Low carb snacks don’t excite me a whole lot. Usually they taste a like the love child of cardboard and alfalfa. It seems like no matter how long I have been low carbing I will get a craving out of the blue that slaps me upside the head like …
Well, I don’t know what it’s like, only that it demands attention and refuses to be quieted with images of skinny women in bikinis on my fridge door or the repetition of phrases like, “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.”
The hell with that. When I am ready to start gnawing on the dog I don’t care how skinny feels, do you?
The thing is, with a little planning you can bring out the big guns on those cravings and blow them away. They might not be gone forever but maybe they’ll hang at the neighbor’s house for awhile, you know? So when you are grilling grill a bunch of chicken breast, a ton of hamburgers, and anything else you like to eat that is low carb. If you make some of the burgers slider sized they make great snacks.
The secret is to have stuff you can grab and eat immediately and that does take a little planning but you can do it. Having legal snacks in the fridge will literally change your life.
