No Carb Diet Plan That Works

No carb diet plan obviously is a diet lack of carb.

This type of the diet quickly lower the body weight, especially combined with any physical activity (fitness, aerobics, tennis, basketball, strength training, tae bo, pilates, yoga etc).

It is difficult to follow no carb diet plan because of two reasons:

1. There are no many foods that don’t contain carbs.

And

2. Your body starts to want carbs at the end of the first day on no carb diet and it is possible to experience head ache and weakness. I write this because of my personal experience with no carb diet. Every time I lower the amount of carbs, I have head ache, but usually after the second day of the diet plan things become better and my body get used to the diet.

Having in mind the above, there is nothing bad to try no carb diet plan. For example the body builders follow no carb diet a week or two before the competition in order to burn the last body fat left in their bodies. They do this because they want their muscles to become the most visible at the time of the contest (fat lies over the muscles and is an obstacle to see the muscles lying under it.).

Since you can’t eat carbs than it left 2 things you can eat – protein and fats. If you want to lose weight, aka burn fat, you don’t want to eat fat too. Than you can eat only proteins.

It is not very natural to eat only protein and my personal opinion is that you can do this for a limited period, couple of weeks is ok.

In other words, if you want to lose weight, than do no carb diet, but no longer than 2-3 weeks. After that start to eat foods that contain “slow” carbs which are from the good type of carbs.

What you can eat on no carbs diet?

• Egg whites.
• Meat – chicken breasts, tuna fish, veal and turkey fillet – boiled or baked (never cook them fried!!!)
• Low fat yogurt.
• Soy products (low fat) – tofu, soy milk.
• Vegetables.
• Sprouts.

Example for a no carb diet plan

Breakfast
6 boiled egg whites and 30 grams (1 ounce) Greek cheese.

Snack
Skimmed plain (no sweet) yogurt – 400 grams (15 ounces).

Lunch
200 grams (8 ounces) grilled (baked) meat (fillet) and large fresh salad (lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers, cabbage, carrots)

Snack
100 grams (4 ounces) lentils sprouts. Add salt and vinegar to the sprouts and they have taste like a salad. Lentils sprouts contain 22% carbs, but they are very healthy food, because of the Potassium (in 100 grams of sprouts there is 300 mg Potassium and 170 mg Phosphor.). Researches prove, that diets high in Potassium are good for high blood pressure (don’t rush to the med shop to buy Potassium, first ask your doctor weather you need to take Potassium as a supplement.).

Dinner, not later than 6-7 pm
Tofu soup (low fat). Ingredients for 1 person – cut 150-200 (6-8 ounces) grams of tofu, some leeks, couple of mushrooms, add water and salt. Boil for 10-15 minutes and eat hot.

Because there are no foods that don’t contain carbs, there is no completely no carb diet plan. Almost every type of food contain some carb it is difficult to find what to eat on no carb diet.

Good Luck :-)
