This is day 3 of the metagenics diet. No carb no sugar diet. It has been hard do far but I know it will be worth it in a couple weeks. I am planning means ahead to prevent snacking while thinking about what I want to eat. I need some meal suggestions!! Any ideas would be helpful.

Bacon and egg for breakfast.
No carb means no vegetables, so I don't have any other meal suggestions. A few carbs in green beans and broccoli served alongside a steak or 1/4 lb burger.0 -
Hey,
we can buddy up. I am also following low carb meals will come later. Stay strong!0 -

No carb? What do you eat? Just meat? Are you opposed to low carb? I don't know all the carb counts of vegetables, but I can't imagaine you're getting many if you are completely avoiding carbs.0

Does that eliminate both veggies and fruit?0

A low carb diet isn't a "weird" way of eating and it absolutely works and is sustainable. I've been doing a ketogenic diet for months and intend to continue this as my normal way of life. Carbs and sugar aren't necessary or needed. I'm more energized and healthy now than I ever was when eating a "balanced" diet.0

Meat + fat......doesn't sound sustainable to me0 -
Also there is not really a "no" carb diet because almost everything contains trace amounts of carbs. Even eggs have carbs. Under 30g net carbs daily is enough for a steady state of ketosis. Which mean plenty of vegetables and fiber.0

Hey pal, I have no idea what the program you're on is, but for no carbs you can't go wrong with boiled eggs and turkey bacon.0

Why would you want to do something that you can't continue long term?0

I don't see this ending well. Maybe others will not notice this post. I have seen a couple others slip by this morning.
I agree with many of the posters. Long term it is not sustainable. As another poster said, if you ask any of the long term, successful people using MFP they will tell you restrictive diets have a lot lower success rate than just learning to eat what you want in moderation and stay in a caloric deficit.
Even after saying that, best of luck to you. I hope it works for you and you find the recipes you need to succeed.0 -

No carbs = 8 lbs of water weight lost in the first week.
Go back to eating carbs = 8 lbs gained in the first week.
Sounds like a good way to waste your time and energy.0 -

While I don't adhere to a low carb/no carb lifestyle, I do watch my macros.
Recently we had pizza for supper and I really didn't want crust.
So... I sauteed a cup of fresh mushrooms with a tiny bit of olive oil. Then I added a little sauce, some cheese, and a few pepperoni.
Very good, but different!0 -
Saute chopped brussel sprouts, sliced mushrooms, pinenuts in butter, season with salt and pepper (I used coconut oil last night, still tasty).
Take swordfish (or any fish steak), pan roast in butter or oil, each side 5 minutes. Place fish aside on plate. On high heat, saute cherry tomatoes and sliced garlic in butter or oil for 5 min. Add spoonful of capers and lemon segments (no rind), saute 2-3 more min. Add chopped italian parsley, season with pepper, take off heat after 1 more min.
Pour over fish and enjoy with glass of red wine:)0 -
I've worked my way down to low carb slowly. The first step is upping protein intake so that you don't feel ravenously empty all day. I don't know how metagenics works, but a lot of low carb diets include plenty of veggies they consider "free" so it's not JUST meats and fats. I eat lots of things like eggs scrambled with veggies, organic deli meat/tomato/avocado rolled up in lettuce, hamburgers topped with tomato and onion (no bun of course), meatloaf with several low carb veggie sides. A breakfast fave is cooking a couple eggs omelet style then rolling them up with some deli meat inside to eat like a wrap. And loads of bento meals! I have cute silicone cupcake liners that I fill with things like paleo tuna/egg salad, chopped veggies, nuts, a little paleo dip or guacamole, etc. I still haven't given up fruit or chocolate entirely, but I'm off all starchy veggies and grains and feel so much better! Good luck.0

Is it really zero carb and zero sugar? Fruits and veggies are out, as well as most dairy and grains. So you are going to eat meat only?0
