Any good ideas for me or tips on how i can turn my savoury tooth healthier, i used to eat pasties pies like no tomorrow and now i cant i also have a ponchomp(?) for garlic sausage is that bad for me.



Cheers..
 
I'm rather partial to something called Biltong. A South African dried meat. Can be be beef or may other things. It's peppered and really chewy. Really nice just to munch on seeing as it's carb free.
 
Can i get them from any supermarket tom or is it from a specialist shop?

Dear Steff,

I love garlic sausage - I just make sure it's low carb.

Steph,

It is much better to have a savoury tooth than a sweet tooth!

Frankfurter sausages are low in carbs.

Chinese rice crackers from waitrose are lovely and taste naughty but are fairly low in carbs - about 6cho each cracker from memory.

Stay off the garlic sausage - its heaving with fat and has rusk in it too which will add to the carbs.

Try good quality ham - not honey roasted etc - have it chopped up in fridge ready for the nibbles!

Tomatoes are ok but can add up with the carb count.

Olives also have carbs but fairly low.

Beef jerky is carb free and i think fat free (?).

Cold chicken breast chopped up is a good source of protein to fill you up.

Chicken tikka is low in fat and carb free.

Humous is good for you but does have carbs.

Any nuts are filling and fairly low in carbs too.


Not sure if i have helped - just ideas.🙂Bev x

Erm, not to sure on that one. I get it from a specialist place but I've also seen it in places like Waitrose aswell. Mind you, it's not cheap at all.

Ive found a site that does it ty Tom
 
Roast your favourite veg in the oven with a tiny bit of olive oil, then place in a wholemeal wrap with chilli and garlic. Low carbs and healthy!🙂Bev

parsnips and carrotts mmmm Bev your a star
 
Celery dipped in peanut butter, but go easy on the peanut butter. Also some soft cheeses work well with celery, but again you need to go easy on the cheese. Dry roasted nuts are nice too.

If you have a good cookery book with a vareity of dips you could make yourself so you know what's in them, lots work well with carrot battons.

If you slice potatoes very thin and cook them in the oven on a sheet of greasproof you can sprinkle them with herbs for flavour, although they do have lots of carbs.
