Thanks for sharing I an elderly female who has been eating somewhere between Keto and low carb for about 3 years, have gone off 3 meds reduced A1c, and lost 50 pounds so appreciate this greatly for ideas.
Hi Paula 😁 Wow this is so inspiring to read! Thank you so much for sharing this with us 🥰 and of course you're welcome. I hope to do lots more low carb recipes soon.
Wow that's awesome but for me keto has too much fat for me so now I'm going to try low carb to improve my health and life I'm 62 will be 63 in July. Thank you for your inspiration ☺️🙏
Thank you for sharing with us a look at your personal weekly basic meal plan. Meal planning is hard for me, if it gets harder when you have to balance food restrictions. I get great ideas from you every week. Your positive outlook and healthy goals give me motivation to improve my eating as well as my family’s eating.
awe..thanks Becky 🥰 I'm so glad that my videos inspire you. It does get harder with food restrictions and especially for families. I wasn't sure about sharing this-if it would be helpful or not, so I'm especially appreciative of your comment 💜 Have a great rest of your weekend and week ahead.
@@ArdentMichelle I picked up some frozen avocado at Aldi months back. Haven’t seen it since, but loved it and found it very convenient. Thanks for the tip, I’ll look at Sam’s Club next New York trip.
@@susans9491 thanks for your input on this. It's the first time I spotted it at Samsclub. I just checked and it's $6.58 for 2 pounds. Will be so handy to have in the freezer.
@@ArdentMichelle it really is a good product and so handy to have on hand. We are a long way from avocado country and it can be very tricky to get one at the right time!
Lots of great ideas - thanks! A recent favorite for me is to grab some egg roll or spring roll wrappers and a bag of Cole slaw mix. I wilt the Cole slaw mix in a pan with some cashew pieces and Asian spices then use that as filling. I spritz the egg rolls with olive oil spray and cook the in the air fryer. You can freeze the uncooked egg rolls and air fry them from frozen and they turn out just as good. It's a very healthy alternative to regular frying.
@@thelisaofmonalisa4829 I like the black bean burger recipe from Budget Bytes. If I want a spicy burger, I'll also throw in 1 or 2 peppers from a can of chipotle peppers in adobo sauce
Great ideas! I love this one about adding the rice to the stir fry instead of putting on the side. A lonely little pile of rice is so... disappointing.
This was informative, I try to do a low carb eating plan off and on, I'm not very disciplined about it though. After seeing your video I'm going to try it again, it may not have been your usual video but that doesn't matter to me, information is always good.
Hi Charlotte 😁 glad you like this video. I've realized in my life that it's what I do MOST of the time that counts, not ALL of the time. I still allow myself a cheat meal on Saturdays. 😂
I recently tried a substitute of savory oatmeal (make with chicken bouillon, garlic powder, pepper & water) in place of rice when I made an orange chicken recipe. It was pretty good and my blood sugar didn’t spike, which happens sometimes with rice. I love rice but think I’ll try this again with other recipes. Thanks for your inspiration to try foods a different way.
Hi Catherine 😁 Savory oats have been on my bucket list for some time now. Not sure why a part of me is resisting 😂 and you're welcome. I'm glad that my videos inspire you. 🥰
The study of Erythritol you stated in your video was debunked. They used an extremely small participant group--so small it was laughable. That said, most Keto diet users are switching to Allulose as their diet sweetener of choice. In the stirfry meal you made, you mentioned that if you added more vegetables, your carb count would be above the standard. You used a very good vegetable of choice since broccoli is very low glycemic, but, I would forgo the rice, add more of the broccoli and get your carbs through the vegetables or via another meal. The rice, white or brown, hardly offers many nutritional benefits where you do get nutrition through the vegetable and protein. Great video and it was so nice to see you switch things up a bit! Glad to hear your diet is making you feel better.
The findings of a major erythritol study by the Cleveland Clinic has just been released. The study involved 4,000 participants. While of course further studies must be conducted, and there was association, rather than causation, between erythritol and heart attack, stroke or death, I’m not sure where you found that this new evidence is being disputed. I would appreciate it if you can point me to the source. Thanks much.
@@8lovelynites Sure thing! Please start at the 2:00 min. mark on this video here, ruclips.net/video/yncn0o-OhAU/видео.html. Also, as you state, there is an "association", not a "causation", thereby making me question their finding entirely.
Hi R.K 😁 Glad you like this video. Which study did you think I was referring to? What's interesting about it is that they said they were originally not even looking at erythritol but that it was discovered via an association thereby inspiring the study. When I look further I see more negative studies. You might be interested in the association with increased adiposity in young adults 😂 This is similar to the finding with other artificial sweeteners. I think it's just better to go natural. Wish they would stop putting this stuff in our food.
Really enjoyed this video, Michelle ("Look . . . a squirrel! 🤣) So glad you are finding lower refined carb consumption to be beneficial and more energizing. I have also experienced higher level of energy by decreasing the amount of starches and refined grains. The Tillamook X-sharp is one of my favorites too; a little adds so much flavor to meals. Take good care. 🤗
Hi Jean 😁 I'm so glad you like this video. The energy is so much better, if I continue to eat low enough carbs maybe I can eventually get out 2 videos per week 😂
This is perfect timing for me, as I had gone off Keto almost 2 weeks ago, and got back into TOO many carbs. I'm going back on a low carb eating plan, so the motivation your video brings is essential. THANK YOU! 😄
YAY! 😁 I'm so glad to provide you with some inspiration. For me the cravings start when I eat too many carbs. Glad this is helpful. Thanks for letting me know!
