We rarely go to&nbsp;McDonalds, but if we did, I would&nbsp;choose a small burger (kids) meal, a diet coke or water, and swap&nbsp;the fries with a garden&nbsp;salad. I then open the burger and put the meat patty, sauces and cheese on top of the salad. Voila, the regular meal would have been 870 kCal, 133g carbs, my new meal is only 204kCal and 4g carbs!!!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It just takes a bit of thinking, and it&rsquo;s <em>cheaper<\/em> to buy a kids meal.

I use granulated sweeteners in all my recipes. They measure spoon for spoon in place of sugar. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Whilst others prefer liquid and concentrated sweeteners. Find what works for you, and what taste you find acceptable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I use far less than is recommended because my sweet tooth has decreased so dramatically. Others may use honey, dried fruit, rice malt syrup or agave in thebelief they are natural and beter for you. But make no mistake, theyse are all natural sugars and they will still rasie your blood glucose accordingly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some claim they have protein and micro nutrients, but the small MICRO nutrients, will never undo the damage that chronic high blood glucose does to your body nor the inflammation, oxidative stress and insulin resistance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I personally don&rsquo;t use these because they are still seen by your body as sugar. They will still raise your insulin, still make you have a sugar crash, and encourages some people to eat more, thinking they are good for them. The small amount of health benefit from say dried fruit or honey, is far outweighed by the damage sugar does to us. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And please avoid agave syrup, it is 80-90% fructose, so is just a naturally occurring High Fructose Corn Syrup. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But really, which sweetener you choose to use is always a personal choice depending on your beliefs, how much weight you have to lose, how much you consume, and taste preference. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-low-carb-hacks-pantry-fridge\">Low Carb Hacks &ndash; Pantry &amp; Fridge<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"680\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ditchthecarbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/123-Header-banners-7.jpg\" alt=\"A close up of cans and tins\" class=\"wp-image-19379\" srcset=\"https:\/\/thinlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/123-Header-banners-7.jpg 680w, https:\/\/thinlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/123-Header-banners-7-300x66.jpg 300w, https:\/\/thinlicious.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/123-Header-banners-7-150x33.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/www.ditchthecarbs.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/123-Header-banners-7.jpg\"><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Toast &amp; Jam<\/strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&ndash;&nbsp;The wheat and jam are a sugar hit you can do without in the morning.

Grate the raw cauliflower in the food processor, then cook in coconut cream and flavourings. Fewer carbs, more nutrition. If this doesn&rsquo;t appeal, eat less rice each time, and don&rsquo;t go back for seconds. Eventually you won&rsquo;t want to waste your carbs on rice which doesn&rsquo;t offer much in the way of flavour or nutrition.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\">Fruit &amp;&nbsp;Flavoured&nbsp;Yogurt&nbsp;<\/span><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\">&ndash;&nbsp;<span style=\"color: #000000;\">Take a look at the nutrition lable for fruit yogurt, or a&nbsp;flavoured<\/span><\/span><\/span>&nbsp;yogurt and you will see how high they are in sugar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These banana flavoured yogurt pots have 16g (FOUR teaspoons) of sugar in each pot, yet they still receive the Heart Foundation Tick!!! Try natural yogurt, that only has milk, milk products and cultures. Add some berries for flavour, or cinnamon. Sprinkle coconut or <a href=\"https:\/\/thinlicious.com\/chocolate-grain-free-granola\/\">chocolate grain free granola<\/a> on top.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Cereals&nbsp;<\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&ndash; read <a href=\"https:\/\/thinlicious.com\/grain-free-granola\/\">my post on cereals<\/a> and you will begin to understand what is wrong with our modern food production. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Grains are used for fattening livestock (when really they should be eating grass). Try scrambled eggs, leftovers, <a href=\"https:\/\/thinlicious.com\/chocolate-green-smoothie\/\">smoothies<\/a>, bacon, yogurt, berries instead. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Eat quality protein and healthy fats to your day, rather than having a sugar crash at 10am then you reach for a cake or a biscuit, then you feel guilty so you skip lunch, then you crash again, reach for another biscuit to get an instant fix, then crash again while making dinner. Sounds familiar? Fill up on good fats and moderate protein. Feel fuller for longer.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Mashed Potatoes<\/strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&ndash; Try <a href=\"https:\/\/thinlicious.com\/mashed-cauliflower\/\">mashed cauliflower<\/a> instead, just don&rsquo;t tell the children what it is. Flavour it with butter, or garlic. Put some grated cheese on top too. Again, less carbs, more nutrition. My children used to gag on cauliflower, not anymore.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Low Fat Products<\/strong><em>&nbsp;<\/em><span style=\"color: #000000;\">&ndash; start buying full fat products again. When fat is removed from products for either health claims or shelf life, it is replaced with cheaper sugar and sugar compounds. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Next time you are at the supermarket, and compare the sugar\/carbs of a low fat product with a regular product. For example, low fat cream cheese has 15% carbs, whereas cream cheese spreadable, has 4%. If you increase your fat intake but don&rsquo;t continually cut the carbs, you will end up with a standard <em>high fat high carb<\/em>&nbsp;SAD diet (Standard American Diet).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&rsquo;m sure you will have some great suggestions and your own low carb hacks.
