No Carb July

It’s hard to believe we’re already more than halfway through the year. With a trip to Hawaii on the horizon next month to visit my mom, I’ve decided to go low-carb for the month of July. Swimsuit season is around the corner, and this little reset feels like the right kind of motivation—not just to look good, but to feel good, too.

I’m someone who genuinely loves carbs. They find their way into every meal I make—noodles, rice, bánh mì, you name it. So taking a break from them gives me a chance to get creative in the kitchen again. Instead of the usual staples, I’ve been exploring new ways to build satisfying meals that don’t rely on grains or starches.

I like to complement these dishes with simple sides—steamed vegetables like cabbage, a bed of baby greens, or slices of cucumber for that refreshing taste and crunchiness.

This month, I’m sharing some of my favorite no-carb-friendly dishes—recipes that still feel full and flavorful, without missing the carbs one bit. Whether you’re doing a reset of your own or just looking for something a little lighter, I hope you find inspiration in these recipes.
