High Protein, Low Carb, or Low Fat, what i do?
People on low-carb diets may sometimes feel deprived when it comes to starchy and sugary foods, but there is a saving grace: not having to worry too much about total fat. It’s true that there is no solid evidence that eating a low-fat diet makes a person healthier (all other things being equal). It’s also true that eating some fat is important for our health. There are circumstances, though, when even dedicated low-carbers may want to know about ways to cut fat:
Since different people do well on different diets, you may be living with someone who does better on a lower-fat diet. One strategy for dealing with this is to serve at least some food that is low in both fat and carbs. Then each can supplement with other foods.
High Protein, Low Carb, or Low Fat, what i do?
Refined carbohydrates (such as white bread, white rice, white pasta, most crackers, tonic, sweets, jams and jellies) give you a sugar jolt.
Some of these diets include specific food combining rules where for instance fruit can only be eaten on an empty stomach, while carbs cannot be consumed together with fats or protein (one has to wait for 3 hours between these food groups). On the other hand, carbs may be combined with vegetables,and protein or fats may also be combined with vegetables.
Of course, a normal digestive tract is well equipped to handle carbs, fat, and protein in the same meal,so instead of observing difficult-to-follow food guidelines, those who believe that they have lost the ability to digest or metabolize a mixed meal, an easier solution would be to simply supplement a digestive aid.
Eat lots of fruits and vegetables.
Whole-grain carbohydrates with a low glycemic index are part of a healthy diet.Eliminating refined carbohydrates, which have a high glycemic index, helps you to lose weight and improve health.Choose moderate servings (3 to 4 ounces) of lean protein, balancing animal and plant sources. Poultry and fish are the leanest animal proteins; while beans, nuts, tofu, meat imitators such as veggie burgers are good sources of plant protein.
Limit manufactured, synthetic food products. These are labeled as low-carbohydrate, and are made with sugar alcohols that are not digested and can cause gas, bloating and diarrhea if eaten in quantity.
