Low carb means just that. Check your labels if you are in doubt. If you wanna lose weight then you need to do the induction which takes 2 weeks to get the carbs out of your system. That means absolutely no carbs at all. You won’t believe how your appetite pretty much disappears! Try to stay away from aspartame in diet drinks, they can stall you and they can cause brain fog.
No bread, crackers, chips, potatoes, milk, tortillas, peanut butter (has as much carbs as protein) etc.
You can have any meat, except processed meats. Be careful about sausage.
you can have butter, cheese (read labels for least amount)
heavy cream for coffee, veggies, (no corn or peas) mayo, mustard, no ketchup! If it has sugar, don’t eat it. No carrots.
I am on one now. I eat a lot of chicken with mayo and sprinkle some of the hidden valley ranch dip mix powder in and mix it up. Make a great snack or lunch. you can buy the chicken in a can like tuna. I eat cheeseburger steak with peppers and onions and mushrooms a lot. Chicken salads with ranch dressing. Shrimp sauteed in butter and ms.dash. Chicken strips with melted swiss cheese and ranch dressing. You just have to get creative. Snacks, you can have, pickles (check carb. content) wrapped in ham with cream cheese inside. Lovem! Only in moderation though for them pickles! Cheese, bologna, cucumbers and tomatoes with a little salt. That’s great in the summer.
Here’s what I ate today, 2 scrambles eggs for breakfast. Coffee with splenda. I had a salad with grilled chicken and ranch dressing. I drink alot of soft drinks with splenda to curb my sweet tooth during the day. Crystal light is good too. Not too much, Has aspartame. No fruit for quite a while. I lost 50 lbs about 7 years ago on this diet. Took me only 4 months. I have put a little back on and I’m trying to get back where I was. I’ve lost 14lbs in 3 weeks so far. There will be times where you don’t see any weight loss on the scale but don’t give up. It will come if you stick at it. You can go to low carb friends online, there a lot help and recipes on there. Good Luck!