Hmmm, this appeals to me in so many ways. Not much cooking, probable same cost weekly, carbs have already been figured and looks tasty. Thanks so much for this content!
Not necessarily doing low carb but I enjoy the ideas that you give me. I recently made a tofu avocado scramble for breakfast that was so delicious. I would never have even entertained the idea before joining your channel. 😋
Love the video as always. I am doing high protein, low carb off and on. I lost 50 lbs with it a couple years ago before I had to take long term steroids. It's been a struggle. I hope you will continue doing some holiday videos to. I fell asleep and your videos played on a loop. (Your voice is so relaxing and calming to me). I woke up to the Thanksgiving video and thoroughly enjoyed watching that again. So I hope you will do some of those! Ok thanks. Have a great week!
Hi Francine 😁 I know it's tough when you have health issues on top of everything else. A fifty pound weight loss is impressive. My energy is so much better eating this way. I'm glad my voice is soothing to you. 🥰 I love to fall asleep to someone talking on a video. I do it almost every night. 😴 It helps me go to sleep faster and shut my mind down. Yes more holiday videos to come! Thank you.
Thank you! I’ve been low carb (not Keto) since Oct and have almost gotten out of diabetic range. That was my goal. I can’t wait to try your breakfast tacos. I love making protein puddings for dinner (1protein shake) and 2-3 Tbsp SF Instant Pudding. Feels like you’re being bad but you aren’t.
Oh my gosh that is AWESOME! Good job 👍 This is so inspiring. I agree..the protein shake feels like a daily treat. Love the idea of adding the pudding in. The shakes are so versatile. Do you feel like your energy has improved?
@@ArdentMichelle yes I do. If I eat potatoes in any shape I can hardly stay awake. I get my carbs from other sources like dairy or fresh fruits. It really is a life changing way of eating ❤️
Thank you so much for demystifying cauliflower crust pizza! I do get to an Aldi in New York once in a while and I’ve been curious about these. Now I’m feeling brave enough to buy one next trip!😂
Hi Susan 😁 Thanks for your support friend. 🥰 I appreciate you! You help make my videos possible. 👩🍳 My friend said that she ate a delicious cauliflower pizza from Albertsons but I'm not sure what brand it was. Her husband eats gluten free but she said it was so good that she would eat it on a regular basis. I need to find out the brand. I feel like even though I don't need to be gluten free, it would probably be a good idea to moderate that as well 😂😂
@@ArdentMichelle yes, we have a Costco about an hour away, with a Trader Joe’s nearby. Sam’s Club is closer to 90 minutes over in Plattsburgh New York, and they also have an Aldi. Our local grocery store has awful produce, I have found fuzzy blue green oranges there along with rotten potatoes more times than I can count. I just recall Albertsons as having good sales, Safeway not so much.
I am also in love with squirrels!!! Do not forget to try the sourdough at Stater Brothers.... in the aisle just $2.99. It is the same shape and size as the one you showed , but so much cheaper. Another great video ❤
Wow! I learned so much in this video. I will be making some dietary changes soon, minus the tofu, which I don't eat for health reasons. Thanks for the info.
Great ideas! I have thought about doing low carb or lower carb, mostly to curb cravings. Might have to actually give it a go. Thanks for the awesome recipes and beautiful presentation.
I loved this video! It is exactly how I eat, lower carb vegetarian...I have rarely seen this combination on RUclips it's great that you shared your eating plan 😊
Michele! This video is great! As someone who likes to eat meatless but is allergic to eggs, extra firm tofu crumbled to resemble scrambled egg whites, with Mrs dash southwest seasoning, is a great sub in breakfast tacos
You're welcome 😁 I'm hoping to do lots more of these. Thanks for popping in to say hi to me. This is my favorite part of the week- being able to converse with my viewers. 🥰
I hear diabetic i immediately like and save especially with the price point. Thanks. Might not learn anything but only 3 minutes in... this is the content i need 😅... now back to the video!
I bought the Dash mini waffle maker to make my own low carb waffle shaped "buns" for burgers. I make them using almond flour, egg and cheddar and they taste great with any type of burger patty and for sandwiches too. The Dash mini is cheap to buy and cooks them quickly.
Hi Christine 😁 I love this! That sounds amazing. Would you mind sharing your recipe? I've been pondering the idea of getting a little waffle maker to have some fun with.
@@ArdentMichelle I use 1 egg approx 2tbsp almond flour, spices like italian spice and enough shredded cheese to make 2 waffles (about 1/3 cup i'm guessing?). This makes 2 for a bun.
I would caution against eliminating vegetables because they would take you over your carb limit. Vegetables have fiber, which is absolutely necessary for health and animal based proteins have zero fiber. The more fiber, the fewer net carbs and the better your gut health. (And it helps with going poo) 😉 But thanks for another great video!
Your cocoa oats look so much like the chocolate oatmeal (treats/cookies) my mother fixed as a treat in my childhood. I'm certain they were extremely unhealthy, but they represent my mother's love... to me. 🍫 🍪 💞 🥰 🫠
We definitely associate food memories with love. Then it's natural to want to eat those things when you're feeling distress. Guess that's why they call it comfort food 😂
did your mom's cookies have peanut butter too? no bake cookies with cocoa powder and peanut butter had tons of sugar and some butter I think too...maybe add a bit of peanut butter to the chocolate oatmeal...thank you both for the great idea
🌷🌱🌷 Hi, Michelle! Low carb’s not for me, but I always love watching all your videos! I do like protein shakes, dates and cute animals though. :) I loved seeing the squirrel! See you next week! 🌷🌱🌷
Love this! I have been cutting back on my carbs, just started last week so I am so glad you are doing this series. I love your recipes girl! Does that cacao taste like cocoa? I want to try that. 😊❤
@@ArdentMichelle Great, adding it to my Amazon list! lol my question should have been "does it taste like chocolate". It's been years since I've had cocoa.
