Losing Weight by Cutting Carbs

I watch what I eat in the way of carbs no special diet but just can’t handle eating to many carbs
While out shopping yesterday I bought these newly released spuds claiming to be 25% less carbs than other potato’s
We had fish for our tea ( evening meal ) last night so I cut some of the potatoes into chip size, add a little oil to coat and cook on oven tray ,they were nice and creamy inside and crunchy on the outside
I usually don’t eat potatoes at all and if I do it’s normally sweet potato
I’d seen these mentioned in a magazine recently but I haven’t seen any in the shops .
, however I hadn’t looked for them either.

As far as I know, meat, dairy & eggs are the highest-protein foods. Nuts have protein but not as much as meat. So....how would someone increase protein without eating meat?

The protein is increased by replacing the high carb foods in one's diet with high protein food. It really doesn't matter what foods are being eaten so long as they have a higher protein count and a lower carb count than what is regularly being eaten. You could replace a blueberry muffin with three slices of cheese, the calorie intake will be roughly the same for both at about 300cals each, but the cheese has a higher protein count and lower carb count than the blueberry muffin.
 

We manufactured low carb foods in our business. Atkin's Nutritionals was one of our clients. We formulated a mashed potato replacement and had many "mixes" and RTE (ready to eat) desserts and snack treats...even bagels. The company still produces these. We sold out a couple of years ago to retire. Professionally, the low carb concept is pretty easy to grasp - increase fibers to decrease net carbs. A net carb is the total carbohydrate count, minus the fibers. Protein and fiber fills a body up to satisfy hunger.

Contrary to popular belief, there are many "low carbers" that eat 80 to 100 carbs a day or so. Once a person gets to his or her desired weight goal, they will be able to add carbs back into their diet judiciously.

Vegetables like salads, broccoli and cauliflower are popular low carb mainstays as are low carb breads, buns and snacks to prevent "boredom". Whole soyfoods are high protein, so for vegans, it can be utilized.

@Kadee46 I have a question: Do you actually drink tea in the evenings? Regular tea with caffeine in it? I'd be up all night if I had caffeine after about 2:00 pm.

No I don’t @StarSong i only ever drink one cup of herbal tea a day and that’s mid morning
I drink one cup of decaf coffee a day for breakfast
I didn’t mention any caffeine drinks but thanks for asking anyway

Got it. I thought that perhaps since you referred to that meal as "tea" that you were able to consume caffeine in the evenings. I drink a single cup of half-caff each morning and move to decaf and herbal drinks for the rest of the day.

A potato with 25% less carbs still has a lot of carbs.
