One year Surgiversary on Jan 10th and struggling like crazy
There is a recipe forum on this site. But many times i look over a dish and see how I can keep the seasonings and flavors without too many carbs.
Sometimes that means not serving main courses over rice, or eating the protein entree with any vegetable that really appeals to me, while leaving off the potatoes and bread. I don't limit fat very much at all, so butter is my friend. For others a lower fat spread may be better.
Steaming veggies with lemon pepper, or some lemon juice and salt is very tasty. Adding oregano to a salad with a low calorie dressing can enhance the flavors, just add any chopped cold meat like steak or chicken, turkey or even tuna.
Try to buy fresh vegetables as much as possible, the flavor will be better.
Another thing to try is to Google low carb, low calorie reciepes. If some seem good but a little too much carbs, look for ways to cut it down.
I have never gotten over loving good food, but I have gotten past the constant over-eating I did before surgery. I eat 2-3 real meals of small portions, and a couple of snacks, especially if it's protein snacks. For the last 3 months I have been on a raw veggie kick, like celery, carrot, red, green and yellow bell pepper strips, cauliflower florets, and cucumber slices with a variety of low carb, low calorie dips and dressings. It seems decadent with several flavors to choose from.
I also dip raw apple, strawberries or pears into yogurt for a change.
Just a few thoughts, hope it is helpfull.