Great video, as always. I was hoping that you could develop a few recipes for a low protein low salt diet? I know it's not the usual but some conditions require lower protein! Thank you Michelle.
As a Filipino rice was really hard to give up while I lose weight. I used to think just the thought of cauliflower rice as unappetizing then my health demanded I stop eating rice and surprisingly found out microwaveable cauliflower rice is actually a decent rice substitute. A serving is only 20 calories for 3/4 cup v 160 calories for white rice. Jasmine rice microwaves awesome the next day right from the fridge. I also struggle with finding low carb diets that are also low in sodium. It seems that many recipes that are low, carb are high in sodium and vice versa.
Understood. I too love rice. Not sure if I included it in this video or another one, but have you tried the low carb Miracle noodles? They are so good and there are so many meals you can make with them.
@@ArdentMichelle Wow! Never heard of Miracle Noodles and just looked it up and saw Kroger and Walmart sells it! Thanks a lot! The Filipino in me is ecstatic! 🙏🏼
I live in the middle of the country, so H- mart is not in my cards. However it is good to know that Aldi is carrying a cauliflower crust pizza. I like cauliflower, it's the tofu of vegetables. :-) you did a good job with this video.
Highly recommend the Trader Joe's sourdough! Under $4, freezes well, and has a clean ingredients list. They are longer slices, but just cut or break a slice in half and it fits in the toaster just fine :)
That is a good idea to add cacao to oatmeal, I will have to try that...I also wonder what cacao with a little cinnamon and unsweetened applesauce added to the oatmeal would taste like?
I loved this video! I especially like the ending with the squirrel😍. I mentioned you making low-carb, keto etc. in another comment and you responded that you lose subscribers and it might not be because of the Content because I believe I was unsubscribed from you and the bell notification still will not work for me and I think it’s some kind of RUclips glitch so maybe you just want to remind people to make sure that they are still subscribed because you’re not the first channel that this is happened to with me🤔 I’m so sorry and sad and that I miss so many videos of yours but I get to catch up now and I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers because your channel is awesome so it might just be a RUclips glitch.
Thanks so much 😁 I appreciate this comment. I'll mention this in a video. That's so weird that you can't turn on notifications. I'm trying to release now on Tuesdays and Sundays. RUclips is really pushing us to do shorts, so I may start doing those on Tuesdays, as much as I don't want to 😞
Walmart sells Miracle Noodles that are very low carb. I believe they are in the gluten free section or the Asian food section. Plus Palmini hearts of palm. These are around $3.98 for a 12-14 oz can or bag of noodles. It a little high, but a better low carb option. You can use zucchini noodles as a form of noodle. By adding fiber you reduce your total carb.
@@ArdentMichelle If you try the miracle noodles they taste terrible unless you rinse well then boil for 3 mins then dry roast until they make a squeaky noise. After that they are good to go and take on the flavour of what you are cooking better too.
@@ArdentMichelle Just a frying pan on stove with no oil (so not really roasting per se-just drying some of moisture). You'll hear an interesting light squeaking sound when they are done-takes only a few mins to do -move them around on the dry pan over medium heat). By the way I really love your channel and have watched it for a very long time but have had to eat low carb for sometime so I've always modified your recipes to suit my low carb needs. You are by far the most creative cook for low cost meals I know and I do love international cuisine. So thank you for your channel. It inspires me to try new things! I find if you are craving pasta the miracle noodles cooked this way then tossed with a hearty bolognaise sauce does the trick!
Hi Diana 😁 You can easily customize this if you want to cut out the eggs and limit the cheese to lower the fat. I was just looking over this from the ADA about eating a heart healthy diet. Seems like we mostly have it covered if we skip the eggs-although some people say 1 egg per day is ok. 🤷♀️ I don't know. I'll definitely do more of these types of videos in the future. diabetes.org/healthy-living/recipes-nutrition/meal-planning/go-heart-healthy
thank you for the ideas! I've done tortillas and eggs a lot but for some reason it always looks better when someone else does it! have you tried riced cauliflower? it's pricey in the stores but I think you basically just grate the cauliflower like you do cheese and use in place of rice. I also buy frozen diced onion and use a little in my scrambled eggs for flavor - I don't htink it's a lot of carbs but not sure. with the protein powder- I've never tried powder shakes other than the weight watchers (which is sweetened and expensive) and one a friend was selling a while back but had artificial sweetener in it. canyou taste this powder or does the fruit take care of that?
Hi Susanna 😁 You're welcome. To me, the taste of the protein powder just blends in with the fruit. I love the flavor with the 1/2 frozen banana and sometimes some frozen berries. I also sometimes put in a handful of this other frozen fruit mix Samsclub has with frozen peaches and pineapple. I enjoy my shakes best with a mild flavor, then eaten alongside 2 whole dates.
I may have missed it, but did you subtract the fiber for total net carbs? Just curious. Great video! I love the schar GF pizza crusts but they’re likely not low carb.
We eat very similarly. With rice I have been doing half and half with riced cauliflower. I think blends well together and I guess I’m tricking my eyes into thinking I have larger portion of rice. It works for me🤷♀️😆
Hi Stace 😁 I LOVE this idea and it's perfect timing because I've been thinking I need to cut down a little more on the rice. This is an awesome tip. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Michelle would you please consider a video on appetizing foods safe for Diabetics i deal with DM2 and its hard to find diabetic friendly meals that don't taste like cardboard or worst lol and sugar free stuff isn't cheap so even low sugar recipes be nice .just a suggestion please..oh ok I didn't realize this video also encompasses my ???
