Low Carb Diet Plan
What foods you should eat depends on a few things, including how healthy you are, how much you exercise and how much
weight you have to lose.
The Basics
Eat: Meat, fish, eggs, vegetables, fruit, nuts, seeds, high-fat dairy, fats, healthy oils and maybe even some tubers and
non-gluten grains.
Don’t Eat: Sugar, HFCS, wheat, seed oils, trans fats, artificial sweeteners, “diet” and low-fat products and highly processed
foods.
Foods To Avoid
° Sugar: Soft drinks, fruit juices, agave, candy, ice cream and many others.
° Gluten Grains: Wheat, spelt, barley and rye. Includes breads and pastas.
° Trans Fats: “Hydrogenated” or “partially hydrogenated” oils.
° High Omega-6 Seed- and Vegetable Oils: Cottonseed-, soybean-, sunflower-, grapeseed-, corn-, safflower and canola oils.
° Artificial Sweeteners: Aspartame, Saccharin, Sucralose, Cyclamates and Acesulfame Potassium. Use Stevia instead.
° “Diet” and “Low-Fat” Products: Many dairy products, cereals, crackers, etc.
° Highly Processed Foods: If it looks like it was made in a factory, don’t eat it.
You should base your diet on these real, unprocessed, low-carb foods.
If trying to lose weight, be sure to limit yourself with nuts and fruit. It’s easy to overeat on these items.
Maybe Eat
If you’re healthy, active and don’t need to lose weight then you can afford to eat a bit more carbs.
Dark chocolate is high in antioxidants and may provide health benefits if you eat it in moderation. However, be aware that
both dark chocolate and alcohol will hinder your progress if you eat/drink too much.
Drink
° Coffee (decaf)
° Tea (herbal)
° Water
° Carbonated soda without artificial sweeteners.
