Posted on Nov 30, 2010 under Cooking Lite

I want to lose weight and I love fatty foods with lots of carbs! I can cook and I love healthy foods so it shouldn’t be too hard, I just want some new ideas :)

    Low carb should never be low fat.

    During the first 2 weeks, you can have several cups of salads. Jicama, cucumber, celery & radish marinated in sesame oil & hot pepper flakes with rice wine vinegar & artificial sweetener. Make a stir fry with Bok Choy, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, celery, mushrooms, shirataki noodles & your fav meats. I love eggs and could eat deviled eggs every day. You can smother omelets & meats with mushrooms & peppers & cheese. Meatzza – Meatloaf with pizza toppings (pepperoni, mushrooms, peppers, mozzarella) I prefer very thin sausage patties fried crispy with pizza toppings. Pork rinds & celery sticks are great crunch and can be eaten with dips (avocado/mayo/cayenne is my fav) & tuna/chicken/turkey/egg salads. I love love love my rotisserie and it makes the meats extra tasty. I cook a turkey every couple of months and make soup with the bones (add vinegar to leach minerals) and turkey salads. I’ll cube up some turkey meat mix in a couple of raw eggs add cheese (and broccoli after induction) with cayenne powder & nuke a couple of minutes for nearly instant meal. Flax seed should be eaten 2T daily even in induction.

    Ground flax seed (2-4 Tbsp) 1/4 cup of water, cinnamon, artificial sweetener, mix in a raw egg – let sit 10 min to absorb liquid, put some cream cheese in the middle and nuke for 1.5 min. for hot cereal or 2 min. for more of a muffin type thing. Great low carb, high fiber treat.

    After the 2 week induction, you add 5 grams of carbs per day every week and add a much greater variety of non starchy vegetables. Change your mindset – eat what you like to eat, just adapt it to low carb -
    replace bread with lettuce
    replace pasta with cabbage
    replace rice with cauliflower
    replace potatoes with brocolli
    I eat all my favorite Chinese, Italian, even Mexican foods with low carb foods. Cabbage makes an excellent pasta substitute (for me) Make a lasagna with blanched cabbage leaves & thinly fried eggplant instead of noodles. Sugar free pasta sauce over fried cabbage. My fav is chicken cacciatore, I add greens & flaxseed or chia seed for body and also add pizza toppings – pepperoni, mushrooms, lots of mozzarrella. Alfredo sauce is also low carb.

    I don’t cook often. I usually make huge batches of food & freeze most of it. I cook meats 20-30# at a time (for just me) I have gone into the forums for recipes (especially when I first started low carb) I was shocked that fried "rice" made with grated cauliflower tasted just like it’s name sake. Shirataki noodles are traditional in Japanese sukiyaki and low carb. I’ve heard faux mashed "taters" made with cauliflower & cream cheese can fool non low carbers. "potato" salad using cauliflower instead.

    Hope I’ve given you a start, I just don’t cook much but many recipes abound. Adapt what you’ve always eaten first (I bet someone has a recipe for it or low carb version) and then start exploring.

    Chia seeds sound so expensive but 1# will make 10# food (when you can splurge some – Amazon.com has couple lbs. for $16 shipped to you. I buy mine in bulk – 24# for $6# with free shipping at getchia.com

    I also order off Amazon – Lowrey’s Pork Rinds 18 for $15 – they pop like popcorn and are portion controlled.

    Faux tapioca – 2 cups of water, 5 scoops of low carb whey protein powder, stir together & add cup of chia seeds, after they have started to absorb the water, add in 2 cans of coconut milk (or cream and added water during induction) & artificial sweetener if you like and mix it all in. Can be eaten after an hour but will be better tomorrow. Cream a pkg. of cream cheese into a can of pumpkin and add to the faux tapioca for an even more nutritious pumpkin pie pudding.

    (berries are lowest glycemic) Cheesecake – strawberry ice cream (frozen berries, cream, a stick blender) – pork rinds great crunch – i eat lots of fish for snack (fish "steaks" or mackerel in tins are favs)- avocado/mayo/cayenne dip – olives

    Pumpkin soup
    * 1 (12 ounce) package Jimmy Dean sausage
    * 1/2 cup onion, minced
    * 1 garlic clove, minced
    * 1 tablespoon italian seasoning

    Fruits and vegetables are always a safe bet. To stay away from the sugar in fruit, you can look at a whole world of vegetables :)

    Hey JJ

    Well if you want to lose weight fatty foods with carbs isn’t exactly the best option-althought it’s not out of the question either-you have to balance what you eat

    Losing weight isn’t hard-it’s being sure you stay with a plan. Most important-to see some results of what you do differently in a relatively short time.

    Losing a few pounds soon and watching that gradually happen will keep you motivated. Weight loss is simple-calories in vs.calories out. If you burn more calories than you take in, you lose weight-that is the total answer. Question is-how do you do it?

    Two ways-you build up your metabolism and manage your intake….nothing else works. I dropped 50 pounds by power walking and calorie management. I’d suggest two things.

    First-start walking-go slow at first, maybe just a quarter mile and slowly build up your distance and speed-that’s called "power walking". As you build, slowly start alternating your arms back and forth. This builds your metabolism and your body will react to it. You gotta do it every day, but it will get results-you can do it when you want with no gym membership fees.

    Second-get on a calorie management program-there’s lots of them out there and they all will work if you stick to them. There’s a couple of links below for ones that I used and I was pretty happy with them Not expensive either-but following the programs they give you lets you eat a wide variety of things-even your carbs.

    Once you see even some small results (and you will) your mind will say "Hey-I really can do this!",
    and you’ll self motivate…good luck!