Haha please excuse my typos I have a phone with a mind of it's own there's no such thing as adorable foods lol I didn't loose my mind my stupid auto correct kicked in when I was needing the word appetizing since a lot of foods for us taste like corrugated cardboard 😂
Great video as always Michelle 🥰😍 My only input would be for everyone to watch the amount of soy they eat (tofu, a lot of protein shakes, etc) because it’s known to be a “hormone disrupter”. For both men & women. I found this out the hard way. It’s also highly processed and if it’s not organic it’s most likely GMO. 😵💫😩
Thanks for sharing this. 😁 I think too much of anything is bad. The protein I use is pea protein but they do have a lot of soy proteins for shakes out there. You make some good points.
Freezing then toasting bread also lowers the glycemic response (but it has to be both in that order. Just freezing bread or just toasting bread did nothing). “Serious keto” explains the science and shows the proof (he used his own body as a Guinea pig 😂) on his channel
on plant based dads channel he also explained that all starches (potatoes, rice, etc) if cooked then cooled then reheated is better overall, I then googled it to see it was true
How do you store your avocados after you slice into them? I’m the only one in my household that likes avocados, which is awesome sometimes unless I’m cutting into one of the larger ones😂
Curious to know and I will look up. How does the Canadian Diabetes Association differ from the American Diabetes Assoc? Are they in line with one another?
I was waiting for this question. 😂 I should have explained in the video. The ADA hasn't said anything about sourdough bread- at least that I could find on their website. The information is available in the academic literature that sourdough has a lower glycemic index though.
Hi Katherine 😁 Not liking their site at the moment. I put a link for two references for the dates in the description area. Here is one study www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8281151/ The nice thing about this is that it's a meta analysis that looked at 10 studies. I actually first learned about this from one of my diabetic viewers. She said that the dates have very little impact on her blood sugar. If I was diabetic I think I would start with one and test to be sure, but I found lots of other articles recommending that people with diabetes can eat dates. I'm almost positive I read this on the ADA too, but their search engine is horrible.
Hi Michelle: The ADA website mentions something about 2 tablespoons of dried fruit a day (that measurement seems only useful for raisins, currants and dried cranberries LOL.) Thank you for pointing me to the meta analysis report. I think it is very interesting and hope that further research is done. My (slight) concern about the studies is that the participants consumed types of dates not typically available in the U.S. I’m hoping that that future studies focus on the dates popular in the U.S., such as medjool. In the meantime, enjoying one date filled with peanut butter sounds like a drastically healthier alternative to a candy bar!
@@8lovelynites Yeah that's not helpful. Wondering if I transposed this info 😂I certainly hope not. I found a study on Pubmed with medjool dates but it has a very small size of 10. I need to copy and paste all my info when I do these videos. I don't understand why it's commonly reported that dates help for blood sugar control though. I mean I know they have fiber but I think it's the phenols and some other stuff. Too complex for me. I watched the most interesting video last night. It's making me rethink some things. It was called "THE 3 daily hacks to lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes." It was an interview with a doctor that was discussing glucose storage. It was very informative- although now I want to verify with some additional reading. I saw date syrup being sold at ALDI yesterday labeled as low glycemic. 😂 I'll probably show a shot of it in my next video. Ok I have to get to work on my Easter Video. Have a great day! 😁
I really like the recipes but these are not low carb meals. Regular beans, jam, tortillas, bread, rice are not low carb. Maybe you mean lower gi? But rice and jam and bread are extremely high gi too so I’m not sure. I would describe these recipes as moderate carb or higher. As someone who must do low carb for medical reasons I think it’s important that people understand the difference. Having said that, I really enjoyed the video and am a big fan of your channel
Hi Sandy 😁 I used the academic definition of low carb as less than 130 grams of carbohydrate per day and mentioned that in the beginning so that those on a very low carb or keto diet would know. I am not diabetic or eating keto, but many of my diabetic viewers eat rice and beans and sourdough bread. The ADA mentions beans as a super food for diabetics and features tortillas, rice, and other breads in their recipes on their food hub. I'm assuming that my viewers under medical care have been advised on how many carbs they can eat and therefore would be able to make those decisions for themselves. I know it's different for everyone and no one size fits all. Thank you for being a fan of my channel 🥰 I appreciate your feedback.

I'm on a low-carb eating plan, and the recipe ideas/options are going into my repertoire. Thank you!
Yay! So glad you found this video useful. 😁 Thanks for letting me know!
you never cease to amaze me, how you come up with such simple creative recipes
Thank you 😊
awesome video!!!!! i just love the ending with the squirrel thank you!!!!!
You're welcome 😁 I'm so glad you like this video, and my neighborhood squirrel 🐿 Thanks for letting me know.
Thank you for this! I was diagnosed with diabetes a few months ago, and I'm always looking for more low-carb ideas that are not expensive!
You're welcome 😁 Glad this video is helpful.
Love the video as always. I am doing high protein, low carb off and on. I lost 50 lbs with it a couple years ago before I had to take long term steroids. It's been a struggle. I hope you will continue doing some holiday videos to. I fell asleep and your videos played on a loop. (Your voice is so relaxing and calming to me). I woke up to the Thanksgiving video and thoroughly enjoyed watching that again. So I hope you will do some of those! Ok thanks. Have a great week!
