[QUOTE="miahara, post: 1676088, member: 256148"] It's hard enough as an omnivore keeping carb intake low and maintaining protein but for a 'veggie' it must be much more of a problem. I'm sure some 'veggies' will pop up with some good suggestions but here's a suggestion from a confirmed meat eater who does low carb. Look at green veg and alternative ways of cooking it. Roasting rather than boiling can add a completely different taste. Butternut squash has lots of options. You can roast it or use it as a base for soup combined with peanut butter and spices. Cauliflower rice is versatile and celeriac even more so, grate it and create 'hash browns' with the addition of a little cheese and any flavourings you fancy. If you are not completely veggie, then there are many fish other than salmon to try and they are all low carb as are shellfish. One of my favourite occasional treats is [I]prawn saganaki[/I] made with prawns, tomatoes, chilli and roasted feta. Marinating the prawns in ouzo is optional but does add a certain [I]je ne sais quoi[/I]! [/QUOTE]
