Low Carb Easy Recipe



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys, Im about... 2 months out almost 3 and Im having trouble finding something healthy and nice to eat at night time.

During the day I have a shake for Breakfast,(150cal) 2 cruskits with vegemite (70cal) a Meal Replacement bar (200cal) and another 2 cruskits with vegemite (70cal)

I just dont know what to have for dinner...

I would like something that i can cook a large amount of on a sunday or monday night and then eat throughout the week as I have a full time job, gym membership and Univeristy Study (which im actually undertaking a full time work load with ontop of my full time job) So I am very very stretched for time!

I was thinking maybe a quiche but I have no idea about recipe's or what not.

Ive been loosing pretty well (43lbs) and i have made a big tuna bake but this is not healthy but rather a cheap and time effective dish that I can make in half an hour and will last me all week...

The weightloss has slowed down though even with the increased exercise (muscle vs fat I know)

Anyway, question is:

What do you guys eat for dinner? What can I eat for dinner?

Thank you all =)

If you have a slow cooker, you can make chili on a Sunday and have it for the week. You can even cook it and freeze it ahead of time.

I have to cook and freeze for the week as I'm workign full time and afternoons after work are full on with the kids - basketball and footy training etc, I just dont have time to cook Monday to Thursday.

I make a lot of things like curries and Soups. I might serve a beef curry on steamed Beans rather than rice - I dont low carb it personally, but within a meal when you cant eat a lot, I think the Beans are a better bet than the rice. I give the rest of the family brown rice.

Soups again I may throw in a garlic bread to go with a minestrone or vegie Soup, but I rarely eat it myself, the Soup on its own is usually enough. I always make a shepherd's pie when we have roast lamb (you cannot make a REAL shepherd's pie with mince, lol) and again, that's easy enough to serve without giving yourself a whole heap of the potato on top of it. Doug cooks up a great chilli too.

If I were you though, I'd make a few things and portion them into meal sizes - if you spent one weekend making four dishes, that woudl give you a ton of meals if you froze in individual portions and then once a week just make another one and then you have variety. Its not very healthy for you to eat the same thing night in night out, you dont get all your nutrients that way.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
