Low carb dieting is becoming a thing of the past. Losing weight with a high carb and high protein diet is not only possible but easy to accomplish. According to a 2006 study by the Journal of American Medical Association, women who ate a high carb high protein diet, not only lost weight but kept it off. The purpose of the study was not to lose weight, however, the weight loss was an added bonus.
Step 1
Eat a well balanced breakfast of one serving of whole grains such as breads, nuts, or soy products. Add to that a serving of protein such as bacon or skinless chicken and round it off with fruits. Fruits are also high in protein and carbs. This type of breakfast will help dispell sugar craving throughout the day and keep you satisfied until lunchtime.
Step 2
Have a pork loin, skinless chicken breast, or bottom round steak for lunch. Eating these meats as a sandwich with whole grain bread is a great way to make this a portable meal. Add vegetables such as lettuce, tomato, and onion to your sandwich and eat a bag of carrots or celery as a side. This is a wonderfully light yet filling lunch.
Step 3
Snack on fresh vegetables or fruit with a tablespoon of lowfat peanut butter, to help get through the afternoon. This will help you keep hunger under control until it is time to eat supper.
Step 4
Prepare fresh fish, known for it's omega 3 fatty acids, and steamed vegetables. Green leafy veggies are ideal for supper, as they contain carbs and protein in abundance. Serve hot with a whole grain roll and for dessert, more fresh fruit with a lowfat cottage cheese. Cottage cheese is an excellent source for protein.
Step 5
Remember that in order to succeed with a high carb hig protein diet, you need to be aware of what foods are okay to consume. Calorie content of any meal is a big issue and should be watched carefully. Dairy products contain proteins and give you a much needed variety. Nuts, beans, legumes, and soy also provide protein and carbohydrates, making mealtime a little more interesting.
