10 Lies You Will Tell Yourself When You Quit Carbs

8. Mac & Cheese Without Mac Is A Thing

What's in a name? That which we call a rose by any other name would smell as sweet and speaking of, have you tried adding flowers to your salads? They're so low carb! But anyway, the point is that just because your favourite foods say they should be made with carbs, doesn't mean you have to include them. Macaroni is only 50% of mac and cheese- you'll probably barely notice its absence! Just get a baking dish, fill it with cheese and cream, pop it in the oven for 20 mins and eat with a spoon. Mmmm, the friends who keep refusing your dinner invitations are definitely missing out. This is so good you don't even mind the searing pain as it burns your throat! If you really are desperate for pasta, just spiralise some courgette and chuck that in. Sure, it may seem that a green, water-based vegetable has nothing in common with a pale, flour-based non-vegetable but maybe be less racist about your food? It's not all about what it looks like. Or is made of. Or how it tastes.
