I eat lots of chicken. You can make chicken foil packets and also chicken skewers with vegetables o the grill.

Low carbs to us is under 20 per day. Fact one slice of bread is over 20. So low carb for diabetics is different than low carb to eat better.
She has lost over 50 lbs since 12/19/16.
It was hard at first and still is demanding but we do fine camping. Last week was grilled hamburgers, without the bun, deviled eggs, veggies for the burger. Then we had chicken fajitas with one low carb tortilla. Next was a creamy jalapeno, cheese soup.

People must get their energy from somewhere, and the best place is from natural fats. Good fats both create energy and improve hydration retention. Our culture has demonized fatty foods, but it's long term benefits can't be ignored.

Most of our health/diet advice in this current culture is reactionary. You have this ailment or that problem, then you should eat this way or do this activity. Instead we should be telling people to do this or that in order to avoid said ailment. Bread and carbs aren't the problem. Gluten isn't the problem. Sugar and salt isn't the problem. Red meat most certainly isn't the problem. The REAL problem is chemicals. The chemical intake of the modern American diet is sickening. Every time you drink a common soda (regular and especially diet), you're killing yourself. A little bit of GMO based breakfast cereal followed by some processed deli meat for lunch and some whole-wheat crackersfor snack, topped off with a plain tasteless chicken breast seasoned with something besides pure salt/spice...sounds like reasonable healthy advice. However, the chemicals in those items are the real killer. Cancer, diabetes, diverticulitis....these are primarily American diseases due to the American diet.

Change your life, get rid of the chemicals, and eat good tasty food.

I make a lot of stews -- lamb, fish, shrimp, chicken. Roasted vegies. For low but not zero carbs, you can make pies with filo dough.

Thanks! I thought they were a dry pasta product.

They are often in the cooler with the tofu

It's tough to get started then it's easy and for some stupid reason then fall off wagon. I think it's important to just realize and start dropping carbs then. One meal that's really good is use low carb tortillas to make thin crust pizzas starting on the griddle to get crisp then finish in oven to melt cheese.

Replace your pasta with Shirataki noodles. Almost no carbs and can't tell the difference when prepared properly.

Do you have any recipes you used successfully with this ingredient?
I've used them in Asian cookery nicely but would like to incorporate them in other styles of cooking too.

I've used it to replace spaghetti with meatballs. Also used them for Thai peanut noodles. Since they come in spaghetti, Vermicelli, and a few other 'styles' I don't think there's any traditional recipe you couldn't substitute it in.

One of our favorite easy dinners is a rotisserie chicken and a big salad. (Chicken bought from Costco or any market.)
