A zero carb meal ?

What’s that, a glass of water ?

Plenty of zero carb meals to be had - not just a glass of water!

Try a cheddar salad; cheese, couple of eggs, spinach, celery, cucumber, topped off with a fillet of mackerel (or salmon, or tuna).

Delicious

It's actually about 3g carbs, but DAFNE teach you to disregard less than 10g

If you're used to LCHF, you'll be full with the amount of fat (cheese/fish) in the meal. Remember it's eating high carbs that makes you hungry quickly.

Chicken thighs or any protein with mayo
Salmon with butter
Burgers with cheese and bacon.
I have these all the time but I do have a wedge of avo to get more fat in

Gotta stop, I’m getting hungry.

Well that's pretty stupid, but if it works for you......................

Another reason to be glad not to have bothered going to a DESMOND or DAFNE course !!!

P.S. I think you'll find it's a lot more than 3g of Carb, but I guess if you consider 9g to be zero :banghead:

Works great for me. As for calculating the carbs, it was actually the Carbs and Cals book where you can get accurate refs from.

Proof is in the eating; I'm insulin-free with LCHF, are you?

Insulin free for this LADA would never be possible. All foods effect my bg but I’m happy for you
