1.Lettuce-Wrapped Burgers
A juicy cheeseburger should be only an occasional treat. Ditch the high-carb buns or ask for the meat patties wrapped in lettuce. You’ll keep the flavor and protein, but little to no empty carbs. If bread is a must, try eating your burger with just one bun instead of two. Go easy on ketchup, mayo, and other condiments.
2.Skip the Sodas
It’s easy to drink your carbs. Regular soft drinks, sweetened teas, and milkshakes can soak up your daily carb allowance. Opt for water (you can flavor it with lemon or other fresh fruit). Try your specialty coffee drink with almond milk, which has half the carbs of a 2% cow’s milk.
