Losing weight: alternatives to carbohydrate-rich foods that make you feel full
Classic white flour pasta contains a lot of carbohydrates. Pasta made from chickpeas, lentil flour or zucchini (zoodles) is therefore an ideal alternative, as they contain significantly more protein. Instead of rice, for example, quinoa is suitable for a low-carb diet, as quinoa is also higher in protein and also contains more healthy fats and vitamin B - unlike white rice. As a snack in between, especially in the evening, it is better to eat vegetable sticks made from carrots and peppers instead of fruit wedges. They contain less sugar than fruits.
