I've been working on this list for many months. The hard part is knowing where to start and end. There are so many low carb alternatives available, whether it is genuinely good ingredient alternatives, low carb versions of your favorite recipes, commercially available low carb items (check out Amazon) or low carb mixes for food such as bread, sauces, cookies etc (LC Foods is particularly good for this!).
So here are the best low carb hacks that I think every low carber should know:
Bread - make cloud bread, quick bread or check out my list of store-bought low carb bread!
Breadcrumbs - use crushed pork rinds (like in this pork tenderloin recipe!) or a combination of almond flour and flaxseed meal like I use in my Low Carb Chicken Tenders recipe.
Burger Buns - check out my list of 18 low carb alternatives!
Chili - just ditch the beans!
Chips - make homemade tortilla chips or Dixie USA Corn Chips (which you can buy on Amazon)
Cornstarch - experiment with a little xanthan gum
