Favorite lower carb recipes/meals?

akb2006

I had a baby almost a month ago and ever since I had him my carb cravings are out of control. I have PCOS and am breastfeeding which I know makes you hungier but I am plowing away 4000+ calories a day and still hungry (I've never been like this in my life) Most of those cravings are coming from carbs. I lost 10lbs after having him and gained that 10lb right back. I'm not going to limit calories too much or be super strict seeing I'm nursing but I'd like to aim to lose 1lb a week or at least not gain. I am thinking the only way I can control myself with the carbs is if I stick to a lower carb plan. I'm not going to do anything extreme but I was thinking at aiming for 100-150g or a day. Any tips or recipes would be wonderful! I need to actually feel full!

Also dont forget, you will be burning the calories through breastfeeding so make sure you get enough food in to keep yourself and your baby healthy. Plus youve said you only had a baby a month ago, make sure you are not being too hard on yourself re. the weight loss as its still only very early days!
Good luck!

I like making a skillet pizza. Just melt some mozza cheese in a non stick pan and add pepperoni and veggies to the top. As it starts to brown just slowly lift up with a spatula so it doesn't burn.
I also like eating taco salads on low carb. Pile lots of salad greens, olives, cheese and taco meat with sour cream. Yum!
