    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! :)

    Low-carb, high-protein will introduce you to a lot of: egg whites, eggs, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, feta cheese, meats, fish, chicken, tuna, beans and protein powder :smile:

    I usually make some sort of egg or egg whites breakfast, with meats for lunch and salad with tuna for diner.

    Beans and Greek yogurt have little carbs but I read that you should stay below 50 grams per day. It's harder than it sounds. Believe me!

    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.

    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 found it was really important to plan ahead I.e. Making chicken for lunch the night before or getting up early enough to make eggs every morning for breakfast. One of the best things I found if you are craving something sweet and that is also filling is sugar free jello(also pre made). I tried to stay below 10 grams of carbs per day and lost 60 lbs in about 4 months. It was difficult and would not have happened if I didn't have pre made meals when I got hungry. There is virtually nothing you can just grab to eat without cooking it that has no carbs. Of course I gained back since having kids but that's why we are here lol

    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.
