Low-Carb Meal Plans for Every Day of the Week – ourcommunitynow.com

My husband is a big guy that likes to eat, so normal diets do not work for him.By simply following a low-carbohydrate meal plan, he lost 21 pounds in 3 months and has kept it off.Eating this way shouldnt even be called "dieting,"as you're not restricting food intakejust carbs. Its all about choosing wisely.

Strictly counting carbs or weighing foods isnt necessary.Nothing is off-limits, just starkly lower the serving size of starchy carbs.Eating low-carb, not no-carblike the Keto or Atkins dietis easy and doesnt have the nasty side effects like bad breath from ketosis. One of the hardest parts of starting a diet is figuring out what to eat every day, so Ive designed a week-long meal plan for someone starting a low-carb diet.

*To calculate the number of carbohydrates in the food, simply take the carbohydrates per serving minus fiber and minus halfof any sugar alcohols.

One or 2 fried or boiled eggs (there's only about 1 carb in an egg, so if you're hungry, its up to you how many you want to eat), 2 pieces of bacon, and coffee or tea (black or with sugar-free creamer and or sugar-free sweetner).

Half an apple with 1 or 2 tablespoons of peanut butter.

Turkey or ham and cheese sandwich on low-carb bread.Sara Leehas a great low-carb sandwich bread called Delightful and it comes in multigrain or whole wheat7 carbs a slice. Feel free to put lettuce, sprouts,or cucumbers on your sandwich, if that's what you prefer.Low-carb dieting also allows for lots of mayonnaise and mustard!
