nutrients, including important brain nutrients and compounds that can improve eye health.
Carbs: almost zero.
Meats
All types of meat are close to zero carb. One exception is organ meats like liver, which is about 5% carbs
(13).
2. Beef (Zero)
Beef is highly satiating and loaded with important nutrients like iron and B12. There are dozens
of different types of beef, from ribeye steak to ground beef to hamburger.
Carbs: zero.
3. Lamb (Zero)

Carbs: zero.
4. Chicken (Zero)
Chicken is among the world's most popular meats. It is high in many beneficial nutrients, and an
excellent source of protein. If you're on a low-carb diet, then it may be a better choice to go for
the fattier cuts, like the wings and thighs.
Carbs: zero.
5. Pork, Including Bacon (Usually Zero)

Pork is another delicious type of meat, and bacon is a favorite of many low-carb dieters. Bacon is
a processed meat, so it definitely isn't a "health food." However, it is generally acceptable to eat
moderate amounts of bacon on a low-carb diet.Just try to buy your bacon locally, without artificial
ingredients, and make sure not to burn your bacon when cooking it.
Carbs: zero. But read the label and avoid bacon that is cured with sugar.
6. Jerky (Usually Zero)

Jerky is meat that has been cut into strips and dried. As long as it doesn't contain added sugar or
artificial ingredients, then jerky can be a perfect low-carb snack food. However, keep in mind that
a lot of the jerky available at the store is highly processed and unhealthy. Your best bet is to make
your own.
Carbs: Depends on the type. If it's just meat and seasoning then it should be close to zero.

low-carbers.
That's because most fruits tend to be high in carbs compared to vegetables.
Depending on how many carbs you are aiming for, you may want to restrict your fruit intake to 1-
2 pieces per day. However, this does not apply to fatty fruits like avocados or olives. Low-sugar
berries, such as strawberries, are also excellent.

fiber, protein and various micronutrients.
Nuts are often eaten as snacks, but seeds are rather used for adding crunch to salads or recipes.
Nut flours and seed flours (such as almond flour, coconut flour and flax seed meal) are also often
used to make low-carb breads and other baked foods.

32. Cheese (1.3%)

Cheese is among the tastiest low-carbohydrate foods, and can be eaten both raw and in all sorts
of delicious recipes. It goes particularly well with meat, such as on top of a burger (without the
bun, of course).
Cheese is also highly nutritious. A single thick slice of cheese contains a similar amount of nutrients
as an entire glass of milk.
Carbs: 0.4 grams per slice, or 1.3 grams per 100 grams (cheddar).
33. Heavy Cream (3%)

Heavy cream contains very little carbohydrate and protein, but is high in dairy fat. Some low-

grass-fed butter if you can, it is higher in some nutrients.
Carbs: zero.

as there is no sugar in it. Read the label to make sure.
Carbs: zero.
43. Dark Chocolate

This may surprise some people, but quality dark chocolate is actually the perfect low-carb treat.
Just make sure to choose real dark chocolate with a 70-85% cocoa content (or higher), then it
won't contain much sugar. Dark chocolate has numerous benefits, such as improved brain function
and reduced blood pressure. Studies also show that dark chocolate eaters have a much lower risk
of heart disease.
Carbs: 13 grams per 1-ounce piece, or 46 grams per 100 grams. This depends on the type, so make
sure to read the label.
Keep in mind that about 25% of the carbs in dark chocolate are fiber, so the total digestible carb
content is lower.
44. Herbs, Spices and Condiments

There is an endless variety of delicious herbs, spices and condiments that you can eat. Most of
them are very low in carbs, but pack a powerful nutritional punch and help add flavor to meals.

