To make things simple….




The slow-carb diet has been described as a way to lose 20 pounds in 30 days without exercise. The diet outlines what many people already know, to lose fat one much reduce  bad carbohydrates from their diet. Here are some simple ways to follow the plan and what to eat…


Chose one item from each food group to construct 3 to 4 meals per day.


Proteins: Egg whites with 1-2 whole eggs, chicken breast or thigh, beef, fish, and pork


Legumes: Lentils, black beans, pinto beans, red beans, and soybeans


Vegetables: Spinach, mixed vegetables (including broccoli, cauliflower, etc), sauderkraut, kimchee, asparagus, peas, broccoli, and green beans


Eat as much as you like of the above food items. Just remember: keep it simple. Pick three or four meals and repeat them. Almost all restaurants can give you a salad or vegetables in place of french fries or potatoes.  I have found Mexican food, swapping out rice for vegetables, to be one of the cuisines most conducive to the “slow carb” diet.  I love it too so that helps even more….  I basically try for five meals a day and one of those meals tends to be a protein shake …. I do not name each meal breakfast lunch and dinner etc…because some meals may be breakfast like meals…but i’m eating them at lunch time….


Here is a sample of one of my days….




1st meal:  3 hard-boiled eggs, and a side of pinto beans


2nd meal:   2 small grilled pork chops, spinach with bacon, black beans


3rd meal: Small salad made up of Grilled Chicken over Spinach Lettuce, 1 boiled egg, black beans and salsa.


4th meal:  Chicken Breast, pinto beans, spinach


5th meal:  Protein shake


Easy day and I was full all day!!!
