FAQs

1. Favorite recipes feeling left out?

Nah! Swap those high-carb dudes for low-carb champs like cauliflower rice or almond flour.

2. Worried about watery meals?

Easy fix: just don’t go overboard with the liquids. Veggies let out water as they dance around in there, so keep it light.

3. Frozen meat in a crock pot—yay or nay? 

Better to thaw that beef first for an even cook and no food safety scares.

4. Need something to thicken things up a bit? 

Xanthan gum, guar gum, cream cheese—take your pick!

But wait, there’s more flavor where that came from! Fresh herbs, garlic, and onions—they’re all invited to the party. And browning meat before tossing it in adds that extra punch of taste.  What are you waiting for? Get cooking those low-carb goodies now!
