The Best Low Carb Diet Meal Plan

The Best Low Carb Diet Meal Plan

The most common question that I get asked all the time is 'Do I include carbohydrates in my diet or do I leave them out completely?' Before you start your weight loss program you need to know that there are good carbohydrates and bad carbohydrates. Good carbohydrates play a vital role in your healthy diet and should never be excluded. They provide your body with the energy that it needs.

Examples of bad carbohydrates include; cakes, biscuits, sugary foods, most processed foods, white bread, white pasta and rice. These foods are packed with refined sugar which is stored in the body as fat.

Examples of good carbohydrates include; wholegrain cereals, wholegrain pastas, wholemeal rice and bread, vegetables and fruit. These foods contain numerous vitamins and minerals which are essential for good health and extremely important for anyone who is on a weight loss diet.

The best low carb diet meal plan should include the following foods;

For breakfast;
High fibre cereals such as all bran
Sliced cantaloupe
Bowl of berries (raspberries or blueberries) with plain yogurt
Scrambled or boiled eggs with wholemeal toast

For lunch;
Chicken salad
Tuna salad
Salad sandwiches on wholemeal breads
Soup with slice of wholemeal or rye bread

For dinner;
Grilled fish, wholemeal rice and asparagus
Grilled chicken, wholemeal pasta, broccoli
Chicken or beef stir fry with wholemeal rice

As you can see including good carbohydrates in your weight loss program is very important, especially for long term weight loss. Avoid any fad diets that tell you otherwise. Your body needs a balanced and healthy diet.
