Slow Carb Diet: Orange Chicken Recipe

Sticking to a slow carb diet doesn't necessarily mean you have to give up great tasting food.  While I've been following the 4HB diet, I've used several of my cheat days to satisfy Chinese food cravings every once in a while.  However, wouldn't it be nice if you could take some of that Chinese food flavor and use it during the rest of your week while still sticking to the diet?  Maybe, a delicious Asian-style dish such as orange chicken?

Lentils with Kale and Chicken

Here's a new recipe for your slow carb cookbook that was passed to me for slow carb lentils with kale and chicken that is perfect for a slow carb diet. It only has a few ingredients, but it still makes for a delicious and satisfying slow carb meal.

Slow Carb Snack Idea #3

Even though a strict slow carb diet will leave you full and satisfied after each meal, a lot of people still search for slow carb snacks to have in between meals. While this probably is a sign that you could have larger portions for your meals, there are some foods that you can snack on without breaking the slow carb diet rules.

I've published a few posts on some experimental recipes I tried (such as roasted black beans and almond butter on celery), but even more simple than these, there is something much easier to get.

Next time you are craving a slow carb snack in between your slow carb meals, eat a handful of ALMONDS! 

Don't have too many as nuts do have a lot of calories. But if you eat a handful, it will tide you over until your next slow carb meal, and you can feel good that you haven't broken any of the slow carb rules!

Slow Carb Quiche

I've been getting away from posting my slow carb recipes, but I recently tried something new that I would like to share... a Slow Carb Quiche! It is definitely a work in progress, but it did taste good. It's like a traditional, more familiar quiche in that it has egg and vegetables and cheese. The slow carb variation is where the experiment needs a bit more work...

White Kidney Beans with Spinach

Are you following a slow carb diet, and getting a little tired of the same old black beans and lentils in your meals?  And, are you trying to find something else to add to your slow carb menu to change things up a little bit?  I was, and after a bit of searching I came across this recipe for white kidney beans with spinach, which fits perfectly within the slow carb diet guidelines.

Slow Carb Snack Idea #2

As I've been following a slow carb diet, one of the best features is that I don't have the junk food cravings that I always used to get.  That is thanks to how satisfying and full a strict slow carb meal will leave you.  A typical slow carb meal will keep you fueled up for several hours and up to your next slow carb meal.  However, it's not always easy or convenient to keep every meal a slow carb one.  Maybe you forgot your slow carb lunch at home and you have to buy your lunch while at work.  As a result, hunger inevitably will hit you and you won't be able to cook a chicken breast or scramble some eggs to fill you up.  You need something else.

Black Beans with Ground Beef

I just threw together this quick slow carb meal this morning and then crossed my fingers that I had something tasty waiting for me at lunch time.  Luckily, my new creation was a winner, and it is one of the simplest slow carb recipes that I've posted yet!
