Chicken Thighs, Spinach and Sweet Potato
Worried about being hungry on a low-carb diet? It’s very unlikely unless you are deliberately restricting calories. Here’s one example of a low-carb meal that is very filling.

These lovely steaks were on sale at Safeway. I air-fried them and they were so tender and delicious! I also made some parsnip fries in the air fryer. They were amazing! The parsnips are not particularly low carb, but they are just fine for someone on maintenance.
