When you’re on a low carb diet, there are actually quite a few options that you can eat that you may not have even thought of. My husband and I are currently doing the low carb thing in order to get back into fighting shape for the summer time, and while you usually do feel a little deprived at first, it’s easy to adapt to the low carb diet because you are allowed to have a little more fat than you can have on other diets.
This can be a huge consolation. At least for people like me that love to eat fatty foods! Seriously though, fat does add a lot of flavor to foods, and it also does something else that can be incredibly important if you are to diet and lose weight successfully – it satiates your appetite.
Low fat diets are one of the hardest for me, because foods that are very low in fat tend to also not stick with you for as long, unless they are low in fat and incredibly high in fiber. This is the number one reason why the low carb diet continues to be a popular choice for many people.
You may find that if you’ve done the low carb diet as a lifestyle, it can lose its effectiveness, this probably just means your body has adapted to the lower carbs and is starting to store the excess fat you’re eating in your diet in the thighs and belly. You should really begin to cut the fat down and not concentrate on fatty foods like bacon and sausage as a staple in your low car diet.
Instead you can opt for turkey sausage and turkey bacon. One of my favorites is to take low fat cream chees, turkey pepperoni, and a low carb small wrap (whole wheat), and wrap it all up into a little roll. This can really help curb your cravings for things like pizza and sandwiches which combine carbs with cheese and meat.
Another idea is to take ham, cream cheese, and a dill pickle, and wrap them up and put toothpicks in them as a snack. Another great options for snacks is always almonds and walnuts, which are lower in carbs and also contain fiber which helps fill you up. They also contain healthy omega 3 fats, which are even more fulfilling.
I just found a great cheese that helps counteract the sometimes constipating effects of normal cheeses. It’s by a brand called Heini’s, and it has active yogurt cultures in it. And it’s yummy, with zero carbs! It comes in all kinds of cool flavors too like sundried tomato and basil, jalapeno, and herb and garlic.
