    You can grind up mushrooms in place of the bread to hold it together and it tastes amazing.

    That sounds good. I'll have to try that next time. Not sure my son will eat it though......lol[/quote]

    Hope you know he/she meant dried mushrooms right? Otherwise you are just adding more moisture :)[/quote]

    I actually didn't mean dried mushrooms. I just grind up portabellas really small, and sometimes a bit of parmesan to bind them together so I am not using bread/breadcrumbs. I don't like dried out meatballs or meatloaf. it comes out great and they don't fall apart and the meatiness of the mushrooms, just enhances the flavor of the dish overall.

    When I make meatloaf I use crushed pork rinds instead of breadcrumbs. My family loves it!

    My favourite low carb meals are Cambodian beef lok lak and Northern Thai nam prik ong. Both are essentially red meat and raw veg. I skip the optional rice and don't miss it. In case you miss the neutral foil of rice, raw cauliflower blitzed in the food processor into rice sized granules would take care of that.

    A couple more traditional European recipes that are low carb. Bagna Cauda from Piedmont (just skip the bread that would normally round out the meal and Grande Aioli from southern France, skipping the boiled new potatoes.

    The bagna cauda recipe below is given as an upmarket starter. A traditional peasant meal would include bread which is used to catch the drippings from the raw veg as you transport it from communal sauce dish to your plate. Bread is eaten when it is soaked in the garlicky sauce. At the end of the traditional meal, eggs are scrambled in the last of the sauce.

    I am currently on the last part of my journey having already lost 10 stone and now within 1.5stone away from my target I am starting on a lower carb diet. I have been eating a lot of eggs for breakfast but that gets a bit tedious. I am looking for any suggestion for low carb breakfasts that will fill me up as I have an active job. Looking to stay below 30g of carb per day :):)
