Carbs No Protein Yes
Carbs release insulin and tells most cells not to release any fat to burn. Too many carbs (300 avg intake is way too many) and you crave more sweets because excessive insulin takes all sugar out of your blood. Sugar damages your body; that’s why insulin is important.
Low carb diet means less hunger and no loss of muscle because you are eating more protein.
What you don’t want from too much insulin:
1. Converts sugar in the blood to fat in the cells — tells the body to store all the fat it can while the sugar is available
2. Tells the cells not to burn any fat, since there are plenty of sugar molecules to burn
3. Makes you crave more carbs
What you do want:
Keep your carbs under 30 per day.
Meat (that is not processed with carbs, such as chicken fried steak)
Broccoli
Spinach
Celery
Asparagus
Cauliflower
Lettuce
Cabbage
Mushrooms
Berries are low in sugar and high in fiber.
Nuts are low in carbs and high in omega-3 fats.
And try to eat very little (or NONE) of these:
Grains (that means no rice; you can substitute bean sprouts for rice)
Potatoes
Sugars
