Low Carb Meal Plan Week 3

This is the third week of our Low Carb Meal Plan. I already lost 1 kilos from 65 to 64. I know, not much, but it was a struggle so I’m celebrating my win!

Again, here are the guidelines:

My Guidelines.

1. As much as possible, should be regular Pinoy Food or similar. This is one of the challenges of creating a Low Carb Menu Diet. Almost all of the posted menus online are American or European food!
2. Can be eaten by others of the family not on a diet.
3. Budget friendly.
4. As much as possible no sugars, including soft drinks, fruit juices, agave, candy, ice cream and many others, including Artificial Sweeteners: Aspartame, Saccharin, Sucralose, Cyclamates and Acesulfame Potassium.
5. Avoid Gluten Grains such as wheat, spelt, white flour, barley and rye. Includes breads, cereals, crackers, and pastas.
6. No oil if possible, “Hydrogenated” or “partially hydrogenated” oils,  High Omega-6 Seed- and Vegetable Oils: Cottonseed-, soybean-, sunflower-, grapeseed-, corn-, safflower and canola oils.
7. No potatoes, corn, and other tubers.
8. “Diet” and low-fat products. You MUST read ingredients lists, even on foods labelled as “health foods.”
9. No highly processed foods. If it looks like it was made in a factory, don’t eat it.
10. Unlimited nuts, and vegetables. Fruits on moderation.
11. 1/2 cup rice. This is a low carb diet, not a no carb diet.
12. No calorie counting. Eat when you’re hungry, stop when you’re satiated.
13. I know some households require a pairing of veggies and protein for lunch and dinner and I will try to accommodate that as much as possible.
14. Sundays are cheat days.
