Tips for Doing a Low Carb Weight Watchers Diet
If you are looking to follow the WW plan but also eat low carb, there are some things that can help you to make meal prep and planning easier.
- Start with lean proteins: One tricky aspect of combining WW and low carb is that many of the standard items in a low carb diet are also high in WW points - nuts, nut butter, avocado, bacon, fattier cuts of meats, cheese, etc. Therefore you need to fill your diet with items that are both low carb and low points. This will mostly be lean protein. Think about building meals and snacks around items like chicken breast, lean ground turkey, lean ground chicken, chicken sausage, reduced fat cheese, low-fat or nonfat Greek yogurt, eggs, fish, seafood, canned tuna, tofu, lean beef, etc.
- Add vegetables and fruit: Once you have your lean proteins, then you can add things like vegetables and fruit. Most people on a low carb diet also try to limit higher starch vegetables and higher sugar fruits.
- Think about snacks: It can be tough to find good, WW friendly low carb snacks. Stock up on things like reduced fat string cheese, boiled eggs, turkey or salmon jerky, yogurt, cottage cheese, pickles, lean deli meat, olives, and edamame.
- Other helpful products: It can also be helpful to stock your pantry and fridge with some low carb store-bought staples. This includes low carb wraps and tortillas, frozen cauliflower rice, canned black soybeans, egg white chips, and more.
