Trying to get ideas so I can actually make a meal with no to very little carbs. So far I got the main ingredients but I'm trying to figure out what to make with them. I'm going to be starting my 1st carb cycling regimen soon and I'm trying to make myself a menu.

So far I have:
Egg Whites
Chicken
Tuna
Salmon
Salsa (low carbs)
Veggies (most are low carbs)

i dont agree with no carb days but w/e... dont forget the greens such as brocolli and salad as they make u feel full yet add almost no extra calories to your diet. if your looking to lose weight maybe u could try an EC stack at a low low dose like 50mg ephedrine and 400mg caffeine a day.

Well I am on a cut and need to go low carb for Cholesterol purposes as well so I wanted to try Twin Peak carb cycling. But yea, forgot to include the greens! I'll update the list, Thanks.

YOu don't agree with no carb days, but you advise ephedrine?

Fats will make him feel full and stave off gluconeogenesis.

An EC stack will not remedy the problem (ie diet), it will take care of a symptom.

I eat eggs, ground chuck beef 85/15, peanut butter, olive oil, cheese, chicken. If I have some I'll hit up some steak.

Ground beef patties with spinach/onions mixed in, smothered with melted cream cheese.

I eat carbs everyday

But when I did try no carbs, I just ate tuna for every meal.. nothing else kills your appetite for carbs or any other food for that matter to help you stick to it.. I'm not recommending it though

I used to make stuffed burgers with cream cheese and avocado. It was melty ambrosia.

Best burger I've come up with was using two grilled cheese sandwiches as a bun. Throw some bacon in one, and tomato in the other....not exactly cutting food, though.

I should've thought of the avacado thing, I love avacado. Good deal.

Try them! You can add eggs into the mix too!

Sort of an improvised Atkins recipe:


* 1 pound ground beef (round or chuck)
* 1 green onion chopped
* 1/2 cup chopped fresh spinach
* 1/4 cup chopped tomato
* 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
* 1 1/2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill or 3/4 teaspoon dried
* 1/2 teaspoon salt
* 1/2 teaspoon pepper

1. Combine ground beef, green onion, spinach, tomato, feta, dill, salt and pepper. Form into 2 patties.
2. Grill or pan-fry over medium-high heat for 6 minutes on each side for medium doneness.


With the tomato, they sort of fall apart in the pan though.


Pork chops, salsa and cream cheese is good too.

Brown the chops, add salsa, top with cream cheese and cover ~5 mins until cheese is melted.

you can lose muscle if your blood sugar levels stay really low all day long.. yes u will burn more fat but u will also eat some muscle if your not very careful.. its probablly better to have a small amount of carbs to keep your body happy and not tear into msucle protein for fuel

I have had sustained periods of ketosis and hadn't had catabolism to the degree you speak of, albeit these days I go 4-5 days depleted and then refeed for 2 days. My body is more suited to limited carbs. Perhaps I am of an ancient breed that lived on animals solely?

Every diet had different results per individual. What you say has some truth, as Diets like the Anabolic Diet and it's variations are very well received..

My issue with your post is that you recommended Ephedra to a person without really addressing the cause of their weight "problem". Even if a person does not stay with a cyclical ketogenic, or lower carb diet, it will teach them to manipulate their macros to achieve a desired effect. It is not the be all end all diet, but it truly does teach how big of an effect carb manipulation or timing has on one's composition. If there is one thing to learn from these type of diets, is that dietary fat is NOT the enemy.

Your heritage does have a huge effect on which macro's work best for you. It's not something that is easy to pin down, but finding what works best for you is the biggest challenge to achieving your goals.

Perhaps there is a semblance of truth in Dr. D'Adamo's Blood Type Diet.
