By Tony Kinley


With our scientists reporting obesity in America is about to reach pandemic proportions within the next two decades we all need to take action for ourselves by starting a low carb diet.

Plan Before Shop

If you need to form a low carb diet food shopping plan, you need to fix on meals that you are going to enjoy eating so that you can work out what ingredients you're going to require to purchase. There's tons of great low carb diet food available out there, and here are one or two mouth watering ideas that you will want to try.

Of course vegetables and fruit are always great low carb diet food, so regardless of what your meal plans may be you should usually be loaded up on delicious and fresh fruit and veg to use either as side dishes or nibbles during the day.

Let's commence with the protein low carb diet food. The National Academy of Science advocates a higher limit of 35% of calories coming from protein, so although many of us say that they should not have protein in a low carb diet, this isn't true in any way. Chicken is especially great in a low carb diet, anything from chicken breasts and legs to drumsticks and wings.

Fish is also a great source of protein and perfect low carb diet food, with most fish fillets or steaks have about 22 grams of protein for 3 1/2 oz. Of cooked fish or 6 grams per oz, which is extremely respectable.

If you like eggs and dairy you can include these in your diet too , an egg equals 6 grams protein, 1 cup of milk equals 8 grams, 1/2 cup cottage cheese equals 15 grams, and 1 cup yogurt equals 8-12 grams respectively. The grams of protein are important in relationship with the quantity of carbohydrates, so you are aware of not only how many carbohydrates you are avoiding but also how much energy you are getting.
