Topic: Low Carb - No Carb Recipes

Does anyone have any Low Carb - No Carb recipes that are really tasty? I am a Carb Junkie and need help quick! When I think of eating, it's always Carbs. I usually go for something quick and easy and that always seems to be someting with Bread, Rice, Tortillas...you get the picture. The Atkin's Diet should be good for me but I couldn't hang for more than 2 days! I'm a pretty good cook (according to my friends and family) so I can handle most recipes. Anyone got any reasonable and fairly easy suggestions?

What's wrong with carbs? They need love, too.

Carbs give us energy, so we need them, too! So don't cut those completely out of your diet. Just try to avoid the simple carbs and eat good complex ones :) For snacks, what about veggies? Lots of grocery stores have pre-cut veggies packaged up. Just buy one of those, take them home, put them in individual baggies if the whole tray won't fit in the fridge (or you want to be able to take it with you somewhere), and you're good to go when you get hungry!

Let's just love carbs. They're way more friendly than protein.

"friendly" is an interesting word choice...! How so?

Because when you're friends with someone you make them cookies, not tuna fish.

Very true! Carbs make me happy. But tuna fish does not.

Just make oatmeal raisin and it's okay, right? Fruit? Oatmeal? ;)

Oatmeal Raisin...one of my favs!

There's really no downside to an oatmeal raisin cookie. And if you drink milk with it, that's like the healthiest meal ever. Ever.

Now what can I do for real food? You know, big entree, main dish? I already do broiled meats and steamed veggies with LOTS OF RICE! Carbo's again. Need other options.
