Low carb ideas

Hi. I am having my sleeve surgery in June. I am a complete carb-aholic! I have decided to cut my carbs now, so I'm not doing it all at once. My problem is, what do you eat for breakfast? And what types of foods contain "good" carbs? I am completely ready to do this, but I just need the knowledge of how to do it RIGHT!

Most flavored yogurt probably is too high in sugar and carbs. At least I sure couldn't find any that were acceptable for me.

So I went with the plain Greek, and I really had to dig around to find a low carb one of those too.

Siggi's Icelandic yogurt is the lowest flavored yogurt I've found, and to me it's quite good. I prefer having it as a snack or a dessert, but it's good for a quick breakfast since you can get it individual cups and just grab one and go.

Liberte yogurt is low-carb in some flavors, like sweat cream. I've only found it at Whole Foods, though, and it's a bit overpriced.

For breakfast I most often will make a smoothie using Trader Joe's brand of plain yogurt that has 23 grams of protein and 7 carbs (if memory serves) with some frozen berries and kale.

@Clementine Sky Thank you for the yogurt ideas. I will check Siggi's website out. I haven't seen their brand or the Liberte on my grocery shelves, but that doesn't surprise me.

Grilled fish for breakfast! Girl Scouts do it better... A lot of cultures have fish for breakfast, like people that live on islands...

I'm going to TRY eating fish for tge first time in my life when I have surgery. I LOVE crab, but no other seafood.

I started making egg muffins for breakfast in a muffin pan. I change it up each week - turkey pepperoni/cheese and I throw in red peppers, ham/cheese, beef/cheese, etc. you can freeze them or they last the week in the fridge. I usually eat it as a mid- morning snack, my shake is my breakfast.

My NUT also said the protein cereal w/fairlife milk is a good bkfst also if you're a cereal person. Good luck! Look up - theworldaccordingtoeggface- she has a ton of great ideas
Search Pinterest- lots of great ideas there too.
Good luck!!

I thought cereal was a no no! I'm happy to hear that I CAN have it!
