Low Carb Recipes

HI There,

Here is a yummy one for you. This is a pasta-free dish (low carb) and dependong on the type of meatballs you buy (I buy low fat turkey meatballs, or chicken meatballs) this is also high in protein and low in fat! Can't go wrong here. My bf LOVES this! Use lots of fresh basil.

Where? lol

I feel like the summer is sometimes easier to lose weight. My husband and I grill a lot and this cuts down on a lot of fatty oils with frying and cuts down on carbs when you bake and bread meats. We typically grill with a seasonings (yes high in sodium, but I dont mind that) and use this seasoning that we get at a local meat store called "Fun salt" and it tastes good on anything and seems to work as a tenderizer as well. Also, when we grill, you can put vedgies in alluminum foil, add a small amt of olive oil or spray butter and grill those as well. You can also have a sweet potato (better for you and less carbs) plain or a baked potato too.

During the winter, I would cut up chicken or porkchops in chunks, season with salt and pepper, spray the pan with pam (had to spray a few tiems while cooking) and cook until done. I would get a side of low fat ranch dressing from the fridge and dip my chicken into it. This is always a low cal / low fat choice too.

I lost about 15 puonds actually for my wedding in the matter of four months (ok, I waited till the last minute haha. I gained a few back from pigging out on our honeymoon and took a break off of my fitness pal when we came back. But now im back on to maintain my current weight.

if you're doing low carb, why would you want low fat recipes? you need fat!

chicken coated in egg and almond flour, fried in coconut oil, served over spaghetti squash is my new fave low carb meal (chicken parm!)

eggs and bacon
almond flour pancakes
a salad with a burger on it (or chicken, or pork chop)
shrimp cocktail
stir fry (no rice of course)
flax muffins

grill steak and zucchini! i could eat this everyday

Where do you buy almond flour? Can you use protein powder to bake with?

amazon.com has it. i hear that honeyville is the best brand, but i've only had bobs red mill.
i got mine at ocean state job lots in new england.

you can bake certain desserty things with protein powder (i'm guess choco and vanilla?) i've seen recipes, but never tried it.

i use carbquick sometimes when i'm closer to my goal.

these are great

You can buy almond flour at your local walmart! It's about ten dollars a pound. It should be located somewhere near the organic/ gluten free products. HTH
