Ryan — Thu, 23 Jul 2009 21:58:58 +0000

Ingredients:
1 can (15 oz) of lentils
1 can (15 oz) of white beans
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

How to Prepare:
Lentils salad, as a very healthy low carbs food, could not be easier to prepare: open the lentils can, wash and dry them. Do the same for white beans and put them in a salad bowl. Add salt, pepper (according to taste) & vinegar. Mix, serve and enjoy! Simple, huh?

Caloric value, carbs and other ingredients:
Extremely easy and quick to prepare; pepper is optional. Lentils is one of the healthiest foods. While it does contain 60% of carbs in total, 31% are fiber and only 2% are sugars – or “bad” carbs. Similarly, white beans also contain only about 2% sugars.

Low Carb Recipe – Fried Fish with Pork Rind

Ryan — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 15:02:03 +0000

Serves: 2 | CarbsPerServing :16.365 | Prep Time: 20 min | Effort: Easy

Ingredients:
2 tilapia (cod, scrod, or sole will also work) fillets
2/4 bag baked pork rinds
1 tbsp bacon bits
1 tbsp parmaesan or romano cheese
1 tbsp onion flakes
1 tsp garlic powder
salt and pepper to taste
1 tsp old bay seasoning
1 tsp cayenne or chili pepper
6 slices garlic and herb cheese (fried crispy)
2 eggs
enough equal parts olive oil and butter to fill pan 1 cm

How to Prepare:
Blend 3/4 bag of pork rinds, onion flakes, parmaesan or romano cheese, bacon bits, garlic powder or chopped garlic, salt, pepper, old bay, cayenne or chili powder, and crushed fried garlic and herb cheddar cheese in a food processor until you have a fine powder. Dip tilapia fish (my favorite, but cod, sole, or scrod works just as well) fillets in an egg wash (beaten eggs) and then coat thoroughly with “breading.” fry in a large iron frying pan in olive oil and butter (about 1 cm deep) until golden brown. This “breading” tastes much better than bread crumbs.

Low Carb Recipe – Tomato Salad with Chick Peas and Onions

Ryan — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 09:07:05 +0000

Serves: 2 | CarbsPerServing: – | Prep time: 10 min | Effort: Very Easy

Ingredients:
4-5 fresh tomatos
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas (garbanzo beans, ceci beans)
1 onion (optional)
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
black pepper (powdered; optional)
salt

How to Prepare:
Wash the tomatos thoroughly and slice them. Peel the onion & slice it – optional; if you do not like onion, do not use it Add some salt and pepper. Add vinegar. Add a can of chickpeas to the salad. Mix everything together – finished!

Caloric value, carbs and other ingredients:
This salad is very easy and quick to prepare; onion & black pepper is optional. As mentioned in other recipes, chickpeas do not have a very low carbohydrate content, but they do have the “good” carbs – with low glycemic index – and a lot of cholesterol-lowering fibre as well as vitamins and minerals, natural healthy fats and oils and a blend of enzymes.

Again, as mentioned, chick peas do contain about (mostly “good” ones) 23% carbs.

2 tablespoons olive oil
4 slices bacon – cut into half inch pieces
2 tablespoons pine nuts

1 pound spinach leaves – trimmed
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon grated parmesan cheese

How to Prepare:
Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a heavy skillet over med-hi heat until hot but not smoking. Add the bacon and sautee, stirring occassionally, for 4 minutes, or until browned. Turn heat to Med., add the pine nuts, and cook for 1 min., stirring occasionally. Add the garlic and cook, stirring for 30 seconds. Add the spinach, vinegar and remaining Tbsp of oil, cook tossing gently for 15 seconds, or until the spinach is warm and a bit wilted. Transfer to serving plates, sprinkle with Parmesan, and serve immediately. The texture of the pine nuts mellows the saltiness of the bacon and the tanginess of the vinegar.

Low Carb Recipe – Green Salad with Chick Peas

Ryan — Mon, 06 Apr 2009 21:54:11 +0000

Serves: 2 | CarbsPerServing: 25g | Prep time: 10 min | Effort: Very Easy

Ingredients:
1 green lettuce head
1 can (15 oz) chickpeas (garbanzo beans, ceci beans)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
salt

How to Prepare:
Slice the green lettuce and wash thoroughly. Dry it and add some salt and olive oil. Add vinegar. Open a can of chickpeas, wash and dry them and add to the salad. Mix everything with two forks – finished!

Caloric value, carbs and other ingredients:
This salad is very easy and quick to prepare. Chickpeas do not have a very low carbohydrate content, but they do have the “good” carbs – with low glycemic index – and a lot of cholesterol-lowering fibre as well as vitamins and minerals, natural healthy fats and oils and a blend of enzymes.
Due to their low gycemic index (GI), the carbs in chick peas take longer time to digest, thus stimulating a gentler flow of insulin – in contrast to high GI carbs, which produce insulin peaks.
Chick peas do contain about 23% carbs (though mostly good ones), so the amount you can eat depends on your target daily carbohydrate intake.
