The Mexican goes CARB FREE for a month!

in stories •  8 years ago  (edited)

Technically I'm half Mexican, but as far as food goes I don't think I can remember a time where tortillas, beans and enchiladas were not a option!
So when my husband suggest a carb free month ( just to see what was like) I was understandably hesitant.
However in the spirit of YOLO and also the spirit of 'loosing-weight-and-toning-up" I agreed to give it a go.

A few things I've learned so far:

Cauliflower = rice, bread, beans, chips

Pizza = the thing we shall no longer speak of, I'm still grieving its loss

Musli - can be re created with out oats, surprisingly it does not taste that different!

I'll try and keep you posted ( along with a few of the recipes I used to get me through this long night of no carbs).

Below is a dish I am most proud of so far: Coconut Chia Pudding - Frozen Blueberries - Carb Free Musli

Take care xx
Courtney

Carb free is no joke, but if you are preparing and enjoying foods like in your photo for the month, it should be a breeze :)

Well I'm only six days in, but so far so good! It definitely takes some forethought when prepping meals. I'll keep you posted.

The first few days are usually the toughest, so basically a week in already, you should be in for some smooth sailing. Good luck! :)

Thanks for the encouragement!
