1100 cal 20carb diet need help any ideas???

Congrats on your loss, that's amazing progress. I am glad you're under medical supervision because I would have said the same as everyone else: eat a bit more. But it looks like you know what you're doing and you're getting good results.

Here is a website with some really good low-carb recipes: http://www.skinnytaste.com/2007/07/low-carb-recipes.html

Good luck!

If sauteed is a no-no throw it all in a foil packet and bake it.

Lots of great ideas already! I would just add you might want to try smoking meat and playing around with herbs as well. Smoked turkey and chicken is awesome. (Of course this probably is not an option of you live in an apartment).

Fresh herbs are cheap and easy to experiment with. Throw a handful of basil and a few cloves of garlic in a food processor with a drizzle of olive oil and you have a great mixture to throw on baked meat or use as a dipping sauce. Cilantro, onions, and lime juice prepped the same way is terrific on chicken. Don't be afraid to experiment whatever fresh herbs you can find.

He didn't say what amount of fats he ate…so I asked. People who are on strict 20 carbs are typically doing LC….which means higher fats allowed, and there is still no info given on the limit/type on fats.

and I believe I answered the question asked.."something new ..I'm burning out" no ideas were given on WHAT he wanted...

I have PCOS and have to avoid breads/rice/pasta/potatoes. I definitely recommend you 'spice up your life' -- my favorite is 'Cajun Foreplay' by Dinosaur bbq, though Curry's work well as well. Anything not too high in sodium. I use an 'Italian blend' which makes me almost not miss pizza and pasta. In particular I use it on zucchini/yellowsquash with tomatoes and create a 'bake'. I also like shirataki noodles. Are you allowed to have any types of protein powders? I know there are a lot of tasty fo-dessert things you can make with those.

Congrats on your loss so far! And good luck with the rest of your journey.

On parchment paper, put Canadian bacon down, sauce on it, mushrooms, black olives, top with moz cheese. It's my fave low carb mini pizzas.
Look on Pinterest for low carb.. there's a ton on there!!

Kale/Zucchini Turkey burgers. This is how I make my burgers. I always make 12, 4oz burgers. You can adjust this recipe with no problem. 2 lbs extra lean ground turkey or chicken. 6 slices low sodium bacon cooked and crumbled, 1 cup onion, 1 cup mushrooms, 50 grams any cheese of your choice grated , 2 gloves garlic 2 cups kale, stems removed, 1 cup zucchini. In large bowl add the ground meat, In food processor cut up kale and zucchini add garlic, onion and mushrooms chop till fine add the mixture to the meat, using the food processor again chop up the cheese until fine, add that to the meat, than add the crumbled bacon to the mixture. Using your hands mix everything together. I use a food scale to make sure I have 4 oz of mixture than I shape into a patty, place on a try with wax paper and I continue to all the patties are made, makes 12. Than I hand them over to my husband and he grills them on the BBQ they take about 10/15 minutes on the BBQ

On the go egg muffins: You can put whatever kind of veggie, meat and or cheese in these.
Make a bunch ahead of time, wrap them and put them in your freezer, than just grap and go.

6 eggs whisk with some cheese, salt, pepper one or two tablespoons milk and what ever veggies you want. I put kale, spinach, onion, garlic, peppers zucchini and mushrooms, you saute the veggies in some olive oil then add to the the egg mixture and I used a ice cream scoop to fill the muffin try, makes 10 cook in oven for 20 min. oven temp 350

the diet seems harsh but if your doctor says so.....
CONGRATULATIONS on your huge weight loss....remember, you need to make good eating habits you can stick with for the rest of your life

I'm doing low carb as well! I made cheese burger wraps with Romaine lettuce. I cooked the hamburger meat on the stove with salt, pepper, garlic salt and table spoon of ketchup. Once in the Romaine, I topped it with tomatoes, onion, cheese and a pickle spear. I have 3 and they were delicious! Low calorie and low carb.
