Making A Low Carb, High Protein Diet Plan

A low carb, high protein diet is the best sort of diet plan for men simply because does not involve attempting to survive on low energy, low calorie foods. As it happens, it has nothing to do with watching the calories and the better known high protein, low carb diet plans such as the highly popular The Man Made Diet essentially ask you to ignore calories. If this sounds like the type of diet you would be interested to do then please, read on.

The Basics Of The Diet Plan

A high protein, low carb diet plan will only work if you understand what protein and carbohydrates do for your body. The protein works well for you body in order to give you a lift of energy. Carbohydrates can also do this, but it is more like a sugar high. That’s why carbohydrates are considered a no no in diets for those that are diabetic.

If you are ready to begin a high protein, low carb diet plan you will first need know what foods are high in carbohydrates and what foods are high in proteins. A diet of low carb and high protein foods will require you to restrict yourself from eating foods like white rice, pasta, jellies, candy and most types of crackers. These are full of the carbohydrates that always give you that aggravating sugar rush that raises your blood sugar and can be particularly unhealthy if these are the staples of your diet.

Also, you need to realise there are carbohydrates that your body will need. Those carbohydrates that are necessary for your body are found in fruit and veg. If you are doing a high protein, low carb diet plan you may also have to realize that you can’t restrict all carbohydrates from your diet plan. This would be unhealthy.

For the food that are high in proteins, you’ll find that starting a low carb, high protein diet plan will permit you to eat more types of meats and more nuts. These are the foods that are highest in protein. But in most red meats you’ll have to be careful about the protein that you eat because nuts and animal meat are also high in cholesterol. You will want to be sure that your diet contains protein from lean, skinless chicken, turkey or fish and nuts that are unsalted so that you can watch your salt intake too.

Take note that a low carb, high protein diet plan won’t work without an exercise plan. I would recommend you check out these workout plans for men from The Man Up Zone.
