I have been working out with my trainer for 6 weeks and seeing real improvement. However struggling with my diet I have promised my trainer to give his plan 4 weeks to see what happens.

He wants me to eat a low carb evening me, I need help!!

I am not a huge meat fan and on a budget does anyone have any ideas (I'm in the uk)

Thanks

Jen

    Eggs are always a great low-carb standby - cheese or ham omelette, eggs florentine, bacon and eggs etc.

    Tinned fish is pretty cheap - sardines, mackerel, tuna. Add to a bowl of salad leaves, tomatoes, cucumber etc

    A burger served or a grilled portabello mushroom instead of bun.

    lots of salads or stir fried veggies
    cheeseburgers (no bread, with mayo instead of ketchup) even served on a lettuce salad is excellent
    eggs and bacon or sausage
    steak! chicken! seafood!

    once you get over carb flu, you should feel amazing. lots of energy, and a reduction in appetite.

    Lots of ideas on Atkins websites. One big hit is mashed cauliflower instead of potato. And bags of frozen cauliflower aren't too expensive.
