High Protein Diets and Low Fat

Beginning any new diet, it should be something you review with your doctor before you begin.  Most physicians will be very happy to discuss your current eating habits, and guide you towards a healthy way of eating, that will work for you.  That being said, there should be some good news to guide you further in your weight loss efforts, and one is protein and carbohydrate knowledge.

There is much value in eating healthy protein, and eating just enough to provide fuel and energy to your day.  Then, fill in around the protein, but adding fresh vegetables and fruit.  It will be important for you to eat what you love, and do it with great chicken, beef, and fish, and keep it lean.  Do not smother your protein in startches and sugar sauces.  Keep away from gravies with lots of sodium that are hard on your liver.  Season with citrus, and with celtic salt.  Vinegars are a great way to add some flavor.

Then, steam some veggies, and add in some herb seasoning.  Keep your cooking time down to a minimum.  Saute some fish with some onions, chive and some lemon juice.  Use your coconut oil, with some crispy fried sweet potatoes on the side.  Do not smother in any sweet or salty sauces, as that is devil of the food world.

This way, you are doing a form of the protein diet craze, but keep your fruits and veggies always around to keep you going.  If you are just eating cheesy hamburgers with no bun, and nothing else for weeks, you are not getting the vitamins and minerals you need.  It is not a way to live.
