Hi Roch

Sorry to hear that you are finding it difficult to get back into low carbing and the choices of foods.

You said about a seasoning being 20 g per 100g, but how much of it do you use? Using most spices and herbs is fine to marinate your food as the amount you use is quite small and is probably just one or two carbs at best.

I must admit I tend to eat my meat quite plain anyway as a pan fried steak or porkchop is OK for me. You might want to do a stir fry with chicken breast and use cream cheese to coat the chicken towards the end of the process.

Have a look at some of the sections in this newbies thread of hot links. That will give you more ideas of what to do with your food.

Do not worry about not having specific low carb products. You do not need them. I've been low carbing quite happily for 20 months now and do not feel any need to use them.

Every success.

Hi I have just started l'cing, and have invented a lovely sauce for chicken, i use mayonnaise and add some garlic powder, and black pepper, mix it all up (it is not measured just to your own taste) and if you are grilling chicken (breasts or whatever) spoon a heapful onto the chicken and put it under the grill till it bubbles and turns a little golden, also you can add some parmesan cheese to it, it is deleicious, my mouth is watering just thinking about it. Since you can have mayo there is no carbs in the garlic or pepper, and just a little in the parmesan. Try it you'll love it. Bye Bunner
