After quitting smoking last october I've gone mad on the carbs, bread, pasta etc, so looking for recipes that are very low in carbs ? or maybe switch to brown/wholemeal ? any ideas would be fab :)

    Basically with PCOS I do low/healthy carbs. Cut white breads rices and noodles. Eggs are a big staple for me lean meats and low sodium soups.

    Fats tend to run higher sometimes when you go lower carb. Atkins has a great cookbook. Lots at low carb websites.

    Shrimp and chicken in great marinades and stir fry veggies.

    One simple dessert blend 1/2 block of cream cheese 1t vanilla 2T milk or 1/2 & 1/2 with 2T confectionery sugar and scoop out the stems of fresh strawberries and pipe into the center. Makes a dessert for 4 servings or more. A little of the filling goes a long way.

    hi,
    I also do low carb and my favorite is calavasitas its zucchini, butternut squash sliced, can of rotel tomatoes with chilis, can of tomato sauce, ground turkey meat I get the one that has taco seasoning. I brown my meat then throw everything else in put a lid on it and simmer until the veggies are soft. You can add cheese also when you serve it. Also I do a pork shoulder in the crock pot and put little bit of broth and chilis. I like these meals because it is a lot of servings and I can just grab some really quick.

    If you feel like you eat too many carbs right now, it's smart to cut them back. I would suggest a low calorie diet, which will automatically have you backing off the carbs and making those healthy swaps, rather than a low carb diet which can sometimes be high in bad fats and high in calories. Just my opinion, don't hate me!!
