[QUOTE="Charles Robin, post: 753145, member: 92241"] I'll give you a few of my favourite low carb foods to give you an idea of where to look. Most cheese is fantastic. Cheddar is great because it's not too expensive. The only one to possibly avoid is cottage cheese, which tends to be higher in carbs. Smoked salmon is one of the best things on this planet in my opinion. You can get 'offcuts' for £1.49 in Sainsbury's and Morrisons. Exactly the same as normal smoked salmon, just much cheaper! Cauliflower and broccoli are my heroes too. I put them into my blender, and it makes them like rice. Add some herbs and spices, fry in a pan and boom, just as good as real rice. Eggs. I don't know what I would do without eggs. I get through loads and loads each week (free range of course :) ). Celeriac. This was a new one for me, and it looks really, really wierd. But it's absolutely brilliant. You can use celeriac for pretty much anything you use potatoes for. Bell peppers. Red are best in my opinion. Almonds. I use ground almonds to make all sorts of things (muffins, pie crusts, bread etc). You can buy almonds ready ground in most supermarkets. For some reason they are about the same price of non ground almonds. Linseed (also known as flax seed). This is a great source of fibre. Ground linseed can be used to make low carb bread. It's super expensive to buy ready ground, but if you have a coffee grinder, buy the seeds and grind them yourself. Much, much cheaper. If you're not great at cooking, no time like the present to learn! I started low carbing this time last year. At the time, I had to look up how to boil an egg. Through trial, and plenty of error, I have learned to make omelettes, frittatas, low carb bread, low carb pizzas, low carb muffins and more. You can do it if you put your mind to it. Search the Internet for low carb recipes, there is so, so much out there. Best of luck, and keep posting on your progress. [/QUOTE]
