there doesn’t seem to be any bigger controversy in nutrition than discussing everyone’s opinion regarding what is the healthiest most ideal diet. my take on the matter is that there doesn’t have to be only one single diet or eating plan that everyone should follow; rather there may be many different paths that you can take to eat healthy and achieve a healthy diet. choosing the right diet can be difficult. the biggest factor that you have to first consider is what’s going to work well for you. try to figure out what you want to accomplish by changing your diet. is there a particular benefit or health outcome that you’re trying to achieve? certain diets may be better than others in providing different health outcomes so you first need to identify what you want to get out of your diet. the next part is to learn to set realistic expectations for yourself. will a certain diet be too restrictive for you or completely eliminate all the foods that you enjoy? do you think that you’ll feel hungry all the time or won’t be able to have anything to eat in social situations? you need to contemplate whether the eating plan that you’re looking at will actually work well for you. of course you may have to make some concessions and compromises with your diet sure but you also need to be realistic in what’s going to be achievable and manageable for you. a good way to start is to make slow and gradual changes to your eating habits. pick maybe one aspect of your diet that you would like to improve upon and work on changing that area first. once you’re successful there begin to make other changes until you finally reach a place where you’re comfortable with your diet. this strategy may work well to help ensure that you don’t overwhelm yourself by trying to make a drastic change or trying to do too much too soon. remember you need to approach this in a manner that you can sustain long term as part of a lifestyle change not as a short term solution to a problem. with all of that said to answer your question the paleo (caveman) diet has become quite popular. it’s a relatively low carbohydrate high protein diet that emphasizes grass-fed beef fish eggs fresh fruits and fresh vegetables; while it excludes dairy grains and refined/processed foods. see if this diet will work for you and feel free to explore other diets by reviewing diets a-z. personally i reccommend the paleo lifestyle. you can get all the information you need online you don't have to buy a book or anything. it is also called the caveman diet and it is pretty balanced. a website called the daily apple (google it) is helpful and also free. i find that eating paleo (or at least mostly paleo) is fairly balanced and fairly low carb. the main idea as you may know is to avoid eating things we wouldn't have had before agriculture. think vegetables lean meat fruit nuts seeds eggs animal based fats fish limited beans. it eliminates a lot of the junk we all eat and it helps you feel a lot fuller and more energetic. the biggest problem for me is cost. i use a somewhat modified version in that i add cheese and yogurt a somewhat pastoralist variation. for healthy dieting combination of slow carbs fast carbs & protein is necessary. so if we have meals containing these in proper combination it will help to loose weight naturally. i'm following a diet called food lovers fat loss system by tryfoodlovers is based on this principle. it helped me to loose fat in a healthy manner.
what is the best low carb high protein diet? . in the past i have done the high protein diet however in my opinion there were not enough fruits or vegetables you could eat "legally". with some of the new ideas out there i think that has changed some. i would love to know which of the low carb/high protein diets is most recommended. and where to get the information about such a diet. thank you for any help you can give.