 1 1/2 tablespoon coconut flour, optional but improves texture
 1 teaspoon erythritol, optional
 1/8 teaspoon xanthan gum 2-3 pinches
 1 tablespoon melted butter or ghee
Ham and Swiss Filling
 8 slices Black Forest ham (3 oz) I used Oscar Meyer DeliFresh
 6 oz Swiss cheese shaved or grated (I used Jarlsberg), g
Other Items
 dinner plate for stacking crepes
 a very thin flat spatula about 3 across
 a pastry brush
 Serving platter for the Ham and Swiss Crepes
Instructions
1. Blender: Place the eggs, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, and erythritol in the blender.
Blend on low until the ingredients are completely combined. With the blender running,
sprinkle the coconut flour and the xanthan gum over the batter and continue blending until
thick, scraping the sides down at least once. Finish with the blender on medium speed for
a few seconds. Let the batter sit for several minutes (about 10).
2. Prep the Pan: Put a non-stick pan over medium heat. When a drop of water sizzles and
jumps across the surface, it is ready. Turn the heat down just a ti ny bit and lightly brush
the pan with butter. Lightly brush the spatula, too.
3. Tilt and Swirl: Stir the batter. Pour the batter into a 1/4 cup measure and then into the
middle of the pan. Resist the urge to scrape the measuring cup out with your finger. Gra sp
the pan by the handle and begin tilting it in a circular motion to spread the batter into a
circle. It won't be perfect and that's okay. I can get the batter to go around the pan 3
times, ever increasing the size of my circle before it stops, resulting in a 6-7 inch crepe.
4. Cook, Shimmy and Flip: Let the crepe cook for about 1 1/2 minutes or until the top of
the crepe looks dull and the edge browns. You can touch it with your finger to see if it's
still wet or just about set. Now, gently work the spatula under the edge of the crepe by
shimmying it and lift the edge. With the fingers of your other hand, gently grasp the crepe
and lift it a little higher while sliding the spatula under the crepe further. Flip the crepe
and let it cook for about 15-20 seconds more.
5. Stack: Remove the crepe to the plate and begin the process again making sure to lightly
butter the pan and the spatula after each crepe. Stack the crepes one on top of the other.
Let cool and refrigerate or use right away.
6. Assemble: Pre-heat oven to 175 F degrees. Heat a non-stick pan over medium to
medium-low heat. When hot, put one crepe in the center of the pan and add about 1/4 cup
of grated cheese. Place the ham on one side of the crepe. When the cheese has begun to
melt (about 1 minute), fold the side of the crepe with out the ham over the ham forming a
half circle. Then fold in half making a quarter circle. Place the filled crepe on the platter
and into the warm oven. Continue until all of the crepes have been filled.

9. Cauliflower Hash Browns

INGREDIENTS
*Click on the underlined text below to buy ingredients!

 1/2 large Onion (shredded using a food processor or grater)
 2 tbsp Golden flaxseed meal
 1/2 tsp Garlic salt (or sea salt)

in a large bowl.
When the riced cauliflower is cool enough to handle, wrap it in a cheesecloth or towel. Squeeze tightly
over the sink to drain as much moisture as possible. (I drained more than a cup of liquid.)
Stir the cauliflower into the bowl with the other ingredients. If it doesn't stick together well when trying
to form a patty (i.e. if your head of cauliflower was very large), add another egg white.
Heat a generously oiled skillet over medium heat. Drop tablespoonfuls of the cauliflower mixture onto the
pan and press down with a spatula to form hash brown patties. Cook for 2-4 minutes, until the bottom is
browned, then flip and repeat for 2-4 minutes on the other side. Repeat with the remaining cauliflower
mixture.

o 2 tbs cream cheese
o 2 eggs (one for dough, one for egg wash)

Everything Spice Mix:
o 2 tablespoons sesame seeds
o 2 tablespoons poppy seeds
o 1 tablespoon dried minced onion
o 2 teaspoons dried minced garlic

o 1 teaspoon pretzel salt or other coarse salt
Method:
1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper or a silpat.
2. Place mozzarella & cream cheese in a medium sized microwaveable bowl and microwave for about 1.5 minutes. Stir to
combine everything. Make sure all the cheese is melted.
3. In a separate bowl, add almond meal, 1 egg and xanthan gum. Mix until combined.
4. Add the hot cheese to the almond mixture and work the to into each other. Using a rubber spatula works, or wetting your
hands and kneading it in the bowl. Mix until you have a homogeneous dough.
5. Portion dough into 4 balls and on a silpat or parchment paper, gently roll each one out to about 15″ log. Having wet
hands will help from sticking to you!
6. Wrap one piece of dough around each hot dog.
7. Beat remaining egg in a small bowl to make your egg wash. Brush onto each dog.
8. Mix all of the Everything Bagel Spices into a medium bowl and dip each dog into it, covering the dough completely.
9. Place dogs on lined sheet pan and bake for about 20 minutes, the dough should be slightly golden.
10. YUM!
Description
A delicious Middle Eastern egg dish made on the stovetop. Vegetarian, gluten free, healthy and tasty.
Ingredients
 1 tbsp olive oil

