You know the benefits of maintaining a low-carb diet, and the wonders it can have when trying to gain lean muscle and lose excess fat in a healthy manner. Sometimes, people may find this change to their lifestyle overwhelming, but it is actually quite simple! With low carb being a popular diet right now, there’s even more substitutes for grains and breads.
Here I will list some examples of foods and types of food to always keep in your kitchen.
- Meat: (no surprise!) Chicken breast, pork tenderloin, and turkey breast. Buy organic and grass-fed meat when possible.
- Fish and seafood are also great, just avoid anything fried or with breading.
- Egg whites! They are a better choice than whole eggs when you want to have more protein, fewer calories, and fewer grams of fat.
- Vegetables: Stick to low carb vegetables such as cauliflower, broccoli, asparagus,and other veggies that grow above ground. This can come as a surprise to people that some vegetables contain more carbohydrates than desired when following a low carb program. Here’s a link that explains this in further detail on which vegetables contain more carbs.
- Fruits: Berries are okay in moderation
- Nuts and Seeds: These are to be enjoyed in small amounts, as they contain a lot of fat and calories https://fitandpsyched.com/blog/pros-and-cons-of-the-keto-diet/.
