Good question! I went to look up low carb lentil recipes on google. This one struck me as sounding good.

Lentils are a big part of Indian dishes and curries. They are awesome that way, and have a ton of flavor! Google anything with the Indian word "Daal" in the recipe name.

I add brown lentils to many dishes that require slow cooking; beef chilli, bolognaise, curries, casseroles etc.

They fill out a meal, are economical, and are full of fibre. I learnt this from my mother who used to add lentils all the time to make meals go farther.

Ok BEST pre made lentils are by Tasty Bite. Theyre called "madras lentils". They are lentils and red Beans with spices in a creamy tamato based sauce... Like a chili consistancy! Yum they are SO good, i get them at costco. Not sure where else they sell them but theyre worth looking around for!

I used to have the book "Skinny b***h in the Kitch". When my son went vegetarian for 2 years, it was my go to book. It has a really good cold lentil salad in it. Peppers, fennel, lentils- all sorts of stuff. Wish I had the recipe still but shouldn't be too hard to find.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
