High Protein/Lo Carbers...Recipes and info

Jesse · 04-24-2013, 01:07 AM

Oh man, I love my dehydrator! I buy sliced baby Portabello mushrooms and dehydrate them into yummy crunchy little snacks. 2.5 carbs for 3 oz which is almost half a container, plus they are loaded with vitamin D. I don't eat that much at one sitting. If you like shrooms try them. You can also thinly slice turkey, chicken, shrimp... what have you and dry it in there as well for protein snacks. My green leafy carb that I also have on hand is raw spinach and I dehydrate that until it is crunchy, stick it in a glass jar with a screw on lid and store it in the cupboard, anytime I need a quick veggie that won't mess with my carb load much I toss a few leaves of that in what ever I am cooking or just reconstitute it. Or you can grind it into a powder and add it to soups or a smoothie, if you aren't really a lover of the taste of it. Spinach is one of those plants that even though it does have carbs, they are so wrapped in fiber, that it has a very low impact on blood glucose levels. So in the lo-carb world, it is considered a free food when it comes to carbs, and remember, 6 cups of raw spinach cooks down to only one cup. You will find lots of lo-carb recipes online for it. Cabbage is another lo-carb veggie having less than 5 grams of carbs and only 22 calories for one cup of cabbage, this goes of course for raw or cooked. I use it a lot to make a Thai Chicken Salad with.

Oops, did not mean to write a book, I just love both my dehydrator and my big ol pressure cooker. Most of all, be good to yourself, and have fun!

Hi All,

I have recently changed my diet completey and that means No Sugar,No Wheat and mostly No Meat. I avoid meats and all processed oils.
I know that this way of eating is working for me because I have alot more energy, I actually feel my hunger now and best of all I am losing weight.
The only thing is I am looking for high meatless protein meals that are not processed/fake meats or full of soduim.
Also I think beans are a complex carb so I eat alot of them, as well as fresh/canned fish, eggs, cottage cheese, tofu, greek yougurt with my veggies.
Thanks for the reminder about the cabbage & spinach. I'll be heading out tomorrow to pick up two big heads.
Any suggestions are helpful, Thanks

LOOK

Do you use any of these to cook with? I do. I cook with ghee and coconut oil. and I'm starting to cook more with butter --

What about you?

I also cook with coconut oil, but do use grass fed butter on occasion.

Follow this link to a recipe for YUM + Good for you + No Cook bars! Great to make up a tray and keep in the freezer for when you want a sweet snack without all of the crazy stuff in it.

This site, Stupid Easy Paleo also has lots of other recipes for those of us who follow a Paleo eating plan, as well as a few other eating plans.

P.S. I add unsweetened shredded coconut to my bars most of the time.
