Low carbs-high protein diet recipes

Hi dalys - personally I got really fed up of eggs and bacon very quickly (and normally I LOVE eggs and bacon). There are loads of blogs on the net with recipes on them that are worth a try. A lot depends on how many carbs you want to take in. I'm shooting for between 30-50 carbs a day and trying to get most of them from veg (and the odd berry!). My favourite recipe is to scoop out an avocado, then mix the fruit with a couple of chopped up cherry tomatoes and a chopped up bacon rasher then pile it all back in the avocado, then pour in a little double cream and top with parmesan. Then I grill it up for five minutes. It's gorgeous. I think the recipe was from India and Nerys's diet cookbook - I've liked all the recipes I've got from there but again the carb counts vary. Tonight I'm having cauliflower rice with pork and red pepper kebabs. There is a world of low carb recipes out there - enjoy finding the ones that you like!

Stick with green veggies no fruit and lots of fish, chicken, and lean beef. No corn, no flour products. Upside is you can have enough fats to compensate for your low carbs. You have to have enough fats so you don't lose lean muscle. Which helps burn calories.

I make a fritatta....sautee onion, tomato, spinach, mushrooms, whatever veg you like, in an oven safe skillet. pour over 6 scrambled eggs, and add cheese that you like. Bake in oven until set. This is good hot or cold

For dinners I cycle between skin on chicken, fish, pork chops, shellfish and the like. I keep the proteins mixed up to keep things interesting, also makes shopping easier. A protein and at least a couple servings of lower carb veggies makes for a filling and nutritious dinner.

Lunches are often bone broth with veggies and last night's protein, or maybe a tin of sardines or a tuna salad lettuce wrap. An ounce of macadamia nuts or a couple Brazil nuts make a great snack.

Breakfasts are usually an egg scramble with whatever veggies that are left over in the fridge and often a couple slices of bacon.

Make sure you are getting plenty of good healthy fats. Coconut, avocado, and olive oils are good choices. Butter or ghee are also good if you consume milk products.

Some raw sauerkraut as a snack or with a meal will really help with digestion and health. As will plain, whole milk, kifer or yogurt. Watch the carbs with the milk products though, they can add up quickly so you may want to lay off those while you are trying to stay below 50gr/day.

I lost 90 lbs and really improved my health doing what you are planning. I've been maintaining +/- a pound or two for over 3 months now. I still log everything so you can check out my diary if you want.

You can do this

I'm obsessed with protein 'cheesecake' pudding at the moment. It's just a scoop of your favorite flavor protein powder (i love Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey in Caramel Frappe, Caramel Fudge, Rocky Road or Vanilla Icecream - but they do 19 flavors to choose from), popped in a mini-blender with 150g cottage cheese and stevia/sweetener to taste. Et voila! 230cals 9g carbs 3g fat 39g protein! I eat this for breakfast or dessert when my protein macros are likely to be under.