 1/2 onion, peeled and diced
 1 clove garlic, minced
 1 bell pepper, seeded and chopped
 4 cups ripe diced tomatoes, or 2 cans (14 oz. each) diced tomatoes
 2 tbsp tomato paste
 1 tsp mild chili powder
 1 tsp cumin
 1 tsp paprika
 Pinch of cayenne pepper, or more to taste (careful, it's spicy!)
 Pinch of sugar (optional, to taste)
 Salt and pepper, to taste
 6 eggs
 1/2 tbsp fresh chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
1. Heat a deep, large skillet or sauté pan on medium. Slowly warm olive oil in the pan. Add chopped
onion, sauté for a few minutes until the onion begins to soften. Add garlic and continue to sauté till
mixture is fragrant.
2. Add the diced bell pepper, sauté for 5-7 minutes over medium until softened.
3. Add tomatoes and tomato paste to pan, stir until blended. Add spices and sugar, stir, and allow mixture
to simmer over medium heat for 5-7 minutes until it starts to reduce.
4. At this point, you can taste the mixture and spice it according to your preferences. Add salt and pepper
to taste, more sugar for a sweeter sauce, or more cayenne pepper for a spicier shakshuka (be careful
with the cayenne... it is extremely spicy!).
5. Crack the eggs, one at a time, directly over the tomato mixture, making sure to space them evenly over
the sauce. I usually place 5 eggs around the outer edge and 1 in the center. The eggs will cook "over
easy" style on top of the tomato sauce.
6. Cover the pan. Allow mixture to simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked and the sauce
has slightly reduced. Keep an eye on the skillet to make sure that the sauce doesn't reduce too much,
which can lead to burning.
7. Some people prefer their shakshuka eggs more runny. If this is your preference, let the sauce reduce
for a few minutes before cracking the eggs on top-- then, cover the pan and cook the eggs to
taste. Garnish with the chopped parsley, if desired.
8. Shakshuka can be eaten for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. For breakfast, serve with warm crusty bread or
pita that can be dipped into the sauce (if you are gluten-intolerant or celebrating Passover, skip the
bread). For dinner, serve with a green side salad for a light, easy meal.

Baked Zucchini Chips

 1 zucchini
 canola cooking spray
 seasoned salt, or other seasoning(s) of your choice
Preheat oven to 225 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or nonstick
foil, and spray with canola oil. Set aside.
Slice zucchini into thin medallions, about the thickness of a quarter. (You can either use a knife &
a very steady hand, or a mandoline slicer.)
Lay out slices on prepared baking sheet, and spray tops lightly with additional cooking
spray. Sprinkle with seasonings of your choice. (A note on seasoning, however - use LESS than
what seems appropriate. These shrink considerably in the oven, and if you use too much it gets
very concentrated. It's better to end up underseasoning and add more later.)
Place in preheated oven and bake 45 minutes. Rotate baking sheet, and bake an additional 30-50
minutes, until chips are browned and crisped to your liking. These are best eaten within a couple
hours of removing from the oven, as they start to get chewy if left out. One zucchini makes one
serving (1/4 C. - 1/3 C. of chips depending on the size of your squash).
Low Carb Chili Doritos
Ingredients
¾ cup almond meal
¼ cup of flax seed
¼ cup of coconut flour
¼ cup of unsalted butter (can use salted but the chip will be more salty)
1 large egg
1 1/2 tsp of chili pepper spice (use more if you like it extra spicy)
1 tsp of onion powder
½ tsp of cumin
½ tsp of paprika
½ tsp of salt
Instructions
1. Heat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Line a large flat baking sheet with parchment paper.
3. Mix all of the ingredients in a food processor.
4. Divide the dough into 2 balls.
5. Place one ball between two large sheets of parchment paper. On a flat
surface use a rolling pin to flatten the dough. Flatten the dough to the thickness of
a thin cracker.
6. Lift off the top of the parchment paper.
7. Using a knife or pizza cutter, cut the dough into triangles.
8. Take off any dough leftover from cutting. Place it with the other ball.
9. Gently lift the parchment paper with the cut dough, and invert it onto the
baking sheet with the parchment paper.
10. Gently pull the parchment paper off leaving the dough on the baking sheet.
11. Bake in the oven at 350 degrees for 7 ½-10 minutes. The chips are done
when the dough is crispy and light brown.12.Repeat for the second ball of dough.
The recipe makes about 30 Doritos.
Serve with salsa, taco dip etc. Store the chips in a bag or container without the lid
or bag closed. It helps the chips stay crisp longer.
Truffle
Ingredients
 9 ounces heavy cream

 1/2 cup Pyure Stevia Blend Sweetener (see post for substitution notes)
 1 package best quality unsweetened baking chocolate (4 ounces), chopped

Instructions
1. Place chocolate in a shallow heatproof bowl. Set aside.

2. Warm cream and sweetener in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Heat until sweetener
dissolves and mixture is hot but not simmering.
3. Pour hot cream over chocolate. Let sit for one minute, and then gently whisk together using a
fork. It will form a thick (but still liquid) mixture.
4. Refrigerate ganache until firm.
5. Line a baking sheet with parchment. Use a small cookie scoop to scoop truffle mixture onto
parchment.
6. Store truffles in the refrigerator. Allow to "temper" at room temperature for a few minutes
before enjoying.
Net carbs per truffle = 1 gram
