Spring time is the beginning of grilling season.
There is nothing better than all those wonderful meats fresh off the grill. Don't forget you can also grill your vegetables. By using a little olive oil, salt and pepper you can make tasty sides for your meats.
Many of us want to finish off out meats with a sauce. Make sure you choose a sauce that is carb friendly as well as tasty. Others want a tasty rub or marinade. Just remember that a Low-carb lifestyle takes planning and moderation.
