No Carb Foods to Eat

Proteins

Beef, such as steak, ribs and roast, is no-carb food.

Proteins are extremely important in any weight loss or weight management diet as they help build lean muscle mass which in turn will help burn excess fat weight. Meat is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of protein and most meats tend to be not just low-carb, but no-carb. Pork loin chops, sirloin beef steak, white meat from a roasted turkey and fish like flounder or sole are just a few of the meats that can be eaten during a no-carb meal. A few other no-carb proteins are eggs, gelatin, and cheeses such as cheddar, Muenster and parmesan.

Fats

Olive oil is a heart-healthy fat that also has zero carbohydrates.

Although fat has gotten a bad rap and is typically avoided as much as possible when dieting, fats are just as important to a healthy balanced diet as proteins are. In readjusting your thinking and attitude about food, it is surprising to realize that even a 'hard-core' fat like lard can be included in a low-carb meal as it has zero carbohydrates. Most people don't utilize lard in a typical daily diet, but some other more conventional fats that are also no-carb are butter (salted and unsalted), margarine, olive oil, regular mayonnaise, and vegetable oil.

Drinks

Coffee and tea are excellent choices when looking for a no-carb drink.

Sugar is a simple carbohydrate and because most alcoholic beverages are high in sugar, they are considered high in carbs as well. However, gin, rum, vodka and whisky are all zero-carb beverages and can be enjoyed straight up, on the rocks, or with club soda, which is also a no-carb drink. For those who don't drink alcohol, tea, coffee (black, no cream or sugar) and diet cola (sweetened with aspartame or saccharin) are all drinks which won't contribute carbohydrates to your diet.
