Sashimi Low Carb

Not being able to cook or clean what should I be eating on a low carb diet?

My original plan was to eat beef patties for brunch, and then go to a sushi buffet for dinner…

The high dollar muscle meats are not the healthiest parts of the cow, the organ meats are actually the healthiest. I don’t think one portion of a cow is any better or worse than another as far as being healthy. I *do* highly recommend eating grass fed (low carb) animals versus high carb, grain fed animals. Carbs change the composition of the fats in the animals.

You don’t explain your constraints – if not being able to cook literally (no kitchen, no refrigerator) or not able to cook complicated foods. You don’t explain where you are on your low carb journey. Foods available after the first month are much greater than the first few weeks. Are you allowed to do any food prep? Burgers, pork chops, steaks, eggs, omelets don’t take much food prep.

*IF* restaurants are your only option, then that’s a decision you will have to make. If you’re Eating Raw Fish, can you buy raw fish at the grocery store? I know you can get canned fish. You could eat raw eggs, whip them up with some cream, added water & flavoring – you might want to only include the yolks to avoid the raw white globs. Most grocery stores have whole cooked chickens & smoked turkeys – both can be eaten cold. I used to always keep a lot of smoked turkey legs for a quick meal.

I am disabled & haven’t had the strength for food prep, so I’ve been mixing 1-2 Tablespoons each of spirulina, chlorella, kelp, turmeric, wheat grass, parsley, etc. in water & adding chia seed gel, lemon juice & stevia & drinking that all day. It’s filling, I have a few nuts to give me something to munch on.

Faux tapioca – 2 cups of water, 5 scoops of low carb whey protein powder, stir together & add cup of chia seeds, after they have started to absorb the water, add in 2 cans of coconut milk (or cream & added water) & artificial sweetener if you like & mix it all in. Cream a pkg. of cream cheese into a can of pumpkin & add for pumpkin pie pudding.

I make a raw porridge out of low carb whey powder & water, I add ground flax seeds, chia seeds, sunflower seeds, almonds, coconut milk, tahini (ground sesame seeds) & raw egg. All seeds & nuts are raw & soaked to germinate them.

I’ll make a salad with 6 cans: mackerel, baby corn, water chestnuts, bamboo shoots, artichoke hearts, sweet red peppers & add mayo & chia seed gel.

Kim Chee is fermented cabbage & one of the healthiest foods. You can make a huge batch & it will sit in refrigerator fine for a long time.

I’ll cube up some cooked turkey meat mix in a couple of raw eggs add cheese & broccoli with cayenne powder & nuke 2 minutes for instant meal.

The first 2 weeks, you can have several cups of salad a day – Bacon, lettuce & a lil tomato with avocado/mayo dressing is my fav. Jicama, cucumber, celery & radish marinated in sesame oil & hot pepper flakes with rice wine vinegar & artificial sweetener. Make a stir fry with Bok Choy, bean sprouts, bamboo shoots, celery, mushrooms, shirataki noodles. I love eggs & could eat deviled eggs every day. You can smother omelets & meats with mushrooms, peppers & cheese. Meatzza – Meatloaf with pizza toppings. I like thin sausage patties fried crispy with pizza toppings. Pork rinds & celery sticks are great crunch and can be eaten with dips (avocado/mayo/cayenne) & tuna/chicken/turkey/egg salads. I love my rotisserie & it makes meats tasty. I cook a turkey often & make soup with the bones & turkey salads. I’ll cube up some turkey meat mix in a couple of raw eggs add cheese & broccoli with cayenne powder & nuke 2 minutes for instant meal. Flax seed should be eaten 4T daily even in induction.

Ground flax seed (4 Tbsp) 1/4 cup water, sweetener, mix in a raw egg – let sit 10 min. to absorb liquid, put cream cheese in middle & nuke 2 min for daily fiber needs.

After 2 week, you add 5 grams of carbs per day every week & add greater variety of non starchy vegetables. Change your mindset – adapt what you like to eat to low carb -
replace bread with lettuce
replace pasta with cabbage
replace rice with cauliflower
replace potatoes with brocolli
Cabbage makes a good pasta substitute. Make lasagna with blanched cabbage leaves & thinly fried eggplant instead of noodles. Sugar free pasta sauce over fried cabbage. My fav is chicken cacciatore, I add greens & flaxseed for body & add pizza toppings too. Alfredo sauce is also low carb.

I make a lot of shredded cabbage & mayo or fried cabbage if I’m a bit more ambitious. I fry up bacon & onions & it makes any salad special (BLT) Avocado & turkey – grilled chicken – fajita meat & fried onions is great also.

I make huge batches of food & freeze most of it. Go into the forums for recipes – I was shocked that fried “rice” made with grated cauliflower tasted like it’s name sake – faux mashed “taters” made with cauliflower & cream cheese – “potato” salad using cauliflower instead. Shirataki noodles are traditional in Japanese sukiyaki & low carb

Chia seeds sound expensive but 1# will make 10# food – I buy mine in bulk – for $5# with free shipping at getchia.com

I order off Amazon – Lowrey’s Pork Rinds 18 for $15 – they pop like popcorn & are portion controlled.

(berries are lowest glycemic) Cheesecake – strawberry ice cream (frozen berries, cream, a stick blender) – i eat lots of fish for snack (fish “steaks” or mackerel in tins are favs)- olives
