WHAT FOODS ARE BEST? EAT PREDOMINANTLY:
Green vegetables, and vegetables grown above the ground -broccoli, cauliflower, capsicums, zucchini, spinach, silverbeet, mushrooms, bok choy, wombok, asparagus, lettuce, cucumbers, brussels sprouts, celery, eggplant, cabbage. Sliced, or mashed with lemon or lime juice, with or without added sour cream or Greek yoghurt. Meat, seafood, poultry. Choose the fattiest cuts of meat, which are often cheaper, and more flavoursome and nutritious. Salmon, chicken thighs or wings - and eat the pork crackling, and crispy skin. Drizzle with olive oil. Eggs. Layed by pastured hens, when possible, as these contain more vitamin K2. Cheeses. Brie, camembert, blue, parmesan, cheddar - all cheeses are low carb, other than the ones with fruity flavourings (avoid!). Oils. Olive oil - there are some awesome flavoured oils around - try garlic, lemon or herb - you can make these yourself. Coconut oil - good for your insides and your outsides! Avocado oil. Yummy as a dressing mixed with fermented apple cider vinegar. Cook in coconut oil (frying), olive oil and/or butter or ghee (sauteing), and don't forget old fashioned lard, dripping, and bacon fat. AVOID seed oils such as canola (rapeseed), rice bran and "vegetable oil" which are extracted using very high temperatures. Nuts and seeds. Brazil nuts,macadamias, pecans,walnuts, almonds. Flax seeds, chia seeds, sesame seeds, pumpkin seeds. Dairy. Full fat pure cream (or cream with gelatine) and full fat Greek yoghurt (add some cream to increase the percentage of fat). Fruit. Berries are the lowest carb fruits. Eat in season - a handful of raspberries, strawberries, or a few blueberries, with cream and/or yoghurt. AVOID:
Root vegetables (anything grown underground, other than radishes). Soy. Flours. Seed oils, margarine. And why not? Fructose:
