If you are willing to give it a try in the kitchen, you can have your favourite foods like pizza, pasta, pancakes, or stir fry without any of the downsides. You can avoid overloading on fast carbs, go gluten-free, low-carb, and still enjoy the meal of your choice. Let\u2019s see what the key ingredients that you should swap are.<\/strong><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Coconut flour pizza, no wheat<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you love pizza, and I\u2019m sure you do, but you don\u2019t handle refined wheat well or you just don\u2019t want a lot of carbs, you can make a healthier variation by replacing refined wheat with coconut flour. It is gluten free, grain free, low carb flour that contains healthy fats, plenty of fibre, has a low glycaemic index and is really healthy. Its consumption is associated with improved cholesterol and triglycerides. Give this recipe a try, the crust is delicious!<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BQ6m0bUFSGD\/<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cauliflower stir fry, no rice<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Cauliflower is a staple in kitchens as a low-carb, paleo, and vegetable alternative to grains. Rice is very carb heavy and spikes insulin with a high glycaemic index of 75. This can be a good thing soon after a ride when your muscles are hungry, but in the off-season, or just sitting in the office, especially when trying to lose weight, rice might not be your friend. By swapping rice for cauliflower you\u2019re adding a valuable cruciferous vegetable with all of its fibre, vitamins, minerals, and health benefits. Its consumption is associated with reduced risk of cancer and heart disease plus it also helps with digestion. It\u2019s extremely versatile in recipes, the flavour is very neutral it becomes tender yet holds its shape when cooked. Try this stir fry and you\u2019ll fall in love with it.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BZwYXGjFzY1\/<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Almond flour pancakes, no wheat<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Who doesn\u2019t love pancakes? The answer is nobody. And that\u2019s why it\u2019s good to know how to make pancakes that are low-carb, paleo, gluten free, and grain free! All you need to do is replace regular white flour with almond flour and you\u2019re good to go. Almond flour will increase the protein content and supply healthy fats and a wide spectrum of minerals. It\u2019s a great way to make your Sunday breakfast nutrient dense yet still tasty. Just look at this recipe.<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BZyo36AHJ8P\/<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Zucchini noodles, no pasta<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Yes, you can have pasta and stay on the low carbohydrate side of things. That\u2019s because you can make your own pasta with zucchini! You can cut it in a variety of ways and my favourite is just peeling it with a potato peeler which creates tagliatelle-shaped pasta. The cool thing is the texture of these tagliatelle is really similar to the real thing. Just add your sauce, meat, parmesan or whatever else you want on top and you have a no-carbs, gluten-free pasta!<\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BZwj_cHATVr\/<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There is a way to have your cake and eat it, too!