Hi Francine 😁 I know it's tough when you have health issues on top of everything else. A fifty pound weight loss is impressive. My energy is so much better eating this way. I'm glad my voice is soothing to you. 🥰 I love to fall asleep to someone talking on a video. I do it almost every night. 😴 It helps me go to sleep faster and shut my mind down. Yes more holiday videos to come! Thank you.
Thank you! I’ve been low carb (not Keto) since Oct and have almost gotten out of diabetic range. That was my goal. I can’t wait to try your breakfast tacos. I love making protein puddings for dinner (1protein shake) and 2-3 Tbsp SF Instant Pudding. Feels like you’re being bad but you aren’t.
Oh my gosh that is AWESOME! Good job 👍 This is so inspiring. I agree..the protein shake feels like a daily treat. Love the idea of adding the pudding in. The shakes are so versatile. Do you feel like your energy has improved?
@@ArdentMichelle yes I do. If I eat potatoes in any shape I can hardly stay awake. I get my carbs from other sources like dairy or fresh fruits. It really is a life changing way of eating ❤️
Thank you so much for demystifying cauliflower crust pizza! I do get to an Aldi in New York once in a while and I’ve been curious about these. Now I’m feeling brave enough to buy one next trip!😂
Hi Susan 😁 Thanks for your support friend. 🥰 I appreciate you! You help make my videos possible. 👩🍳
My friend said that she ate a delicious cauliflower pizza from Albertsons but I'm not sure what brand it was. Her husband eats gluten free but she said it was so good that she would eat it on a regular basis. I need to find out the brand. I feel like even though I don't need to be gluten free, it would probably be a good idea to moderate that as well 😂😂
@@ArdentMichelle oh how I miss Albertsons and Winco!
@@susans9491 I bet. I'm not sure I would miss Albertsons too much but I would hate to lose Winco.
@@susans9491 and you have Costco but not Samsclub is that right?
@@ArdentMichelle yes, we have a Costco about an hour away, with a Trader Joe’s nearby. Sam’s Club is closer to 90 minutes over in Plattsburgh New York, and they also have an Aldi. Our local grocery store has awful produce, I have found fuzzy blue green oranges there along with rotten potatoes more times than I can count. I just recall Albertsons as having good sales, Safeway not so much.
New to your channel....already hooked. Thank you so much for the great content.
Hi Lisa 😁 Yay! So glad you are enjoying my content. Welcome. I'm glad you're here 😁👩🍳
Flannel drip means that it strains out the grounds even better than your regular old paper coffee filter.
In my mind I picture it being strained through a flannel shirt 😂
Ty! Low carb and gluten free is so helpful. I’m low carb and my son is allergic to gluten
Hi Bonnie 😁 you're welcome. More low carb /gluten free recipes to come.
Thank you for the low carb ideas
You're welcome 😁 More to come!
Your videos are so informative, relaxing and helpful to get easy and great ideas.Ive never been disappointed
Thanks Karena 😁 I'm so glad you like my content. 🥰 Thanks for letting me know.
I love these ideas! This was great and sooo informative! Thank you for doing this!
You're welcome 😁 I'm so glad it was helpful. 🥰 Thanks for letting me know!
I am also in love with squirrels!!!
Do not forget to try the sourdough at Stater Brothers.... in the aisle just $2.99. It is the same shape and size as the one you showed , but so much cheaper.
Another great video ❤
I think I looked for it the first time you told me about that bread but I couldn't find any for that price. Wondering if it's more in my area. 🤔
@@ArdentMichelle I will send it to you ❤
@@empresswb641 awe that's so sweet but you don't have to do that. 🥰 It's too expensive to ship things these days.
Your videos are a great resource for unique recipes and ideas! Thank you for taking the time to create such a wonderful resource!!
Thank you so much! 😁
Wow! I learned so much in this video. I will be making some dietary changes soon, minus the tofu, which I don't eat for health reasons. Thanks for the info.
I'm so glad this video was helpful. 😁 Thanks for letting me know.
More low-ish carb videos please! Also I must be the only one that didn’t know about the Aldi cauliflower pizza, can’t wait to try
I'm including low carb meals in with my regular videos.
Greens (dandelion, beet tops) are ALWAYS a good option for low carb
Great tip 👍
Sometimes my boys don't realize what is really yummy. LOL
Thank you for including such Mexican and Hispanic influences in your cooking! Yummy!
You're welcome 😁 Yeah I shouldn't have said that it was cauliflower pizza, just pizza 😂
Great ideas! I have thought about doing low carb or lower carb, mostly to curb cravings. Might have to actually give it a go. Thanks for the awesome recipes and beautiful presentation.
Thanks Stephanie 😁 You'r welcome. Glad you enjoyed this video. I've had zero cravings eating this way and lot's of energy.
I loved this video! It is exactly how I eat, lower carb vegetarian...I have rarely seen this combination on RUclips it's great that you shared your eating plan 😊
Glad you liked it!! 😁
Thank you so much! As a momma that has to eat low carb for my health this is very helpful thank you (could you do more of these?)
Hi Karla 😁 This weeks video featured low carb products and recipes in the TRADER JOES HAUL & MONEY SAVING TIPS.
Another great video about healthier food on a budget. Thank you so much!
Glad you liked it!! 😁
Michele! This video is great!
As someone who likes to eat meatless but is allergic to eggs, extra firm tofu crumbled to resemble scrambled egg whites, with Mrs dash southwest seasoning, is a great sub in breakfast tacos
Hi Rachel 😁 Glad you like this video. Love tofu as an egg substitute. Thanks for mentioning this.
