I like cheese sticks (the usual mozzarella, or sharp cheddar), but get sick of just eating them cold. So sometimes I put them on a plate, add some spices and dried onion, and microwave them for 30 seconds. This liquifies them and makes them a nice warm smooth treat.
I've benefited from the "low carbs two days a week" diet (and, of course, eating sensibly the other days), with some weight lost, and improvements in lab tests such as cholesterol and blood sugar (I'm a Type 2 diabetic). This blog details some of the things I enjoy on low carb and regular-carb days. I have no affiliation with, nor do I receive any compensation from, any companies and products featured here, they're just things I like and that work for me.
More on the Low Carb Two Days A Week Eating Plan here. The basics: 2 days a week (they don't have to be consecutive) strive to eat no more than 15 grams of carbs per meal, and have a snack with no more than 5 carbs. The other days enjoy carbs in moderation, and eat sensibly.

Better cheese sticks
Air Fryer FTW
My air fryer has made eating low carb much nicer, as I can now quickly and easily have freshly cooked meat and low-carb veggies, with a crisp on them.
I bought this one, and have no complaints, but there’s lots of other choices as well.
Tips:
- Move stuff around/shake it halfway through for more even crisping
- I use spray oil (coconut or olive), this helps things get browned/crispy more easily
- I cook everything at the default 400 F and just adjust the time as needed
- Let it cool down before you wash it (important for all non-stick cookware)
