what are some food suggestions while on a low carb diet?!
Question: i know of some, such as meats, eggs, cheeses,salads, and
green veggies..
are there any others so i can have a larger variety? thanks for answers.
Answers:
Tofu, nuts (ok only after induction phase is over), avocadoes, pork rinds ;) Spices are hugely important - since you can't have a lot of variety foodwise be sure to use lots of different kinds of spices, oils and other carb-free flavorings. Good luck!

Drink a lot of water and brush your teeth more often because the ada found out a low carb diet can cause bad breath. Eat a lot of veggies and stay away from soda even diet soda is bad on a low carb diet. Cut down your portions and exercise 45 mins a day.
My favorite treat is Diet Barq's Root beer with a bit of Half and Half in it. It tastes like a root beer float, so yummy!
Cucumbers-peeled, scored and marinated in red wine vinegar and black pepper.
Grilled chicken breast with a squeeze of fresh lime juice.
Bibb lettuce, peppers,tomatoes, hard boiled eggs and olives in vinaigrette.
The Atkins diet book also has some low carb recipes.
Sugar-free Jello. And, I know they are gross , but you can have pork rinds. Tic tacs are a carb free snack if you are needing something sweet. If you take heavy cream and whip it with some sweet-n-low, it makes a great topper for your jello. you can also have dry cottage cheese. You buy it in the supermarket next to the regular cottage cheese. It just looks like cottage cheese curds. Hope this has been helpful. Good luck on your diet.
