10 Days, 10 Ways to Lower Carbs, Day 9
Today is simple. The next time you want to reach for potato chips, try one of these low carb snack alternatives! In general, I’ve avoided cheese because I don’t eat dairy. You can add cheese in small amounts if you can tolerate dairy. The key for a snack is this: you MUST have some protein, some fat and some flavor! Then, you won’t feel deprived! Protein + Good Fat = Good Snack! Olives – high in healthy fats, they’ll keep you feeling full. Celery with Nut Butter Cucumber chips with guacamole Hard Boiled Egg! A little salt and pepper and you’re set A handful of almonds, cashews, pecans or walnuts. High fiber, low carbs, good fats ½ cup berries, and if you can do dairy, ½ cup greek plain yogurt One or two of my strawberry cookies!

Strawberry Cookies GF, DF, Low Carb
I had a bunch of organic strawberries last weekend, and I didn’t want them to go bad, so I made this recipe based on a paleo recipe I saw. You can also substitute blueberries, blackberries or raspberries. And, because of their nutritional value, they make a great breakfast! This makes 36 small cookies. You can freeze them too. The one thing our family has learned is once you stop eating processed food, most of it taastes too sweet once you try it again. So, these cookies have only ½ cup of raw honey for 36 cookies. I like using natural sweetners vs. others, but you may want your carbs even lower. There are websites you can look up substituting Stevia for the honey, I just haven’t done it. Each cookie has about 5-6 carbs and they are full of protein from the almonds, and net carbs are probably lower due to the fiber. preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) Ingredients 3 cups blanched almond flour (Honeyville is my fav) ½ cup raw honey 1 tsp sea …
Almond Flour Pancakes (WF/GF/DF/Low Carb)
If you are sugar free, wheat free and dairy free, and want to eat low carb, breakfast options are limited, just because our American culture is SO heavy on carbohydrates as the way to start our day. I remember my Mom, who always seemed to be dieting my entire childhood, say “If I eat breakfast, I’m hungry the rest of the day”. And she was right! She would have a bowl of cereal (mostly CHO/Sugar) and milk (again, mostly CHO/Sugar), and toast (CHO), and NO PROTEIN. Without protein and fat to slow down the digestion into your system, the typical American breakfast shoots a giant sugar load into your bloodstream, which in turn, causes a huge insulin spike, and overcompensates, and with many of us, we are STARVING 2 hours later. Why? Because although we’ve digested our breakfast, we still have too much insulin floating around screaming “feed me”!! Again, it isn’t your fault. You just have to know how to eat carbs wisely. Here is a very low carb, low sugar, high protein breakfast …
Healthy Ginger Carrot Soup
This recipe is amazing because it tastes BETTER than the usual carrot soup with dairy. And the thai red chili paste can add a kick or add HOT depending on your preference. You can even put it on the table for those who love spicy to add a bit more. The secret in addition to the red chili paste is coconut milk. This soup is amazing! This is almost identical to the recipe in The Ultrametabolism Cookbook by Dr. Mark Hyman. Like I said previously, that book is one of my most used cookbooks. Ingredients: 2 tablespoons coconut oil or light sesame oil (don’t use toasted sesame, the flavor is too strong) 1 large onion, diced 1 clove garlic, minced 2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger 2 pounds diced carrots – don’t fret the size, you’re going to blenderize it anyway 4 cups chicken broth or vegetable broth if you’re vegan/vegetarian 1 cup light coconut milk (canned) ¼ to 1 teaspoon Thai Red Chili Paste, like Thai Kitchen or Dynasty brands (comes in a jar, a …
