Take a deep breath and keep it simple. Tonight for dinner have a piece of protein and something green on the plate. Have a small side salad as well. Here's some examples
Steak and Broccoli, make some lemon butter sauce for the broccoli with some melted butter and a squeeze of lemon
Baked Fish topped with buttery crushed up pork rinds and Asparagus, same sauce as above for both the veggie and the fish
A nice fat bacon cheeseburger wrapped in a couple of large Romaine lettuce leaves with Mayo.
Baked Chicken Alfredo with Baked Cauliflower. You can buy jarred Alfredo sauce or use this recipe for zero carb;
Rich and Creamy Alfredo Sauce
INGREDIENTS
1/4 cup salted butter
1 cup zero carb heavy whipping cream
1 clove garlic, crushed (1 net carb)
1 1/2 cups freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 teaspoon coarse cracked black pepper
[1.5 Net Carbs for entire recipe]
Directions
1. Melt butter in a saucepan over medium low heat.
2. Sauté garlic for 1 minute
3. Wisk in cream and simmer for 5 minutes.
4. Add cheese and whisk quickly, making sure to melt the cheese completely.
5. Stir in pepper and parsley and serve.
TIP — Substitute this recipe for any recipe calling for Alfredo sauce. Many recipes call for Bertolli Alfredo sauce from a jar. Although this cuts down on prep time it increases carbs 3 net grams per ¼ cup. Using the above recipe will cut down total net carb count substantially.
That will get you through dinner. Tomorrow morning start your day with a nice cheese omelet. For lunch grab a salad with ranch dressing and grilled chicken on top. For dinner pick one of the recipes from the list above that you don't have tonight.
Keep it simple, Protein and greens will make you lean, Sugar and carbs will make you large.
