butterhead lettuce
Artificial sweeteners
Dry gelatin
Gin, rum, vodka, whiskey
Water, coffee, and tea if nothing is added

Here exactly what a trainer I had told me when I had to go 0 carbs for a few weeks:

"No pasta, potatoes, rice,or bread... only lean meat and veggies!" lol That was a hard "cleansing" but damm I felt great after, not bloated anymore!

Research Dr. Atkin's Phase One list of induction foods..... you will never be rid of carbohydrates unless you just consumed fat and protein.

Carbohydrates are much healthier when consuming vegetables.

i get a lot of cabs from fresh fruit and vegetables
i am avoiding bread, white potatoes, pasta and rice as much as I can but I still get a high carb amount - am guessing natural carbs from fructose are better than the processed carbs, but i work in admin, not science, and so have no clue

some of the items listed have trivial amounts of carbs (and when you're counting them, every gram matters!)

cheese, cream, mayo, and eggs all have small amounts of carbs! i count 1 gram per to be on the safe side.
olives have 1 gram per 4 (depending on size)
cinnamon does have carbs too. so you really have to watch the nutrition info closely - especially if you're like me and use more than the recommended serving.

I totally agree- I feel so tight and lean and good when I go paleo, I can feel after I fall off the wagon- bloating.. and other nasty side effects. I don't think I'll ever go back to incorporating grains into my regaular diet. (I don't like potatoes so they are out too)

Sadly for me, I am a big fan of those! lol So it was hell for me!
Now, since on MFP, I managed to lower my intake without going crazy!

How does your body handle so much meat? I tried a high protein/low carb lifestyle for about 2 weeks and my stomach just could not handle digesting an exclusively meat/fish based diet. It made me sick.

Your diet isn't suppose to be exclusively meat, impossible. The recommended meat intake is 75g per day! It's not much! The rest is substituts and veggies... fruits...

I really would like to try Paleo, but I'd need some type of substitute for bread at least, is there one?

Most foods have carbs in them. There are only a few things that doesn't

Meat, seafood, eggs, and cheese.

The no-carbs diet is riduculous. Just watch what you eat and how much you're eating.

Sorry - Not true. If you run a check on eggs and a large majority of the cheeses through calorieking.com, they have carbohydrates.

There are even some items in the seafood category that have carbohydrates as well

lol, like I said, most food have carbs, Those were the foods allowed for the people on the no-carbs diet.

When the atkins diet (the first one) came out. These were the allowed food.

The only carb free foods are pure protein or pure fat. So, olive oil, Chicken (although that may have 1 carb), steak, etc. Any vegetables are going to have carbs.

Not really 0 carbs.

cartrat

truly truly if you wanted to have no carbs at all, just plain ol' meat will be your best bet. i mean it's not like you can drink some heavy whipping cream and call it a meal. just eating meat is possible to do--native americans and inuits have been able to live of only meat for thousands of years--BUT it gets old very quickly when you know there are other options out there. i'm on 10g a day and basically it's meat (beef, chicken, sashimi, seafood), eggs, cheese and some veggies when i can afford them. but this won't be for forever, obviously...
