Ways to reduce Carbs

I seem to be doing fine with staying under my calories, under my fat and hitting my protein but I always go over on the carbs. I'm a picky eater so I don't like lots of veggies. I've been eating more fruit but I still am having a hard time with the carbs. Any ideas on what foods I should implement in my diet that are low in carbs?

I don't like veggies either. That's why I'm on a ketogenic diet. I eat less than 10 carbs a day. Most of them come from the parts of carbs per egg and the ounce of really, really good cheese and from the carbs in the heavy whipping cream that I add to my coffee.
Last week I had 0.6 of an ounce of lettuce - just to see if it tasted differently since my changed eating habits. Everything seems to taste different these days - mostly for the better. The lettuce didn't, but the Blue Cheese Dressing (1carb) did.0 -
brown rice
its delicious and its lower in carbs. plus only have one cup full as it really is enough to fill you up
hope that helps x0 -
If you change your diary settings to public we could see what you are eating and offer some suggestions.
For me, the big carb hitters are bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, so I just watch the portion sizes of those.0 -
Wholewheat Pasta is also a good one0

Retrain yourself not to be so picky, find recipes that disguise veggies or choose an eating plan that makes more sense given your personal tastes. You are unlikely to end up with a balanced/ nutritious lower carb diet without eating a pile of vegetables or going over on the other macros or both. If you cut down on grains, beans and lentils you will have to eat way more nuts and seeds to get enough minerals and fibre.0 -
I'm not a fan of vegetables either. I make huge batches of the Weight Watchers 0 point vegetable soup with lots of spices and extra vegetables. I divide it up into containers and keep them in the fridge or freezer. It's one of the only ways I'll eat veggies. And veggies do contain carbs but I need some fiber in my diet.0

This guy is mostly correct. It's all about the total calories. Intermittent Fasting (IF) is taking in all your calories in a small window (say 10AM to 6PM) and fasting the rest of the day/night. It seems to work effectively for many including the Hodgetwins of which omidiano seems to be quite a fan of.0 -
