I need to reduce the carbs in our diets. I'd like to see what everyone eats to get some ideas. We need things that are easy to make (I go back to work next week )and work for a bfing mom as well. My kids like veggies but are carb-addicted. We have no diet limitations but my mom has celiac disease. Thanks!

I'd also be super-interested in links, recipes for raw snacks.

Ummm.... I think today is going to look something like this:

Breakfast: three eggs, 1/2 cup of melon, tea, one piece bacon
Lunch: bit of roast beef from last night, pickles, broccoli, a few chocolate covered almonds (my splurge)
Dinner: Chicken w/Cilantro Sauce topped with caramelized onions and guacamole, more broccoli
Dessert: half a grapefruit

That's about 75 carbs, give or take.

i generally eat about 80-100 g carbs per day.

so far ive had

2 hardboiled egg yolks- negligable carbs
1/2 cup fage total yogurt- only 3.5 grams carbs
1/2 c grain-free granola, ie. nut and seed and coconut oil- maybe 10 grams carbs
a handfull of bittersweet chocolate- 15 carbs
so for breakfast im at maybe 25-30 g carbs

lunch- i eat a light lunch, maybe some cheese, meat, carrots, nut butter

dinner- some type of meat, low starch veg like butternut squash, broccolli, cheese

also i drink ounces of cream in esspresso

I am at my Hungarian mothers for a week and loving every minute of it.

I had some leftover chicken heart goulash for breakfast with some scrambled eggs.
I had some vegetable soup for lunch made with turkey neck bone broth. The necks make a really nice gel. After that I made a smoothie with chard, banana, raspberries and blueberries.
Tonite we are having aspargus, chicken and rice. (I am only having a tiny bit of rice as I dont want too many carbs.)

She also made some homemade saurkraut for my visit and its the best saurkraut I have ever had.

Breakfast: spicy sausage tomato sauce with poached eggs

Lunch/snack: plenty of devilled eggs, fresh veggies with homemade mayo/sour cream dip, nuts, and fruit (lunch is usually a snack platter type meal)

Dinner: Steak, HUGE cesear salad (I do a mix of romaine and baby spinach, and the dressing from scratch with PLENTY of bacon and bacon grease) mmmmmmmmmmm

Yummy! A bunch of my favorite meals in one day!

Today was and will be like this:

Bkfst: Sauteed red bell peppers w/eggs *just laid* fried up w/some home made goat summer sausage (all fried up in butter and coconut oil)

Snack: coconut/mango/banana/kefir/orange smoothies w/some kale and honey in it.

Lunch: cottage cheese w/a drizzle of red plum apricot jam that didn't set up, more red bell peppers (raw--3 yo favorite food!...), mixed nuts, and frozen blueberries

Snack: it varied. Some of us had a glass of raw goat milk, some had a couple of pancakes made w/coconut flour and spread w/honey and butter, and some of us had a few pieces of sausage.

Supper: Domestic rabbit and veggie soup made w/rabbit bone stock.

Snack: air popped popcorn w/coconut oil and sea salt. And Granny Smith apple slices (the only apples my 3 yo will eat raw)

breakfast: two boiled eggs with black pepper, two strips of uncured bacon, iced unsweetened tea

snack: a handful of dried fruit and some milk

lunch: stir-fried beef cut thin, with onions, peppers, broccoli, carrots, and green beans, cooked in palm oil and a splash of chicken broth, with wheat-free soy sauce, turmeric, ginger, and paprika; I put it with some soaked brown rice; coconut milk

snack: a banana and some yogurt; the kids also had some blueberry muffins I'd made, but the flour wasn't soaked or anything like that, so I didn't eat them. They do better with wheat than I do; I'm only just now reintroducing any wheat at all.

dinner: curried chicken with the same veggies as lunch (it's what I have) and the same soaked rice, cooked in palm oil and the bacon drippings from the morning; another cup of iced unsweetened tea

(That's what I had for dinner; it was leftovers from yesterday's lunch. I worked until after dinnertime tonight. The kids and DH had some pot roasted beef with pickled red cabbage and roasted potatoes.

snack: blueberries with whipped cream

The only thing that's really explicitly TF about this I guess is the bacon being uncured, and the cabbage, which actually isn't live-culture anymore since I canned some of it in the fall so I could keep it longer, and we're now eating the canned stuff. And the liberal amounts of fat, I guess, too. The meat and chicken are organic, and the beef is local and pastured, but the dairy isn't raw, just local pasteurized, because we've all been sick and I don't have time to drive the distance I have to go for raw dairy these days.

breakfast- 1/3 cup chocolate creme anglaise- made with very little sweetener and bittersweet chocolate, egg yolk and heavy cream, yummy!
3 soft boiled egg yolks. 1 T almond butter. esspresso with ounces of half/half.

lunch- celery with peanut butter, a few raisins, string cheese, butter (yeah, i like plain kerry gold butter as a snack .

dinner- gluten-free morrocan meatballs and mashed cauli/taters with plenty of butter and cream. going low-carb is more fun with cream!

Breakfast was oats with cinnamon and walnuts.

Lunch was cabbage, beet and apple salad with homemade sunflower seed dressing.

I'm about to head out for an 11 mile run so loaded up with a handful of raisins and almonds.

Dinner will be kidney beans stewed with leeks, chopped veggie salad and probably pineapple for desert.

Breakfast: mushroom scramble (yum!) and tea w/ raw honey

Plan for the rest of the day:

Lunch: leftover turkey loaf (ground turkey, onion, garlic, tomato sauce, shredded zucchini & carrot, spices), salad with ACV/EVOO dressing

Snack: probably a smoothie made with raw goat milk, kale & frozen strawberries

Dinner: Beef stew w/ garlic, onion, tomato and plenty of carrots & frozen peas

I try not to go super low carb because I have a EBF baby, but we are totally grain free and sugar free. I do eat some fresh fruit and honey (raw only) otherwise I seem have less milk. Once he's weaned I probably will cut the fruit and honey out for weight loss and healing purposes.

For breakfast: coffee and 1 homemade blueberry muffin(did have some whole wheat flour in it and low sugar)grapefruit
lunch: leftover lasagna and squash/yellow pea soup
water
Snack: cascadian granola bar, water
Dinner will be: veggie stir fry with peanut sauce over rice. another fruit serving.
This isn't my best day of eating but the refrigerator is getting empty!

I like to serve the kids protein at breakfast, local sausage or eggs or high protein cereal or even pb&j on whole wheat or homemade bread.
We do raw "snack plates" daily. I make up a cute assortment of sliced cheese, frest fruit,veggies, and dip. edamame is a hit too. Set it out on the plate. I always serve it when I know they are hungry and more likely to eat it all.

Breakfast: eggs scrambled in CO, melon, tea

Lunch (grazed while the kids played): nitrate free ham and salami, hummus and carrot sticks, blueberries, a few chocolate almonds

Dinner will be: steak fried in bacon grease, artichoke w/raw cultured butter, and....canned peaches. No idea why I'm so desperate for those- I saw them at the store and could NOT get them out of my mind. Took forever to find ones without sugar too.
