Low-Carb Food Groups Build your meals with choices from the low-carb food groups A naturally low-carb diet consists of foods eaten by our pre-agricultural era ancestors (i.e. paleo diet). This diet does not require that you count carbs, calories, fat, or even portion sizes. Your sense of hunger and cravings, unimpaired by the effects of foods that are inappropriate to your biology, will guide you to the appropriate ratios of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats, appropriate portion sizes, and the appropriate frequency with which to eat. Dietary needs are unique to each individual and will vary from day to day. To save time on food preparation and cooking, you might find it convenient to prepare extra servings of dinner to use in breakfast and lunch the following day.

Low Carb Diet: Did you know that only five hundred generations ago, everyone ate a low-carb diet? A low-carb diet based on the eating habits of our pre-agricultural era ancestors is the healthiest and most appropriate choice for optimal health and fitness. This natural low-carb diet shouldn’t be confused with some fad, low-carb diets that promote artificial foods and restrict healthy carbohydrates such as fruits and vegetables. Low-Carb Foods   Forget about the “ low-carb ” products that you might find packaged in stores. Think instead about the foods that were available to our ancestors before they started mass-production farming. They caught or picked everything they ate. They did not open boxes or bags, and their food did not last unspoiled for years. The foods we are designed to eat are whole and natural, unprocessed, and unpreserved. The naturally low-carb paleo food groups inculde meats and organs, vegetables, fruits and berries, and eggs, seeds, nuts, and oils. L...

Protein Vegetarian Diet – Online Resources for Protein Vegetarian Diet Meal Plans Several online resources provide up to date information on nutritionally sound high protein vegetarian diet meal plans. A high protein vegetarian diet that is nutritionally sound can do much to promote weight loss, prevent heart disease and diabetes and boost day to day energy levels. Just what constitutes sound nutrition in protein vegetarian diets needs some consideration. Nuts, for example, are high in protein, fats and calories. Cheese and eggs are also high in fats and cholesterol. Low fat protein shakes, made with real food, not powder, are good alternatives although they tend to get boring if overused. They also tend to be low in fiber when compared to other veggie meals. An 8-ounce bowl of lentils, broccoli and tofu salad, for example, provides almost the same number of calories as an 8-ounce protein shake, but the salad has more plant nutrients and fiber. For people who want to ensure an adequa...