Thank you for the low carb. It's how i eat.I watch but don't comment much, but i am here lol.😘thank you 🙏 💖
You're welcome 😁 I'm hoping to do lots more of these. Thanks for popping in to say hi to me. This is my favorite part of the week- being able to converse with my viewers. 🥰
@@ArdentMichelle Thank you, Always enjoy watching 💖🤗💖
Stir fry looks amazing!
I hear diabetic i immediately like and save especially with the price point. Thanks. Might not learn anything but only 3 minutes in... this is the content i need 😅... now back to the video!
Hi CH 😁 My menu may not be right for you, but I'll have lots more low carb recipes in the future. 👩🍳 Thanks for watching!
@@ArdentMichelle actually your carb goal per meal and daily amount aligns with mine. So all good! I can't wait for more videos!
@@CH-bi8tl Yay! 😁
Thank you. For sharing your low carb video. I got some great ideas for myself and family
Glad it was helpful! 😁
I bought the Dash mini waffle maker to make my own low carb waffle shaped "buns" for burgers. I make them using almond flour, egg and cheddar and they taste great with any type of burger patty and for sandwiches too. The Dash mini is cheap to buy and cooks them quickly.
Hi Christine 😁 I love this! That sounds amazing. Would you mind sharing your recipe? I've been pondering the idea of getting a little waffle maker to have some fun with.
@@ArdentMichelle I use 1 egg approx 2tbsp almond flour, spices like italian spice and enough shredded cheese to make 2 waffles (about 1/3 cup i'm guessing?). This makes 2 for a bun.
@@christinejunk8184 Thanks for sharing this! I'm clipping this comment and saving to my file to try. 👩🍳 I appreciate this! 🥰
I would caution against eliminating vegetables because they would take you over your carb limit. Vegetables have fiber, which is absolutely necessary for health and animal based proteins have zero fiber. The more fiber, the fewer net carbs and the better your gut health. (And it helps with going poo) 😉 But thanks for another great video!
Thanks for this input 😁 and you're welcome 🥰
Thank you for another great video and it not being a fad diet plan
You're welcome 😁 Glad you like this.
always helpful I dont know what i would do without you ! Thank you so much!
Yay! 😁 Comments like this make me so happy because I was hoping this would be helpful. Plus as an avid reader I really love your name. 😂
Great idea about adding cacao powder to oatmeal.
Hi there
how's your day going today my friend
am marco what's your name?
Thank you 😁 There's also something about the combination of cacao powder with the berries that is really tasty.
@@ArdentMichelle I will have to try it out
Your cocoa oats look so much like the chocolate oatmeal (treats/cookies) my mother fixed as a treat in my childhood.
I'm certain they were extremely unhealthy, but they represent my mother's love... to me. 🍫 🍪 💞 🥰 🫠
We definitely associate food memories with love. Then it's natural to want to eat those things when you're feeling distress. Guess that's why they call it comfort food 😂
did your mom's cookies have peanut butter too? no bake cookies with cocoa powder and peanut butter had tons of sugar and some butter I think too...maybe add a bit of peanut butter to the chocolate oatmeal...thank you both for the great idea
@igneousidol oh yes ....so bad for us BUT so so delicious 😋 😉😊
🌷🌱🌷 Hi, Michelle! Low carb’s not for me, but I always love watching all your videos! I do like protein shakes, dates and cute animals though. :) I loved seeing the squirrel! See you next week! 🌷🌱🌷
Hi Debbie 😁 Thanks for watching my video anyway. Glad you like my cute neighborhood squirrel 😂🐿 Have a great week. See you Sunday!
Love this! I have been cutting back on my carbs, just started last week so I am so glad you are doing this series. I love your recipes girl! Does that cacao taste like cocoa? I want to try that. 😊❤
It's been awhile since I've tasted cocoa but yes I believe it tastes the same. Cacao is just the raw unprocessed version of cocoa.
@@ArdentMichelle Great, adding it to my Amazon list! lol my question should have been "does it taste like chocolate". It's been years since I've had cocoa.
@@vinnydabarber 😂
Great video, as always. I was hoping that you could develop a few recipes for a low protein low salt diet? I know it's not the usual but some conditions require lower protein! Thank you Michelle.
Thanks so much. 😁 Can you quantify the amount of protein?
As a Filipino rice was really hard to give up while I lose weight. I used to think just the thought of cauliflower rice as unappetizing then my health demanded I stop eating rice and surprisingly found out microwaveable cauliflower rice is actually a decent rice substitute. A serving is only 20 calories for 3/4 cup v 160 calories for white rice. Jasmine rice microwaves awesome the next day right from the fridge.
I also struggle with finding low carb diets that are also low in sodium. It seems that many recipes that are low, carb are high in sodium and vice versa.
Understood. I too love rice. Not sure if I included it in this video or another one, but have you tried the low carb Miracle noodles? They are so good and there are so many meals you can make with them.
@@ArdentMichelle Wow! Never heard of Miracle Noodles and just looked it up and saw Kroger and Walmart sells it! Thanks a lot! The Filipino in me is ecstatic! 🙏🏼
I live in the middle of the country, so H- mart is not in my cards. However it is good to know that Aldi is carrying a cauliflower crust pizza. I like cauliflower, it's the tofu of vegetables. :-) you did a good job with this video.
Haha 😂 so true....and thanks so much. I'm glad you like this video.
Highly recommend the Trader Joe's sourdough! Under $4, freezes well, and has a clean ingredients list. They are longer slices, but just cut or break a slice in half and it fits in the toaster just fine :)
I've had it and I agree...it's very good 👍
That is a good idea to add cacao to oatmeal, I will have to try that...I also wonder what cacao with a little cinnamon and unsweetened applesauce added to the oatmeal would taste like?
Thank you 😁 that would probably be delicious!
