Trying to make a list foods with no carbs?

[Anonymous]

A no guess work list. I know white breads and pasta have them. I just want a food list for dummies that I can chose from for every meal without having to think about of there are carbs or not.

Just about everything has carbs. Carbohydrates are essentially sugar. You need them to keep your body running at maximum efficiency. Take fruit for example very very good for you need a couple servings a day but has carbs. Veggies once again good for you but have carbs. Milk and dairy good for you but carbs. If you cut out all carbs all you have is protein and you will be missing out on vital nutrients. The best thing to do is just eat healthy.

Everything has carbs. Carbs are sugars and are essential for the functioning of your entire body.

Do not cut out all carbs. The best eating plan balances fats, carbs and protein.

I don't personally know a list, but I can give you what I eat when I want to go low carb:

lots of green leafy vegetables like:

cabbage

spinach

brocoli

etc

lean meats like:

chicken

fish

turkey

beef (sometimes)

tons and tons of fruit (avoid fruit juice)

beans

some nuts

Thats basically it.

Fruits and beans have carbs. They may well be a good part of a normal healthy diet, but are carb heavy.

I'm sure she wasn't serious when she meant ABSOLUTELY no carbs. How the hell is she going to function properly over an extended period of time without some sort of carbohydrates? I can't even stay on this diet for long. My energy levels drop way too low

Hi there, I don't personally have a list however there is a no carbs diet called the atkins diet that you could probably look up and find a list. Hope this helps. Wish you the best.

Um you do know that its low carb not no carb your body can't function with no carbohydrates.

It pretty much can actually, you just can't perform as intense exercise. Your muscles can run on fat and your nervous system can run on ketones made from protein.
