1Realize that the essence of low-carb is weeding out all the refined starches and sugars from your diet. That's all.
2You don't need to buy extra stuff, special-made products etc. Just cut out the starches and sugars.
3The remaining fat, protein and non-starchy vegetables you eat will satisfy your hunger sooner and for longer.
4Water is your friend. Fill a pitcher of it first thing in the morning instead of coffee or other drink. You'll be surprised; drinking water will slake your appetite not just your thirst. Add a couple lemon slices for flavor. Carry some in a sports bottle wherever you go. Drink more whenever you think of it, and especially whenever you get a snack craving. Miracle of miracles, it will ease that urge.
5Make egg the mainstay of your breakfast. Just soft-boil one or fry in oil. If that doesn't satisfy you add a few bacon strips or a couple sausages or half a grapefruit. That should do ya. Forget all about cereal. Sugar-free yogurt is okay if there's no starch added (read labels!)
6For lunch, munch on some lunch meat without bread. Put it in lettuce or eat carrot sticks or other raw veggies. Drink water. Again simple is better.
7Base your dinner on meats/fish you like, plus salad/vegetables. Avoid potato, it is just a starch ball. Focus your appetite and limited time on the easiest of all, like pan-frying a steak, oven-roasting a chicken or ground meat/veg medley. First of all your appetite will be less if you've stayed low-carb earlier in the day; second of all, meat done well is unbeatably delicious. Don't trim off the fat, it adds flavor that keeps you satisfied.
8When you are not at home, keep focused on the mantra: don't order stuff containing refined carbs or sugar; or if they come with the dish, leave them there. At a restaurant, ask for veggies instead of the potato. Skip the bread, fries and dessert. Scrape the breading off the veal or shrimp. Eat the pizza toppings but leave the crust on your plate. Eat the chili but leave the beans behind. And so on.
9Take vitamins when you get up, and before you go to bed. If nothing else this will calm any worries about whether you've taken in enough nutrients.
