WHAT R THE LOW CARB FOODS? plz can any1 list me some whole grains. thanx?

Answer 1

If you want to go the lower carb route, try to include some fruits, vegetables, and whole-grain carbohydrates every day. They contain a host of vitamins, minerals, and other phytonutrients that are essential for good health and that you can't get out of a supplement bottle.

Adding Good Carbohydrates

Carbohydrates from fruits, vegetables, and grains should give you the bulk of your calories. For optimal health, get your grains intact from foods such as whole wheat bread, brown rice, whole-grain pasta, and other possibly unfamiliar grains like quinoa, whole oats, and bulgur. Not only will these foods help protect you against a range of chronic diseases, they can also please your palate and your eyes.

Until recently, you could only get whole-grain products in organic or non-traditional stores. Today they are popping up in more and more mainstream grocery stores. Here are some suggestions for adding more whole grains to your diet:

Start the day with whole grains. If you're partial to hot cereals, try old-fashioned or steel-cut oats. If you're a cold cereal person, look for one that lists whole wheat, oats, barley, or other grain first on the ingredient list.

Use whole-grain breads for lunch or snacks. Check the label to make sure that whole wheat or other whole grain is the first ingredient listed.

Bag the potatoes. Instead, try brown rice or even "newer" grains like bulgur, wheat berries, millet, or hulled barley with your dinner.

Pick up some whole wheat pasta. If the whole-grain products are too chewy for you, look for those that are made with half whole-wheat flour and half white flour.

Answer 2

I do low carb. I will give you a wonderful recipe I got at www.lowcarbfriends.com. Tastes amazing.

Spongebob's Flax banana nut Muffins

2 cups milled flax
1 cup walnuts (or any your choice-some even leave them out)
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup granulated splenda or 12 packets

Wet ingredients
1/2 cup sugar free vanilla syrup (da vinci or any you can find)
5 eggs but I use 4 beaten
1/3 cup cooking oil
1 tablespoon banana extract

makes 12 muffins
bake 15 minutes at 350

This is such an amazing recipe. If you go to the site there are variations like you would not believe. People have made carrot cake, chocolate muffins and some even put it in a loaf pan and make it like bread and make zuccini bread out of it.

Also totally high grain and low carb.

Here is the break down.
According to the author of this of this recipe

as far as the nutritional breakdown? my shot at fitday says, per serving:

171 calories
14 g fat
1 g saturated fat
5 g carbs
5 g fiber (look ma, net ZERO!!!)
7 g protein

(pretty nice, eh? now i don't want to get into how carbs are counted, etc., this is just what i use. i've not subtracted fiber from anything in the 5g carb count. the flaxmeal i use is net zero, since it has 5g carb and 5g fiber per 1/4c (i think that's the serving size they use))

have a great day!!!

Answer 3

The Southbeach diet has a good selection of low carb foods. Basically a rule of thumb for low carb (Atkins and Southbeach) is that grains are a big no-no. I have used both diets and once you eat grain (bread) and you have not reached that stage, you basically have to start over. I believe you are allowed to eat soy, flax, and oats (minimum amounts are small).

If you don't like meat, meat, and more meat, then low carb is not for you.
