4.Make It Green and Leafy
Make boring a thing of
past as you fill your repast with green leafy salads topped with all kinds of low carb treats! Turn your side salad into
main dish by adding any of
following in real or veggie versions: chicken, crab meat, shrimp, tuna, or turkey. Color your garden delights with any kind of cheese and top with
perfect crunch of non-starchy vegetables, including alfalfa sprouts, chives, mushrooms, radishes, and snow peas.
5.Have a Snack Attack
When
idea of having a steak for dinner just isn't enough to get you through
afternoon, it's time you had a snack attack. Fill up on low carb snacks to give your tummy something to smile about. For something nutty, try small portions of macadamia nuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds, or walnuts. For something cheesy, there's nothing more fun than playing with (and eating) string cheese. Or, for
ultimate treat, make a super smoothie. Make a smoothie by mixing your favorite low carb protein powder in water, or soy milk with your favorite berries and a pinch of SplendaŽ.
6.Low Carb Doesn't Mean No Carb
When nothing else is helping you get over your low carb blues, remember this: Low carb doesn't mean no carb. Your job is to rid your diet of refined and processed carbohydrates and replace them with
good stuff: whole grains, vegetables, nuts, and fruits high in nutrients and fiber. When you realize that you don't have to go carb-free to let go of
pounds, you'll stop waiting and begin enjoying all
foods that are available to you on your low carb diet!
