It occurs to me that there are a few low carb favorites we make that I have photos of but they didn't end up with these. I'll find them and add them to the collection.

Thanks, Coonman!

You're welcome.
I was looking for a pic of my grilled and baked eggplant parm, grilled tomato with fresh mozzarella and basil with button mushrooms, grilled octopus.

I hope you find it Adam! Sounds great!

Here's a couple more ...

We eat lots of meat fondue here

with various low carb dipping sauces


Here are Zim's vension tenderloin medallions sauteed with onions in butter


Oh yeah!

I love all these great ideas in lovely dinners,Patrice ! Im taking notes

And here's one more we make regularly. Venison roulade stuffed with herbs and cheese and a ton of garlic.



Rolled up, tied and roasted or grilled and then sliced.

So am I, Sharon! It will be fun to see what else shows up here!

WOW !!! That's amazing !!

Sorry no such luck I've been searching my photos on my phone and on Facebook but they have seemed to disappear.

Patrice your stuffed peppers are similar to mine it seems

These are Chicken Parmesan Stuffed Peppers-without the traditional rice or bread stuffing.

Shredded Mozzarella,also parmesan , garlic, cooked chicken pieces,marinara sauce, hot sauce, scallions-orange and red bell peppers, slowly baked in oven in a thin layer of chicken broth to retain moisture.

The chicken can also be replaced with ground beef or Italian pork sausage. Options are nice.

I also went to a low carb diet due to my sugar being high. In 5 months my a1c went from 11 to 7 and I lost 50 lbs. one of my favorite dishes to eat is potato salad. But instead of potatoes you use cauliflower and Splenda as the sweetener

Wow, there are some beautiful looking dishes on here...thanks, Patrice, and Sharon and others who posted. Believe it or not, I have switched to a low carb diet and quit the salt and caffeine to try to lower my blood pressure and have found that it is working. I really did not have to lose a lot of weight but I lost what I did not need to have hanging around my midsection. I am eating mostly venison, chicken, beef steak, pork chops, ribs, fish and eggs with some cheese, broccoli, lettuce and tomatoes to go along with them. Tonight I am having chicken breast with broccoli and morel mushrooms on the side. No photos since I do not have pretty plates and my culinary skills do not yield photo worthy results. PS, I still eat a few chocolate chip cookies.

I'll start taking pics of my low carb meals.
Lots of stews, soups, various meats.

Mini beef tacos


Duck tacos

For all you pasta maniacs......

Spaghetti squash only has 7 carbs per cup vs 43 carbs for real pasta. We eat a ton of it and it's so easy, kids eat it just like the real thing.

adam m, looks good, but what's with the white rice?

It's total calories , eliminating carbs or going low carbs while eating high fat which are calorie rich will not let you use weight. It's all how many calories you consume daily. Imho

How did I do

we do stuffed peppers, but get the smaller sweet ones - use a taco style seasoning on the beef, mixed with some onion, peppers, garlic - topped with cheese and served with canned salsa and chopped cilantro and lime slices.

another easy quick one, is salsa topped fish fillets. give them a light coat of oil, and your favorite seasoning, i like lemon pepper, old bay, or cajun/creole. then top with a slice or two of onion, and a good helping of salsa and bake until done

True, but we're cutting carbs to keep our vision, feet and add some quality years to our lives.

Actually, low carb diets have facilitated substantial weight loss in countless people. Current science now explains that it is not as simple as calories in/calories out. Nowhere near that simple. Dietary fat does not translate directly to body fat. Blood sugar and insulin, rather than dietary fat, play the major roles in storage of body fat. Blood insulin levels (in response to blood sugar levels which result from carb consumption) determine how dietary fat is processed. The chemical reaction required to store body fat requires the presence of insulin. The less insulin available, the less storage of fat. In addition to excess storage into fat cells, current science also explains the broad range of additional detrimental effects caused by excess blood sugar and insulin that wreak havok on organ systems and health in numerous other ways. All for another thread. I'll get off my soapbox for now.

My intent with my thread is not to get in a debate over why low carb diets work, but to share low carb food ideas among some buddies who already know what is working for them and why.

Now back to the thread.
