Low-carbs you didn't know!

Kristine Alonso

What would you do if your favorite food is surprisingly low on carb?


When you think of ‘low carb’ foods, you may think of those with bland flavour or little appeal but this is where you’re wrong. As the demand for low carb foods increase, there has been a rise in satisfying low-carb friendly foods in the market. However, many everyday foods that we dismiss or don’t think about can actually be suitable for a low carb diet


People may smirk about hearing a low carb diet and eventually whine about how "boring" they're diet would become. But little do we know that low carbs aren't really that dull.


Here are some low carb diets that can be included on your next menu:


  1. BACON




Another food that has been demonised in the past is bacon. Primarily a processed meat and labelled by some as unhealthy and greasy, the majority of bacon fat is actually unsaturated.

2. GOAT'S CHEESE



A cheese that is also aged for a fair amount of time, goat’s cheese has similarly low carb content to brie. With less than 1g of carbs per serving (the same as Brie), goats cheese is considered to be a very low carb cheese.

3. DRY CHAMPAGNE



Although some low-carb diets recommend not drinking alcohol at all, champagne that is dry is one of the lower carb alcoholic beverages (although not as low in carbs as low carb beer). As a general rule, the sweeter the wine, the higher the carb content.

4. AVOCADO



What can you not put avocado on? Technically a fruit, avocado is low in carbs, and most of the carbs actually come from fibre. Containing potassium too, avocados provide a healthy dose of mono-saturated fatty acids.

5. ALMONDS



Nuts in general are incredibly nutritious and seem to be having their time at the moment. They contain healthy fats and can be incredibly satisfying

6. EGGS



One of the most versatile foods, eggs are amongst the healthiest foods out there. Cooked up and served in a number of ways, they contain many different nutrients.

7. TOFU



Although you may think of Tofu as something that only vegetarians eat, it can act as a low carb and high protein substitute for meat eaters too. Tofu contains all eight essential amino acids - season well and add into salads for a low carb alternative to meat.



There are so many surprising foods out there that could help out with your diet without giving you excess weight or any related disease. If you learn how to make use of the nutrients of these food, you'll get a well-rounded diet without worrying about the carbs.

And if you're trying to look for a professional to guide you through, you can book for an appointment.

Dr. Valino -Stock has been my doctor for many years . She genuinely cares for her patients and their welfare! She responds quickly to messages and phone calls. She really knows her stuff and if I could give her 100 stars I would. I have recommended her to many people and will continue to do so!

Doctor's Appointment

Dr. Stock is the best of the best. She is patient, kind, empathetic, intelligent, and thorough with excellent bedside manner. She is invested in your health and wellness and extremely proactive. I have never been so at ease/confident in my care provider as I am with her. I signed up for her concierge service, and let me tell you she is worth it. I could not recommend her more highly and tell anyone looking for a new primary to go to her. She is the epitome of what healthcare should be.

Operating Room

Dr. Valino-Stock is able to provide the care she always aspired to in her previous situation. Her appointments are now longer so she can always explore all of my health care needs. There is also plenty of time and attention for my questions and concerns. This extra service is made possible by two things. Her deep commitment and compassion will not allow her to short-shrift her patients. Even outside of our appointments, she is readily available and quickly responds.
