So many ask me daily what do i eat... ???
I have had great success with primarily protein... (low carb... I stay under 25 carbs a day) so I thought I would share:
What do you eat on high protein low carb/ low sugar lifestyle?
I keep my carbs under 25 when I'm seeking to lose...
In maintenance I incorporate carbs... I stick to around 40 daily...

Beef- Ground beef, Steak, Ribs, and Roasts...Pork- Chops, Ribs, BACON (I perfer turkey bacon to be honest) , Loins, sausage, Chicken/ Turkey, Chicken Thighs boneless skinless are my fave with weber honey garlic in the instapot💙💙... Air fried wings are the best💙 chicken breasts sit hard in my pouch...
Fish- Tuna, Salmon, Cod, Haddock, etc. Shrimp/ Lobster/ Crab/Clams