Loved this!
Yay! 😁 Thanks so much for letting me know you like this video 🥰
I loved this video! I especially like the ending with the squirrel😍. I mentioned you making low-carb, keto etc. in another comment and you responded that you lose subscribers and it might not be because of the Content because I believe I was unsubscribed from you and the bell notification still will not work for me and I think it’s some kind of RUclips glitch so maybe you just want to remind people to make sure that they are still subscribed because you’re not the first channel that this is happened to with me🤔
I’m so sorry and sad and that I miss so many videos of yours but I get to catch up now and I can’t believe you don’t have more subscribers because your channel is awesome so it might just be a RUclips glitch.
Thanks so much 😁 I appreciate this comment. I'll mention this in a video.
That's so weird that you can't turn on notifications. I'm trying to release now on Tuesdays and Sundays. RUclips is really pushing us to do shorts, so I may start doing those on Tuesdays, as much as I don't want to 😞
Good blessings 😊❤😊 awesome thanks
Good morning 😁 You're welcome. 🥰
I’ve regularly found the SanLuis sourdough at Grocery Outlet. Usually $3.79. FYI. 👏👏😻
Hi Chris 😁 Thanks for letting me know. That's a great deal.
I buy a 2 pack of the round loaves at Samsclub for $6.57 which is a good deal, but not the longer more narrow loaf.
Walmart sells Miracle Noodles that are very low carb. I believe they are in the gluten free section or the Asian food section. Plus Palmini hearts of palm. These are around $3.98 for a 12-14 oz can or bag of noodles. It a little high, but a better low carb option.
You can use zucchini noodles as a form of noodle. By adding fiber you reduce your total carb.
Hi Sheila 😁 Thanks for these great tips 👍
Definitely trying the Miracle Noodles and Palmini angel hair. 👩🍳 This is so helpful. Thank you so much!
@@ArdentMichelle If you try the miracle noodles they taste terrible unless you rinse well then boil for 3 mins then dry roast until they make a squeaky noise. After that they are good to go and take on the flavour of what you are cooking better too.
@@christinejunk8184 Impeccable timing on this tip. What are you doing to dry roast the noodles? Like in the toaster oven?
@@ArdentMichelle Just a frying pan on stove with no oil (so not really roasting per se-just drying some of moisture). You'll hear an interesting light squeaking sound when they are done-takes only a few mins to do -move them around on the dry pan over medium heat). By the way I really love your channel and have watched it for a very long time but have had to eat low carb for sometime so I've always modified your recipes to suit my low carb needs. You are by far the most creative cook for low cost meals I know and I do love international cuisine. So thank you for your channel. It inspires me to try new things! I find if you are craving pasta the miracle noodles cooked this way then tossed with a hearty bolognaise sauce does the trick!
Thank you. I was waiting for a low carb video. How about a low fat for people with high cholesterol. I’m am pre-diabetic and high cholesterol.😢
Hi Diana 😁 You can easily customize this if you want to cut out the eggs and limit the cheese to lower the fat. I was just looking over this from the ADA about eating a heart healthy diet. Seems like we mostly have it covered if we skip the eggs-although some people say 1 egg per day is ok. 🤷♀️ I don't know. I'll definitely do more of these types of videos in the future.
diabetes.org/healthy-living/recipes-nutrition/meal-planning/go-heart-healthy
thank you for the ideas! I've done tortillas and eggs a lot but for some reason it always looks better when someone else does it! have you tried riced cauliflower? it's pricey in the stores but I think you basically just grate the cauliflower like you do cheese and use in place of rice. I also buy frozen diced onion and use a little in my scrambled eggs for flavor - I don't htink it's a lot of carbs but not sure. with the protein powder- I've never tried powder shakes other than the weight watchers (which is sweetened and expensive) and one a friend was selling a while back but had artificial sweetener in it. canyou taste this powder or does the fruit take care of that?
Hi Susanna 😁 You're welcome. To me, the taste of the protein powder just blends in with the fruit. I love the flavor with the 1/2 frozen banana and sometimes some frozen berries. I also sometimes put in a handful of this other frozen fruit mix Samsclub has with frozen peaches and pineapple. I enjoy my shakes best with a mild flavor, then eaten alongside 2 whole dates.
Thanks. I very much enjoyed your video.
Glad you like this video. Thanks for letting me know 🥰
Loved this video❤❤!!!
Yay! 😁 I'm so glad you like this video. Thanks for letting me know 🥰
I may have missed it, but did you subtract the fiber for total net carbs? Just curious. Great video! I love the schar GF pizza crusts but they’re likely not low carb.
Hello 😁 I didn't discuss it but I did figure net carbs. Thanks for the tip on the Schar pizza crusts.
We eat very similarly. With rice I have been doing half and half with riced cauliflower. I think blends well together and I guess I’m tricking my eyes into thinking I have larger portion of rice. It works for me🤷♀️😆
Hi Stace 😁 I LOVE this idea and it's perfect timing because I've been thinking I need to cut down a little more on the rice. This is an awesome tip. Thanks for sharing!
Hi Michelle would you please consider a video on appetizing foods safe for Diabetics i deal with DM2 and its hard to find diabetic friendly meals that don't taste like cardboard or worst lol and sugar free stuff isn't cheap so even low sugar recipes be nice .just a suggestion please..oh ok I didn't realize this video also encompasses my ???
working on something to help my diabetics. More info soon. 😁
Haha please excuse my typos I have a phone with a mind of it's own there's no such thing as adorable foods lol I didn't loose my mind my stupid auto correct kicked in when I was needing the word appetizing since a lot of foods for us taste like corrugated cardboard 😂
Great video as always Michelle 🥰😍 My only input would be for everyone to watch the amount of soy they eat (tofu, a lot of protein shakes, etc) because it’s known to be a “hormone disrupter”. For both men & women. I found this out the hard way. It’s also highly processed and if it’s not organic it’s most likely GMO. 😵💫😩
Thanks for sharing this. 😁 I think too much of anything is bad. The protein I use is pea protein but they do have a lot of soy proteins for shakes out there. You make some good points.
