Low Carbers tend to have food restrictions that can be a tad tighter (variety wise) than high-carbers (again take this with the consideration that various types of high protein diets have more or less variance).

So let me ask you. . .if you were stranded in an underground shelter, desert island, etc.,and you only had five foods that you would have to eat forever (keeping with the low carb theme), what would they be????


Me

Bacon
Tillamook Extra Sharp Cheddar Cheese
Eggs
Oh Boy Oberto Beef Jerky
Pace Picante Salsa

Grin

Mike

caesar salad
chicken
beef burgers
cheddar cheese
mushrooms

Yup, I think I could live off of that.

*lol* I feel like I'm stranded on a rock in the Atlantic..... oh wait I am!!


WATER!!!
Scrunchions (NFLD delicacy I discovered last night... fried pork fat OMG its to die for)
No Bake Cheesecake
Shish Tawook chicken
Broccoli

Ok as water is now allowed I will add...... havarti cheese to my list!

Nat

My five foods...

1. Eggs

2. Steak

3. My salad with Romaine and dressing and stuff

4. Hamburger

5. Chicken

Of course we can have more that 5 in real life, and I'm glad of it. There would be a lot of things I would miss!

Elihnig

Well....

1. Got to have sparkling H2O

2. Cream cheese

3. Eggs

4. Sugar-free Jello

5. Chicken....

These I'd like shipped to me....but I'd do some hunting and fishing.....lol.

My list would be identical to SylvieP's..

1. Ceaser Salad (I'd be embrassed to tell you how many times I eat this a week).

2. Beef burgers were always my fav even b4 lowcarb

3. Mushrooms

4. Cheddar Cheese

5. Chicken...to go with my salad!!!

Hard to even think of these foods as low carb...........isn't low carb GREAT!!!

Of course water, but I'm not sure I want to include that in my 5 foods...I want 5 foods, PLUS water!!

In my most aristocratic voice

It has been ordained that we shall allow you to have water without sacrificing one of your five foods, but let it be known that thou shouldst thank us whom have allowed this.

My husband and I have a similar discussion when we pose the question "If you could only have ONE meat category for the rest of your life what would it be?"

This game has more flexibility

1) spinach salad

2) t-bone steaks

3) pork rinds

4) turnip

5) chicken thighs

Naturally I would have to have butter as well, but one can hardly call that a food unto it's own

And I'm with Mike, water is not a food.

I would probably keep plenty of pork rinds and beef jerky on hand as you don 't have to worry about them going bad and don't have to worry about keeping the from going bad...

My Five

1... Chicken breast

2... Turkey breast

3... sugar free jello

4... string cheese

5... egss



pretty boring but this is my basic menu everyday.

1. Morton's of Chicago lamb chops
2. Spinach
3. Organic cherry tomatoes
4. Parmesan cheese
5. Buffalo Chicken wings

I could live on Morton's lamb chops, but they're a rare treat.

Karen

1. whole chickens
2. a hind quarter of beef
3. garlic, and more garlic
4. spinach
5. good olive oil

I was so tempted to add coffee to the list, but I restrained myself.

Doreen

beef with a nice layer of fat
pork
eggs
spinach
pumpkin (it's sweet)

I could live on this quite easily - but coffee came close to replacing the pork

Hey Doreen,

Are you going to pluck those chickens?

I think you're trying to sneak eggs in there for free...

>>> Are you going to pluck those chickens?

Hopefully, they would be pre-plucked and entrails removed. I guess I'm so used to shopping and buying chicken parts ... so I figured if they were whole, I could have my choice of breast or leg meat ... and it would only count as one choice
