what are some non-carbohydrate foods?

[SubZeroX]

What are some good non-carb or low-carb foods you can eat if you want to go on a diet? Preferably salads.

It's kinda hard to think of non-carb foods for me to eat coz it seems there are carbs in almost everything.

celery? in theory, you burn more calories chewing it than you get out of it, so it stands to reason, you could starve to death eating celery! :Q

meat is low in carbs.

tofu, i think is lo-carb, correct me if i'm wrong.

meat, pork rinds 🙂P), most vegetables, and the always loved water, yum!


/edit, fish too, which goes in the meat category of course.

Are you going on the Atkins' diet by any chance? I heard that diet basically cuts out all carb foods.

Doh! I meant to say preferably NOT salads (hate them).

Klee, yeah, you are right!

I'm starting to believe in the Atkins diet. There was a great article in the NY Times saying how Atkins has always been right whereas the government's low-fat, high-carb diet is what's actually causing people to become obese.

Hmm, so I should become a major meat-eater, hehe.

I tried the Subway diet and it worked, I lost like 5 lbs in a month. But I think I'm losing weight at too slow a rate doing that. I'm not all that fat. I'm 5'6" 151 lbs. I just want to lose 10-15 more lbs and I will be happy.

Tuna
Chicken
Turkey (some)
Cheese (most)

Salads and veggies do have carbs -- but they're very GOOD carbs and you shouldn't avoid them. You aren't going to gain weight eating garden salad and celery sticks.
