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)
Like beef, lamb meat contains numerous beneficial nutrients, including iron and B12. Lamb is often
grass-fed, and tends to be high in a beneficial fatty acid called conjugated linoleic acid, or CLA (14).
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.
7. Salmon (Zero)
Salmon is among the most popular types of fish among health conscious individuals, for a good
reason. It is a type of fatty fish, meaning that it contains significant amounts of heart-healthy fats,
in this case omega-3 fatty acids. Salmon is also loaded with B12, iodine, and contains a decent
amount of vitamin D3.
Carbs: zero.
8. Trout (Zero)
Like salmon, trout is a type of fatty fish that is loaded with omega-3 fatty acids and other
important nutrients.
Carbs: zero.
9. Sardines (Zero)
Sardines are oily fish that are generally eaten almost whole, with bones and everything. Sardines
are among the most nutrient-dense foods on the planet, and contain almost every single nutrient
that the human body needs.
Carbs: zero.
10. Shellfish (4-5% Carbs)
It is a shame that shellfish rarely makes it to people's daily menus. However, they are among the
world's most nutritious foods, ranking close to organ meats when it comes to nutrient density.
Shellfish tends to contain small amounts of carbohydrates.
Carbs: 4-5 grams of carbs per 100 grams of shellfish.

Vegetables
Most vegetables are low in carbs. Leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables are particularly low,
with the majority of the carbs in them consisting of fiber. On the other hand, starchy root
vegetables like potatoes and sweet potatoes are high in carbs.
Dairy
If you tolerate dairy, then full-fat dairy products are excellent low-carbohydrate foods. Just make
sure to read the label and avoid anything with added sugar.
1. Coconut flour
2. Almond flour
3. Almond meal
4. Flax meal
Beverages
Most sugar-free beverages are perfectly acceptable when eating low-carb.
Keep in mind that fruit juices are very high in sugar and carbs, and should definitely be avoided.
39. Water
Water should be your go-to beverage, no matter what the rest of your diet consists of.
Carbs: zero.
40. Coffee
Despite having been demonized in the past, coffee is actually very healthy.
It is the biggest source of antioxidants in the diet, and coffee drinkers have been shown to live
longer and have a lower risk of several serious diseases, including type 2 diabetes, Parkinson's
disease and Alzheimer's. Just make sure not to add anything unhealthy to your coffee. Black is
best, but some full-fat milk or heavy cream is fine as well.
Carbs: zero.
41. Tea
Tea, especially green tea, has been studied quite thoroughly and shown to have all sorts of
impressive health benefits. It may also boost fat burning slightly (27, 28).
Carbs: zero.
2. Erythritol
Shiritaki have rice and pasta made based on a plant in china. ZERO CALORIES, ZERO CARBS and
Instructions
1. Place all the ingredients in a large roasting dish.
2. Mix together with a large spoon.
3. Bake in the oven at 180C/350F for 20 minutes but you must turn the mixture every 3-4
minutes. I set my timer each time I put it back in the oven as it is too darn easy to
forget and lose an expensive batch of grain free granola if it accidentally burns.
4. Once the entire grain free granola is browned and baked, remove from the oven and
allow to cool completely before placing in storage jars.
Recipe Notes
Serving size is 1/2 cup, aprox 43g.

Alternatively, store in the fridge for up to 2 months or can be frozen for up to 3 months.
Ingredients
1 large egg
2 tsp coconut flour
pinch baking soda
pinch salt
Instructions
1. Grease a ramekin dish with coconut oil or butter.
2. In a mug, mix all the ingredients together with a fork to ensure it is lump free.
3. Place the 1 minute keto muffin dough in the greased ramekin and cook in the microwave
on HIGH for 1 minute. Alternatively, they can be baked in an oven, at 200C/400F for 12
minutes.
4. Cut in half and serve.
Instructions
1. Heat oil such as olive oil or coconut oil in the frying pan.
2. Fry the eggs, bacon, mushrooms and tomatoes until cooked.
3. Remove from the pan and add some leafy greens to the bacon fat, stir until wilted.
Serve and enjoy.
Recipe Notes
There's not much of a recipe here but just to say go all out at the weekend and indulge
in a big breakfast.
I'm sure this is how most people think we eat every day - bacon and eggs. But it is the
addition of as many vegetables as you can that takes it to another level and makes it so
nutritious. Even add some cream cheese so the children will eat their greens.
What else do you love to add to your big breakfast? I love wilted spinach, haloumi, zucchini,
mushrooms, and butter – nom nom.

7. Ham and Cheese Crepes
Ingredients
Crepes (8 crepes)
6 oz cream cheese, softened in the microwave
6 large eggs
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
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.
Instructions
1. Measure the first four ingredients into a small pot over medium heat and stir. When it
begins to simmer, turn it down to medium-low and whisk until it begins to thicken.
2. Remove the coconut flour porridge from heat and add the beaten egg, a half at a time,
while whisking continuously. Place back on the heat and continue to whisk until the
porridge thickens.
3. Remove from the heat and continue to whisk for about 30 seconds before adding the
butter, cream and sweetener.
4. Garnish with your favorite toppings. (5.6 grams net carbs)
INSTRUCTIONS
Microwave the riced cauliflower for 2-3 minutes, until tender. (Alternatively, you can steam it.) Set aside
to cool.
Meanwhile, whisk together the shredded onion, golden flaxseed meal, garlic salt, egg, and one egg white
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.

10. YUM!
Description
A delicious Middle Eastern egg dish made on the stovetop. Vegetarian, gluten free, healthy and tasty.
Ingredients
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.

RECEITAS
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.
