Yet, in real life, I am trying to cut the bad carbs, such as bleached flour and sugar as much as possible out of my meals. Then, when finding low to no carb diet recipes, I easily weave them into my overall healthy eating plan.
As mentioned, I love pasta. But I love pasta with no carbs and zero calories even more:
I’ve stumbled upon pasta with NO carbs and ZERO calories! Gluten free pasta, how real is that?!! Pasta unlimited…
Well, I had to try it. I’ve used the following Sea Scallop Recipe from the Miracle Noodle web site and loved it…

Drinking loads of water can help ease hunger pangs too. Have you ever heard of the banana diet? Well I didn’t really study much about it, but they claim that if you eat a banana before each meal it will help you to lose weight. I tried that, actually I only ate bananas in the morning and then ate lunch and I was amazed at how I lost weight and now keep it off. You gotta love bananas. I love Carbs too and wouldn’t dare give them up – I just don’t eat them at night, and rather stick to proteins
