last night i had ground turkey and brussel sprouts.

With sticking under 20 carbs a day or there abouts, brussel sprouts are a bit high but i think i was still under 20 for the day.

There is a great carb counter app that is so easy to use...its called

"Click Counter"

This lifestyle is perfect for someone like me who doesn't eat a whole lot, so when i do, i make it count.

I am feeling i need more structure so will adjust accordingly.

I suggest you go to atkins.com and look at their recipes.
They have some bread recipes you can make, which are low carb. Also google 'muffin in a minute' recipe. It's yummy and made in a coffee cup..and ready to eat within a few minutes! It uses ground flax in place of flour and has just a couple of carbs. You can add cinnamon to it, and ice it with low carb icing if you like.

At Thanksgiving, I took all my side dishes with me to a gathering.. made my cranberry sauce and for dressing I used muffin in a minute (I added herbs before cooking), wild salad greens with dressing, Hershey's dark chocolate miniatures (sugar-free) .. and my dinner had 6 carbs!

Walden Farms makes jams and preserves with no carbs..
Look online for Atkins bread that's a loaf of bread, made with coconut flour.. just a few carbs per slice.

I'm writing this so you know you have choices, and muffin in a minute will fill your desire for bread within a few minutes cooking time. I hope this helps.

thank you Deborah, i found some low card wraps - 5 carbs, that i cut in half and throw stuff in.

i’ll look into the muffin idea, i do like muffins.

i’m trying to lose a few pounds now so i really want all my carbs to come from meat and veggies, but it does get boring.

So good to see this thread resurrected!

I fell off the low carb wagon a few months ago. My nemesis: bread.

I can't touch the stuff.

I did strictly low carb for over a year and did great keeping off the weight that I lost in the hospital.

Well, until I told myself I could eat bread again, that is.

I really can't even have low carb wraps or cloud bread. I can't make all the low carb sweets either. Pinterest is chock full of keto/low carb recipes for meals. I will post the next one I try.

I am sticking to lots of meat, lots of cauliflower and broccoli in different types of recipes (many from this thread) and other low carb healthy options.

The miracle of low carb/keto diets is that it is not painful to lose weight! No hunger!

Anyway, I have to be on steroids for my medical diagnosis and I feared I would never lose another pound but sticking to low carb strictly this month, I have lost almost 5 pounds. It truly is nothing short of a miracle to me for a multitude of reasons.

My cholesterol had inched up a little after I got back on the carb train, so this will help that, too. My triglycerides stayed very low and HDL high, so not too much work.

Thanks to everyone that posts awesome recipes here.

PS: Jessie! Come back!!!

It doesn't have to be boring.. I make all sorts of things, large variety.
Truly you should go to atkins.com and check out the recipes.. also, there's au.atkins.com which is Australia's Atkins website.. has a lovely fish pie recipe.

I enjoy the Australian website, but sometimes have difficulty with measurements.. then I write down every ingredient & make the recipe revisions to please myself.
