I have now officially completed week two of my low carb diet. By low carb, I mean: no sugars, no breads, no fried and/or breaded foods. I allow myself fruit. To be completely honest, it hasn't been that difficult. The hardest part has been the tedious planning. I have to make sure that I'm always one step ahead of myself, especially when running errands. There aren't exactly many places to get a low carb snack or meal in a drive through. I've been living off these 100 Calorie Cocoa or Cinnamon Roast Almonds as a quick snack option that satisfies my sweet tooth and that I can throw in my purse.
Other things I've been loving are as follows:
Cauliflower Crust Pizza: Woah, Mama! These pizzas are good! I made the first one and was hooked. No lie; this crust is better than traditional crust. It is addicting and so delicious. I also re-heated a few slices the next day for lunch at work, and it tasted just as delicious.
Parmesan Rosemary Crackers: These are a fabulous snack when I am craving something to crunch. The recipe calls for dill, but I'm addicted to Rosemary, so I add that instead. These are delicious. I also omit the salt in the recipe.
Chocolate Mousse/Frosting: Once again, delicious. Even my husband liked this, and he HATES anything diet.
Breakfast Meatballs: Absolutely delicious for a quick go-to breakfast that you can grab and heat.
Paleasagna: This stuff is FANTASTIC. I made this initially before I even stared going low-carb. Even my picky husband will eat it.
Kale Chips: Absolutely addicting as well. I omit the Parmesan usually and just add some salt. Yum!!
Have you ever done a low-carb diet? What's worked for you?
