Diet?

Question

Its almost getting to that time of the year where the season ends and its time to start dieting and training for next season. I cut out all bad carbs and replace them with good ones, like sweet potato instead of reg. potato, corn, brown rice instead of white rice. There is no way I would ever cut all carbs like Atkins, but I like to make sure I'm eating the healthy ones.

My question: Do you guys no any other good sides, entrees, etc. that are low in carbs and healthy. It gets old shoveling brown rice and corn in your mouth week in and week out.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

I colored the question part.

Thanks

Rootvegestables are low in carbs. You can use them in everything.https://lowcarbdiets.about.com/od/whattoeat/a/rootvegetables.htm

I tried Shirataki Noodles (read about them in Men's Health). An entire bag of them contains 20 calories with 3 grams of carbs (2 of those are fiber). They have no taste, but take on sauce you cook them with (I used mine to make pork lo mein).

portabella mushroom sandwich.  &#xD;&#xA;&#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;bake a portabella mushroom with garlic, onions and I cant believe its not butter upside down on a cookie sheet 15 min @ 400 deg.  &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;slice into strips, and put on whole grain bread.  &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;awesome, &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;like 375 calories

Personally i love baked rootvegies. Carrots, Sweet patatoes, parnips and the like.But it is also good in Curry sauces and if you want to make mashed patatoes.

Grilled vegetables are fantastic.  I do zuchini, yellow squash, red pepper, potatoes, asparagus, etc.  Just toss with a little olive oil, salt, and pepper and cook for a couple minutes on a scorching hot grill. &#xD;&#xA; &#xD;&#xA;BTW, corn isn&#x27;t exactly low in carbs.  Does have fiber, though.

Longshot - Thanks for the tip, I will give shirataki noodles a go.
