Canned tuna is a great source of protein. It is cheaper than meat of fresh fish. That’s the good part.
But as we all know, it is not the most exciting food in the world.
Here are some suggestions on how to jazz up a humble tin of tuna into something more fun.
These suggestions are all low-carb and very simple – maximum 3 ingredients.

Moussaka is an aubergine-based dish popular in the Eastern Mediterranean.
Moussaka is made mostly of minced lamb, aubergines and cheese. So it is almost low-carb in its traditional form.
The only substitution we need to make is for the topping – traditionally, white or Béchamel sauce is used. Using ricotta cheese instead gets rid of the only high-carb ingredient!

Most people get Thai curry as a takeaway, or make one at home using a pre-made curry paste. Unfortunately, many of these commercial products include sugar and all sorts of other artificial ingredients.
Rare roast beef is by far my favourite food. It is one of the highlights of my low-carb diet. I love eating it, whether hot or cold. I always roast a huge chunk, so that there are leftovers to keep in the fridge for eating cold.
Over the years, I think I mastered the art of roasting beef (even though I do say so myself). I get compliments on my roast beef from people far less carnivorous than myself. So I thought I’d share my method with you. There are only a few basic rules – they are all very simple but vital for the result.

Traditional Western main meals tend to include a starchy side dish that is full or carbohydrates – potatoes, rice or pasta. Flour is used extensively in cooking, for sauces, batter and pastry cases. All these foods are loaded with carbs and so would have to go on a low-carb diet.
Avoiding these foods might seem impossible at first, but in reality it is just a matter of habit – you crave these foods not because your body needs them, but because you are used to them.
