A Simple Low-Carb food
A good rule is to shop at the perimeter of the store, where
the whole foods are likelier to be found.
Organic and grass-fed foods are best, but only if you can
easily afford them. Even if you don’t buy organic, your diet will still be a
thousand times better than the standard western diet.
A Sample Low-Carb Menu
For One Week
This is a sample menu for one week on a low carb diet plan.
It provides less than 50 grams of total carbs per day, but as
I mentioned above if you are healthy and active you can go beyond that.
- Monday
Breakfast: Omelet with various vegetables,
fried in butter or coconut oil.
Lunch: Grass-fed yogurt with blueberries
and a handful of almonds
Dinner: Cheeseburger (no bun), served with
vegetables and salsa sauce
- Tuesday
Breakfast: Bacon and eggs
Lunch: Leftover burgers and veggies from
the night before.
- Wednesday
Breakfast: Eggs and vegetables, fried in butter
or coconut oil
Lunch: Shrimp salad with some olive oil
Dinner: Grilled chicken with vegetables
- Thursday

fried in butter or coconut oil.

almonds and protein powder
- Friday

coconut flakes and a handful of walnuts

- Sunday

heavy cream, chocolate-flavoured protein powder and berries
Include a variety of vegetables in your diet. If your goal is
to remain under 50 grams of carbs per day, then there is room for plenty of
veggies and one fruit per day.
if you’re healthy, lean and active, you can add some tubers
like potatoes and sweet potatoes, as well as some healthier grains like rice
and oats
