Caldo de Pollo is a perfect soup for cold weather… when it happens. Soups in general are an excellent way to feel full on less calories – see the energy density diet for more on that. There are as many versions of caldo de pollo as there are of chicken […]

Eggs! They’re a versatile breakfast that keeps and reheats surprisingly well. Eggs are a breakfast staple on any low carb diet plan but making eggs from scratch every morning can be a time-consuming task. That’s where recipes like this – which you can make in a sheet pan and cut […]

Smoothies are a great way to pack a lot of nutrients into your meals. Unfortunatley a lot of smoothies you get at restaurants and even smoothie places have a lot of added sugar. Ingredients like bananas and mangoes just aren’t going to work on a low-carb diet as these fruits […]

Cauliflower mash is a great way to capture much of the flavor of mashed potatoes without all the carbs. In this recipe, we’re pairing cauliflower mash with salmon and asparagus for a low carb meal that still feels downright fancy. You’ll need a blender or a food processor for this […]

It also doesn’t require any reheating, so it keeps fairly well (it does require refrigeration though).  Because there’s no built-in serving size, this […]

We were a little skeptical at first. This is one of those weight loss recipes that, well, looks like a weight loss recipe. But after the first mouthful, you’ll be a believer. The key here is chickpeas, sometimes called garbanzo beans (two names for the name thing – kind of […]
