When you have already researched and asked experts and successful dieters about low carb diets, you can now start preparing your low carb list of foods for the first two weeks. Here are some foods you can include in your list.

•    For meats and fish, you can eat just about anything, but make sure it has zero carb. Avoid processed meats from meat delis because they usually have carbohydrates and also nitrates. Liver is also a source of carbohydrates. But the point here is not excluding meat from your low carb diet.

•    Vegetables are also important in your diet. Eat broccoli, cauliflower, asparagus, eggplant, celery, brussel sprouts, cabbage, lettuce, radishes, spinach, cucumber, and many more. Eating in moderation is the key. Avoid peas, corn, and potatoes.

•    It’s okay to eat fruits, especially berries, but don’t make them the center of your diet. Most of them are sugary so it’s best to make them as occasional treats.

•    During the first two weeks, it is better to drink less milk. See how your body will react. If it’s okay, continue doing that. But if you love milk, you can try skim milk. Some dairy products are okay as long as they are low carb. You can check on packages or labels to know if they have low carb. To get protein, it’s also good to eat one egg or two a day.

•    Nuts and seeds are good alternatives for snacks. You can eat a handful of these. Instead of munching on pretzels and cookies which are high in carb, try these great treats and you might discover they are as delicious and enjoyable as your regular high carb snacks.
