Here are some six tips about how you should eat zero carb food!
1) Make sure you eat foods which are only from animal origin like eggs, meat and dairy, because they don’t contain carbs.
2) Eat these products like eggs, dairy and meat until you’re full and make sure you stay full! That will help you not to crave for other things.
3) Make sure you eat enough fat, because it will keep you full and you’ll burst with energy!
4) You must avoid all sweets! Make sure not to eat any and decrease the craving!
5) When you’re thirsty drink water and not juices!Unsweetened tea, Seltzer waters, as well as unsweetened coffee are also in the group of zero-carb drinks. The preference is individual, so make sure you choose whatever works the best for you. Water is the drink we all need the most, so make sure you drink plenty of it throughout the day. The best thing for everyone would be to drink water if you’re thirsty and stop when you’re not.
6) Eat when you feel hungry and don’t count calories! You must also stop eating when you’re not hungry!
