Low-carb diet tips

Following a low-carb diet can be challenging, especially at the beginning. Here are a few low-carb diet tips that might help people stick to their diet.

Knowing what foods are low-carb

Low-carb foods include:

• Lean meats, such as sirloin, chicken breast, or pork
• Fish
• Eggs
• Leafy green vegetables
• Cauliflower and broccoli
• Nuts and seeds, including nut butter
• Oils, such as coconut oil, olive oil, and rapeseed oil
• Some fruit and berries, such as apples, blueberries, and strawberries
• Unsweetened dairy products including plain whole milk and plain Greek yogurt

Which foods to avoid in a low carb diet

Sugary fruits (except named above), potatoes, beer, soda/juices, rice, pasta, bread, chocolate bars, candies…

Create and follow a  meal plan that includes low carb recipes

The reason why a lot of people are craving or always hungry is probably that they don’t space out their meals properly. It’s best to have three meals and two snacks a day every three to four hours. A regular routine is better than snacking all day long without any plan, as you may end up taking in more calories than you should.
