Scott Schwab:
With so many choices available for eating, I thought I could put together a quick guide for those looking to make better choices when it comes to eating. This list is put together in reference to the food pyramid. These suggestions also include an eating style high in protein.
Meats: Fish is the best choice, then white meat chicken, turkey, and last lean low fat beef.
Greens: Lettuce or spinach, Celery, Cabbage, Mushrooms, Avocado, Asparagus, Green Beans, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Summer Squash, Zucchini, Sprouts, Tomatoes, Snow Peas, Eggplant, Okra, and Carrots.
Dairy: Low Fat Cheese, Low Fat Yogurt, Low Fat Cottage Cheese, Carb control Yogurt, Organic milk, cheese, yogurt, and hormone free products are better for you.
Fruits: Of course you can have a banana or an orange in the morning, but I would recommend only eating these items in the early part of the day.
Grains: Anything whole grain and unprocessed, or at least grains that are processed as little as possible are so much better for you.
Why do popular high protein diets work when others fail?
Through dieting, the body experiences a negative caloric intake. To compensate it takes from both its fat stores and lean body tissue to maintain its energy requirements. To preserve lean body mass and lose weight from our unwanted fat stores, protein supplementation is necessary. Consistent protein intake on a daily basis with a restricted calorie diet is essential. You can accomplish this with a high-protein diet and also including protein supplementation. However, your diet must contain adequate amounts of high-quality protein, yet remain low in overall carbohydrates and fat.
