High Protein Low Carb Diets: The Truth

Updated on February 5, 2013

The truth about weight loss plans is that, more often than not, they are absolutely nothing more than fantasies and empty promises. Some plans have such extreme specifications that it is actually difficult for any individual to stick towards the eating plan, let alone see any substantial fat loss. Nonetheless, other types of diets have stayed around for years and have gained a certain quantity of popularity. One such eating plan is the high protein, low carb diet.


The principle of a high protein, low carb diet regime is replacing carbohydrate-rich foods with foods that are high in protein. However, this can be harder than it seems. Among the many challenges with this type of diet regime, is the fact that several folks opt for the wrong types of protein to eat.


For example, there's the misconception that you can eat all of the bacon, cheese, eggs and other high fat, high protein foods that you simply want, so long as you do not eat carbs. Not surprisingly, foods like bacon and cheese are loaded with sodium and saturated fats, which are not good for anybody. To become successful on a low carb diet program, you will need to make far better food alternatives. By way of example, rather than consuming a bacon and cheese omelette for breakfast, you may have 1 egg, several slices of low-fat turkey bacon, as well as a bit of fruit.


Whenever you get rid of carbs and eat mainly protein, the results may be dramatic at first. Your body, rather than using empty carbs for fuel, will begin burning the protein you eat much more swiftly, which leads to weight-loss. On the other hand, staying on a high protein, low carb eating plan for an extended period of time can generate its own health troubles.


Although carbs have gained a poor reputation, they actually do not deserve it. Carbohydrates are as essential as protein for your wellness and well-being. Furthermore, carbs are vital for brain activity and mood stability, and delivering a prepared source of energy for the body's use. When you make an effort to remove all carbs from your diet plan, you will be most likely to experience unusual fatigue. You will likely have trouble with concentration and creative thinking. To make matters worse, many people experience mood swings.


The point is the fact that a high protein, low carb diet plan might suit you, but only as long as you make the correct food choices. You have to be specifically careful to obtain balanced and complete nutrition from your meals. Commonly speaking, people who wish to lose weight in a healthy manner must build their diet plan plan around lean meat and fish, wholegrains, vegetables, and fruits.


Don’t forget that food is not the enemy. Even when you would like to lose weight, you nevertheless require food to fuel your body and mind and to preserve fantastic well being. You don’t want to get caught up in any extreme diet regime. Eating a wide range of wholesome foods in little quantities is the best solution to staying well nourished whilst reducing weight.