Wow! Awesome video, AM! :) Dawn @ Rich & Dawn in MN :)
Thanks Dawn 😁 Have a great week.
Wonderful! Thanks so much!
You're very welcome! 😁
Great video!

Dates have lots of fiber.
Thanks for pointing that out.👍 I forgot to mention that.
Freezing then toasting bread also lowers the glycemic response (but it has to be both in that order. Just freezing bread or just toasting bread did nothing). “Serious keto” explains the science and shows the proof (he used his own body as a Guinea pig 😂) on his channel
very interesting 🤔
on plant based dads channel he also explained that all starches (potatoes, rice, etc) if cooked then cooled then reheated is better overall, I then googled it to see it was true
How do you store your avocados after you slice into them? I’m the only one in my household that likes avocados, which is awesome sometimes unless I’m cutting into one of the larger ones😂
I cover the other portion with plastic wrap. I've never had a problem with them browning. But if I did, I would just take that part off.
Try celery and salsa, it’s delicious too.
I will try it 👍 Two of my favorite things together!
Curious to know and I will look up. How does the Canadian Diabetes Association differ from the American Diabetes Assoc? Are they in line with one another?
I was waiting for this question. 😂 I should have explained in the video. The ADA hasn't said anything about sourdough bread- at least that I could find on their website. The information is available in the academic literature that sourdough has a lower glycemic index though.
I paid pay $14.00 for 2 lbs of cheese 25 dollars for the eggs where do you buy your food? I went to my local Walmart.
Price list is in the description area of my video. I bought those items at SamsClub.
You can also make pizza crust with chicken, mozzarella cheese, 1 egg & Italian spices. Google for recipe.
Saving this for future use. Thanks for the tip 👍
Hi! I’m looking on the ADA website and can’t find the reference to eating “two dates a day.”
Hi Katherine 😁 Not liking their site at the moment. I put a link for two references for the dates in the description area. Here is one study www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC8281151/
The nice thing about this is that it's a meta analysis that looked at 10 studies.
I actually first learned about this from one of my diabetic viewers. She said that the dates have very little impact on her blood sugar. If I was diabetic I think I would start with one and test to be sure, but I found lots of other articles recommending that people with diabetes can eat dates. I'm almost positive I read this on the ADA too, but their search engine is horrible.
Hi Michelle: The ADA website mentions something about 2 tablespoons of dried fruit a day (that measurement seems only useful for raisins, currants and dried cranberries LOL.)
Thank you for pointing me to the meta analysis report. I think it is very interesting and hope that further research is done. My (slight) concern about the studies is that the participants consumed types of dates not typically available in the U.S. I’m hoping that that future studies focus on the dates popular in the U.S., such as medjool.
In the meantime, enjoying one date filled with peanut butter sounds like a drastically healthier alternative to a candy bar!
@@8lovelynites Yeah that's not helpful. Wondering if I transposed this info 😂I certainly hope not. I found a study on Pubmed with medjool dates but it has a very small size of 10. I need to copy and paste all my info when I do these videos. I don't understand why it's commonly reported that dates help for blood sugar control though. I mean I know they have fiber but I think it's the phenols and some other stuff. Too complex for me.
I watched the most interesting video last night. It's making me rethink some things. It was called "THE 3 daily hacks to lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes." It was an interview with a doctor that was discussing glucose storage. It was very informative- although now I want to verify with some additional reading.
I saw date syrup being sold at ALDI yesterday labeled as low glycemic. 😂 I'll probably show a shot of it in my next video. Ok I have to get to work on my Easter Video. Have a great day! 😁
As a person who does not eat animal flesh, I love these ideas 😊
Glad you like this video. 😁
Does one send to address marked as"ardent Michelle?"
yes just Ardent Michelle and then the address.
I really like the recipes but these are not low carb meals. Regular beans, jam, tortillas, bread, rice are not low carb. Maybe you mean lower gi? But rice and jam and bread are extremely high gi too so I’m not sure. I would describe these recipes as moderate carb or higher. As someone who must do low carb for medical reasons I think it’s important that people understand the difference. Having said that, I really enjoyed the video and am a big fan of your channel
Hi Sandy 😁 I used the academic definition of low carb as less than 130 grams of carbohydrate per day and mentioned that in the beginning so that those on a very low carb or keto diet would know. I am not diabetic or eating keto, but many of my diabetic viewers eat rice and beans and sourdough bread. The ADA mentions beans as a super food for diabetics and features tortillas, rice, and other breads in their recipes on their food hub. I'm assuming that my viewers under medical care have been advised on how many carbs they can eat and therefore would be able to make those decisions for themselves. I know it's different for everyone and no one size fits all.
Thank you for being a fan of my channel 🥰 I appreciate your feedback.

Just a little nature clip for those that can't enjoy it themselves. 😁🐿
some people swear by a watermelon and feta salad--they say it is delicious...dts/usa
I love that salad too! 😋
Erithrytol gives me gastric distress 😮😢😳🫣 as a cautionary tale.
yeah...something they put in almond milk hurts my stomach now. Our bodies are telling us this stuff is not suitable for consumption 😂😂
Ditto!
