5 Unusual Low Carb Foods That You're Probably Not Eating

One note about Kimchi : many brands are loaded with MSG .They do sell Kimchi without adding MSG so be sure to read the labels

Dr Becky I don't want loose weight what can I do

Making sauerkraut is fun I find and sure not smelly and it tastes great. The good thing you can make it as you wish.

Always great advice!

I was stationed in South Korea for 7 years, kimchi is awesome! Tastes so good and so good for you. Korean people know how to eat, that’s for sure!

Hands up who smiled to themselves as soon as she said "pesto." And then heard "pesto" again and again in a ranting tone. 😅

I was the kid who couldn't get enough sauerkraut & pickled Olives.
As an adult, discovering kimchi is pure joy....,!!!

👍🏼❤️

Just found out about your channel. Currently doing a High Protein Low Carb Lifestyle. I can't have Kimchi because it is too spicy. Also I can't have Sauerkraut because I it is Cabbage. I have IBS and cabbage give me very bad IBS attack. Don't like cabbage either. So what could I replace Sauerkraut and Kimchi with ?

Thanks!

oh! thank you! These are awesome food choices can't wait to try them It is very true that you can get tired of the same foods It is so great to be able to spice thing up with new brands Just love listening to you Dr. Becky So glad I found you!!!

As a kid I loved hot dogs and sauerkraut.

Kimchi is totally disgusting

I sometimes eat each of these items except hemp seeds. This is the 1st time I have herd of hemp seeds.

Sauerkraut is great! Love it! It's a wonderful probiotic! Sometimes I eat it as an entre. Or mix it in my sallad. I never heard of Alfredo sauce. 😅

I hv been on keto for four yrs and hvg problems digesting my foods...could I rinse the sour kraut before eating to reduce the salt?

A tasty use of hemp seeds is a tablespoon or two of them in the pit space on 1/2 an avocado. A little olive oil drizzle and it’s a tasty treat/meal.

Want to know your opinion about Matcha green tea

I just love your videos. I love sauerkraut and make my own alfredo sauce. The sauce goes well on Spaghetti squash, brussel sprouts and shrimp. Thank you for your insights. Am doing the intermittent fasting - surprisingly I haven't had any cravings and I've been doing the diet for 10 days. Only lost 8lbs but I'm excited about how well I feel!

Dr. Becky can you please list the brands that you buy and where to get them?

So...I make my own 4 out of 5 items on your list. I don't hand peel hemp seeds. I'm not crazy. But... I do sprinkle them on everything. They are like putting cheese on things. I also use cheese.

Thank you. Another excellent helpfull, well presented and informative short video.

Kimchi is a salt bomb.

Not a fan of fermented stuff ( I know - it's great for your gut biome) but the Pesto and Alfredo tips are awesome. I've hit a bit of a plateau recently, so your suggestions will help me get back on track. 👍

Oh dear I'm very fussy and don't like these...might be healthy but I'm going to have to pass..I will stick to my boring salad

Well we don't all live in temperate climates. In the tropics we have many foods that beat the usual recommeded vegetables hands down. However it took me years to find them and how to grow them. Very little advice for us guys really.

So happy to know this because I love both Kimchee and Sauerkraut!

i make my own kraut, but i'm german, lol! i eat it all the time, and you're right. when i learned that kimchi is made by asian germans, i was all in, lol! so i like that too. i never thought of alfredo sauce, cuz i like plain veg. never been a fan of cauliflower, so that might be a good choice there. seriously.

We look to Jesus to sustain us through this life and to get us over that finish line. Amen 🙏

I don’t know how to eat hemp. Can I powder hemp seeds ?

I have a sweet taste aversion. I never can eat the sweet taste. I love the cabbages ! Krauts, with sausages, smoked are not good for us but once in a great while I will have it with kraut. I love kraut with pork too. Ham hock on keto Is ok so I team it with pork hocks. I try and not indulge on that fat but it’s good to flavor the kraut

In case people are not aware most sauerkraut in the grocery store no longer has live bacteria from fermentation. If it's canned, jarred, or even in a plastic bag in a refrigerated area and it says "pasteurized" or it has any ingredient other than cabbage, salt, and water this may be the case. A health food store is a possible alternative place for this product if someone wants the live bacteria.

Do you have anything for vegetarians and also non-dairy vegetarians no fish no chicken

Me careful with hemp I react to it like I’ve gotten food poisoning!! It’s common actually for people to get that reaction 😬

Sauerkraut is rather easy and definitely not smelly. Properly made, it has a nearly sweet aroma. We make it with red and green peppers and truffle salt.

But you could make your own but any vegetables pickled could be fermented ?

I get a lot of flavor and fat from olive tapenade.

Your nutritional analysis is using the incorrect less than sign. Sorry

I learned some new things...thanks Becky

Nopales. Tender cactus. Great with eggs, low carb and just a little packs a ton of flavor.

How about a cilantro pesto 😋

Great tips for adding some variety, flavor AND nutritional value to my diet! Thanks!

Good info as always, thank you. I eat a lot of broccoli and it never occurred to me to try Alfredo sauce. I like melting bacon fat over the broccoli and salting to taste. Another big benefit of sauerkraut is that it's high in vitamin C. Kimchi can be tricky as there is a wide spectrum of quality. Like you I enjoy the very hot Kimchi. For whatever reason many lesser spiced Kimchi brands have an unpleasant aroma. Am a pesto newbie, but will definitely try it!

Sauerkraut is much much easier to make than kimchi and it is NOT SMELLY compared to kimchee or vegan farts. Most alfredo sauce in jars is full of carbs. Also, if your weight loss is stalling stop with all these treats and go back to meat and leafy greens.

Good tips. Will try them. Tks

Costco's Kirkland brand pesto is the best pesto deals around, and its real pesto made from Genovese valley basil.

I was never a fan of kraut, but this last st pat's, I got a wiff of it, and couldn't get enough. So I'll anecdotally agree with your assertion about expanded pallet due to no sugar.

I have to stay away from a lot of salt like sour kraut etc but the pesto is a great idea to flavor foods. If you are only doing a small amount that would be good. I've shunned it in the past because it's so high in calories.
