Weight Loss Forum / Low Carb / May 2006Delurk and Indian food Q
Hi from sunny England. I've really enjoyed your posts, and learnt a lot. I'm on a general LC WOE - in maintenance having lost all I want to. I've been invited out for an Indian meal tonight, and can't find any advice about what's LC and what's not. Can anyone advise / point to any web resources? Keep up the good work.

Just about any curry except a biriani is low carb. It's the rice and breads that's to be avoided!

Cloves and cinnamon both help in regulating blood glucose. Chillies help to regulate appetite. What's not to love in there? : ) Nicky.

My > wife jokes that there must be something in curry powder that my body needs, > because I love it so much :-) I love curry, too, and was adding it to soup a few days ago. I'm talking about 1/4-1/2 tsp per day. I did this for several days in a row ... until I realized that the curry smell was coming out of my pores and giving me some rather intense BO :-( DAMN!

If you're on maintenance you already know how to estimate the carbiness of a dish base don what's in it, right? Apply that skill of yours and you won't have a problem. Lots of Indian food styles have meat and veggies. Others already mentioned the rice and bread, so I'll mention the types of veggies they use. Cauliflower and other low carb types. Peas, lentils and other legume types - on maintenance you'll know your limit. Potatoes are the most common root-like veggie so consider pushing the chunks to the side. Maybe they will have goat - The other red meat. Yum. |
