In five weeks, I have reduced my body weight by 40 pounds and my body fat percentage to 15%. This was accomplished by following a high protein low carb diet. This type of diet excels in developing lean muscle while slowly eliminating fat reservoirs in the stomach and thigh areas. However, this type of diet is best utilized with a stringent exercise plan including at least 20 minutes of intense cardiovascular activities per day.
My husband and I have been on high protein diets for over 5 years. During this time we have been able to keep our weight under control as well as his “pre diabetes” under control. For most of our meals we eat chicken, steak, eggs, pork, fish, or shrimp. We try to avoid pastas and breads as well as any other high carb food.
This article discuses a high protein diet that worked well for the author. Before you consider any major changes in your diet, it is a good idea to talk to a medical doctor, a nutritionist, a certified personal trainer or anyone else with the qualifications, experience and education necessary to make a proper evaluation of your dietary needs.
