    When making supper for my husband and myself I often make a pasta meal (or rice, potato, etc.), with a side of green vegetables. When serving our plates I omit the pasta on my plate and use the sauce to cover the vegetables. I mostly use a tomato based pasta sauce and rarely use a cream sauce. The sauce has lots of heartiness with mushrooms, veggies, etc. added to it to make it more filling. I do use some parmesan, romano and asiago shredded cheese to top it as it looks more inviting and adds a bit more protein. I do eat carbs throughout the day in moderation.

    Try this one:
    http://genaw.com/lowcarb/recipes.html

    I don't do NO carb just LOW carb / carbs from veggies - wich is just fine if you're open to that! I'm assuming by no carb you mean just no potato / rice/ pasta / bread right? just think 1 cup of veggies and some meat or 2 cups of salad with a good full fat dressing and some chicken or hard boiled eggs or both on top - all sorts of salads. mashed cauliflower - omelets - 1/2 an avocado with a couple fried eggs and some bacon - there are a ton of options.

    Like some other people said - the REAL KEY is to plan ahead!! make a big batch of something and then you'll have some leftovers ready for you!

    You're not needing to lose very much and you're a runner too. I'm thinking your body probably could use those carbs.

    Good advice. You can not do low carb without planning ahead.

    If you don't have a medical condition diagnosed from a DOCTOR stating avoid carbs for health reasons, or you're prepping for a bikini competition..... low carb is pointless..

    I like this site: http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/

    OR

    Just take whatever you mother makes you and don't have the bread or pasta and put the rest on top of a salad or just make yourself a side of veggies to have with whatever protein is being served - that way you don't have to make a whole separate meal



    EDIT:
    AND THIS! lol thank her for the badass meal :)
    my suggestion, from a low carber, since you didn't plan ahead: 1. eat a moderate portion of the pasta your mom prepared. 2. thank her for the badass meal.

    my suggestion to you if you're looking into low carb for a weight loss solution: 1. start planning ahead.
