Low carb foods


     Try to get as much natural fiber as possible from salad or vegetables, while staying within the 30g carb target. 

    The usual suspects:Beef, Chicken etc. Fish Cheese Butter Any kind of oil Veggies:Almonds (1oz = 5..6g), Asparagus, Avocado (1/2 = 6g), Broccoli, Cauliflower, Eggplant, Green beans, Lettuce, Mushrooms, Olives, Peanuts (1oz = 6g), Red / Green peppers, Spinach, Sprouts, Tofu, soy milk, Zucchini

    Condiments:
    Caesar salad dressing,
    Oil and vinegar salad dressing,
    Mustard (e.g. Dijon),
    Pickles,
  
    Sour cream For the sweet tooth:  Dole or Welsh no sugar added fruit pops (6g each)Sugar free Jell-O + whipped cream (within reason)

    Caffeine can help burn fat (but only on a low carb / high fat diet). Ephedrine is questionable.
