Peel a squash or zucchini in thick strips with a peeler, cook the strips with a hint of olive oil and top with some fresh tomato pasta sauce. This delicious meal tastes almost like pasta and you may even prefer it!
My friend has found a high fiber bread at health food stores that is 1 gram carb and 9 grams of protein. It is an iffy option to include but a piece a day probably won't hurt. The slices are small but the point isn't to make a grand meal, just have some toast! Awesome find.
A glass of red wine is allowed on Slow carb diets and is a tasty and healthy way to avoid sugar cravings. It is also rich in anti-oxidants and can be relatively cheap if you're on a budget. Love that two buck chuck!
- Use a small amount of stevia if you need a sweetener. It's likely healthier than aspartame and doesn't spike blood sugar.
- Eat enough beans, vegetables and protein; hunger should never be an issue.
- Eggs, beans, and vegetables make up the bulk of the Slow Carb Diet and are very cheap.
- Remember that your cheat day is just around the corner for the foods you are missing!
