Basically, this diet allows me to eat all the protein I want (or can)
while cutting out sugars and starches. No potatoes, bread, rice, corn,
peas, etc... but lots of steak, eggs, salad and cream. And one other
detail: I eat when I am hungry, until I am full. You don't count calories
or fats - only carbohydrates. So, what exactly does a low-carb eating plan
entail? Here are some typical menu choices for me:
| Breakfast | Lunch |
| 2 fried eggs, 3 strips bacon, decaf with heavy cream | Chicken Caesar Salad |
| Protein shake with crystal light and heavy cream | 2 fish filets with a side salad and sugar free jello |
| 3 egg omelet with swiss cheese and mushrooms | Chicken breast and broccoli with alfredo sauce |
| Dinner | Snacks |
| Rib Eye Steak, side salad, burgundy mushrooms | A handful of macadamia nuts |
| Chicken Cordon Blue with Asparagus | A few chunks of cheese |
| Almond-rolled chicken breast, broccoli with cheese | Low-Carb chocolate |
There are several low-carb eating plans that you can consider if you are thinking about going low-carb. Just to name a few there are Atkins, Protein Power, Carbohydrate Addicts Diet, Sugar-Busters and NeanderThin. Some of these diets are ketogenic and some are not. A ketogenic diet is one which puts your body into ketosis or fat-burning mode. Non-ketogenic low-carb diets can be based on insulin control, or the change in human culture over the last 3000 years.
Below are some resources I have found for a low-carb lifestyle on the Internet. These pages include a wealth of information for anyone considering low-carb, including recipes, hard data, plateau busters and before/after pictures. Some of the stores are absolutely startling. At the LowCarb Texas Link, you can join a mailing list of over 200 low-carbers to get questions answered, support on your journey, or smart-alec comebacks for all the low-fatters you will encounter along the way. This list is the one information source I could not do without. To subscribe to the Texas Low-Carb mailing list, send an e-mail to txlowcarb@painpals.com with the word "SUBCRIBE" in the subject.
