Dislikes
Dieting, feeling tired, housework,
Im currently doing the LCHF diet and i must say im losing weight and finding the diet very good.
But the only thing is i am running out of ideas of what to do with meal times esp dinner meals.

I would appreciate if any of you guys could post some ideas or recipes of what i can make.

Thank you :)

Ooh so many possibilities. Make the cauliflower your new best friend. Try cauliflower rice - grate cauliflower and fry in coconut oil with whatever else you like eg garlic or mustard seeds and lemon juice. Cauliflower is also good as cauliflower cheese, mashed or roasted. I also make cottage pie with sweet potato mash or use sweet potato to make chips - don't have too much of it though. A few good recipes:

I'm a big fan of salad in general so eat a lot of what I'd call substantial salads. Even before my prediabetes diagnosis I preferred meatballs (vegetarian ones for me) on salad. I also use vegetarian chicken to make a Mexican style salad with a dressing made of sour cream/mayo/fresh lime/chipotle chillies & mashed avocado. The Mexican dressing is also nice in a BLT omelette. Haloumi & hummus salad is gorgeous. Of course now the weather is getting cold I guess I'll have to branch out a bit!

People that can't listen to other people's opinions.
People that can't say sorry.
Salmon and salad. Especially with rocket and loads of home made dressings which are so easy to make.

I generally eat the same meals as before just leave out the carbs and have extra veg.
