Lucca It’s so hard cutting down on the carbs, I love potatoes and bread so try hard to limit how much I eat.
Firstly sourdough bread is fine as because it’s fermented the carbs are easier for the body to break down..
Make root veg patties with a little potato, cauliflower, swede, squash etc any combination is fine but heavy on the cauliflower and light on the potato, just boil or steam,season mash, shape and then fry them a couple of mins each side then put in an oven for 10 mins. These freeze well.
Blanch green beans, broccoli or mange tout to put in salads.
Finally drain a tin of cannelini beans and or kidney beans add finely chopped carrot, cucumber, sweet corn, raisins, blanched green beans finely chopped, celery basically anything you like, mix together in a bowl with a lid add fresh basil or parsley then spoon over a home made dressing and if you like it a tin if tuna.
This lasts 3/4 days in the fridge and is a delicious and filling lunch.
There are a few carbs in this but it fills you up so well.
