Trust me, starting to have
a low carb lifestyle is
one of the toughest things
that you'll ever do. Of
course there are thousands
of low carb recipes out
there, so that is not the
problem. The problem is
that we are taught to crave
carbohydrates above everything
else except for fat. We
can cook low carbohydrate
recipes until we are blue
in the face, but that does
not mean that we will like
them. Until you get used
to eating a low carbohydrate
recipe for every meal, it
will be very very difficult
to stick with your diet.
Trust me, I know. It took
me months of eating low
carbohydrate meals before
I was no longer tempted
to gorge on potatoes, white
race, and other high carb
foods.
The key to having good
low carbohydrate recipes,
and sticking with it, is
to vary your diet as much
as possible. This means
having different meats with
different meals, eating
several kinds of vegetables
a day (as long as there
low carb vegetables), and
even varying the way that
you cook and prepare your
food. Remember, your biggest
enemy is not the difficulty
of preparing low carbohydrate
recipes, but your own bodies
inclination to eat carbs
even when you know that
they are not good for you
and will ruin your low carbohydrate
diet. If you can resist
the temptation, you are
home free.
