The season of long days and fresh summer salads is behind us. Let’s welcome autumn with some hearty low carb meals. Learn recipes that will inspire you to use flavourful seasonal ingredients. It’s the best time to bring comfort and joy to your diet and make sure you stay on track.

Keep your dietary habits going strong in a new season

It’s important to reinforce good habits with a change of season. The colder weather and less sunshine make everyone crave comfort foods. That can be a trigger to go off the rails. One thing that helps prevent that is sufficient fibre intake.

Leeks are a great autumn ingredient! You can combine them with mushrooms to make a truly hearty meal full of fibre. This recipe shows our favourite way to enjoy leeks and mushrooms. It’s easy to fall in love with this yummy combo.

Let seasonal ingredients be your muse

We all get stuck not knowing what to make for dinner sometimes. The best solution is to visit a farmer’s market and see what’s on offer. Local and seasonal ingredients are guaranteed to be rich in vitamins and overflowing with flavour. That’s how you spice your meals up and get excited about a new season.

The vivid orange colour of pumpkin is synonymous with autumn. It’s naturally rich in vitamin A and several antioxidants. It’s a starchy plant that can be hard to fit in your low carb diet. That’s why we created a pumpkin recipe that should get you under 30 g of carbs per serving.
