Your Low Carb Food Guide

When it comes to finding food low in carbs, you're lucky. Low carb dieting has been around long enough now that food manufacturers are feeling the pinch. To recover lost sales, or just to increase sales, many food manufacturers have come out with low carb versions of their foods. This is particularly true in the bread making industry. But now you can find low carb ice cream, low carb chocolate, low carb ceral and more. Of course, just because these foods are low carb doesn't mean they are low cal. Many people who aren't necessarily on a low carb diet opt for reduced fat or low carb versions of their favorite foods in an attempt to eat healthier. In some cases, they assume that just because a food is low carb or low fat, they can eat more. But since the calorie count is usually the same (and sometimes more) it defeats the purpose.

There are other foods that are naturally low carb like meat. Of course, you want to choose lean cuts, not fatty ones. Other low carb foods include eggs and some cheeses. Combine these three ingredients and you can come up with a pretty tasty dish! But having these dishes every day can get pretty old, pretty fast. What can you do to avoid this boredom? Well, you can have low carb bars or protein shakes. The best protein shakes are the kind you make at home in your blender with protein powder and milk (and yes, there's even low carb milk now--3 grams of carbs per cup). And since berries are low carb, you can get vanilla protein powder, low carb milk, berries (in moderation) and ice, and have a pretty tasty shake. Or you can buy other flavors of protein powder and leave the berries out altogether. Or you can buy the watered-down room temperature versions. It's up to you.
