So.... I've been low carbin it for a while now, and I have found some good foods... at least that I like That I really ahvn't seen anywhere else. For me, i like it easy, and though salds can be easy...after a while they get boring So other than the obvious foods like salad and meet here are some things I have found good.

2 cans Tuna (0 carbs)
enough Mayo to make it not so dry (0 carbs, good bit of calories though)
Mustard (0 everything) amount to your likeing
Shreded chedder cheese (1g carb) depending on how much You use.

and to top it off a ton of Louisian Hot sauce
and some Sricacha Hot chili sauce

Soups:
Cream of chicken w/herbs Cambals (9g carbs)
Cream of broccli w/herbs Cambals (12g carbs)
DONT USE MILK!

Egg Drop Soup (easy to make)


Snacks:
-Cheese sticks!!!!!!
-Slices of chedder with condemnts like: Hot sauce!, Quail Eggs, Tuna, Smoked Salmon, Ham, Chicken breast... basiclly any other low carb meat..mixem up...
-Slices of pre cooked meats
-Veggies dipped in dressings

Breakfast:

Sort of, cured hams get kind of sugary and some sausages.

Robin you might want to look into Orlistat if mayo is going to be a regular part of your diet. It's a lot of intense calories and I've found that orlistat really helps with that and once you get used to it isn't so bad.

Oh, and try fried jalapeno slices, my god they will blow your mind. Fry them in a well ventilated place until they're crispy and eat them like chips. I'd also suggest shiritaki noodles, if you cook them right they are yummy and not a lick of carbs.

How long have you been low carbing honey? I stopped recently, but I don't feel quite right and am about ready to go back to living that way. Seriously look into the orlistat, it prevents some of the fat from being absorbed. It's a little traumatic at first, but once you get used to it things move a lot better and I used it to get out of plateaus.

I have been low carbing for about November 16th this year. So not that long I guess, a month and a day. I've already lost 25 pounds.
Thanx for the info on orlistat.

That tuna concoction sounds fun actually. 25lbs, good job!

it was very tastey!

I read on wikipedia that a multivitamin that contains A, D, E, K and beta-carotene should be taken before bed if your on orlistat. Is this true, or do you really need to. I'd probably forget all the time if I had to take it before bed.

[LordKAT]

orlistat interferes with your body absorbing oil based vitamins, hence the list.

[Hannah]

I only take it with extra greasy meals, like pork shoulder steaks or bratwurst...or for a week or two here and there to nudge stuff along. You do need to take the multivitamin but ya should be doing that while low carbing it anyway, plus vitamin c.

Congratulations.
I eat a lot of tuna, fish in general and chicken. I just  don't use mayo because of the fat and calories. Capers are pretty good with the tuna,like the hot sauce also. While I started on a low carb "diet" I really just changed my eating habits to include less carbs. Egg whites are also a good source and long with hot sauce of course , everything taste better with hot sauce.

[LordKAT]

Lot of hot sauce lovers here. me too. wasabi anyone?

Low Carb rocks.  I am on a maintenance diet where I eat no carbs after noon, and it still keeps the weight off.  I was on the South Beach diet for 2 years, and I am still within 3 llbs of   my goal weight.
I eat Turkey (usually ground), chicken, (skinless), and lots of veggies and salads for dinners.
