Here's a breakdown of the diet plan they use
@lowcarbGP @jen_unwin 1. Cut out the sugar
Your body is drowning in sugar
To improve your condition, you'll benefit from cutting sugar out completely
Avoid the common culprits like:
- cake
- cookies
- pastries
- ice cream
- soda
- candy
- fruit juice
- smoothies etc.

@lowcarbGP @jen_unwin 2. Reduce Starchy Carbs
When you eat starches your digestive system breaks them down in sugar molecules
(you want to avoid sugar)
Avoid eating
- bread
- pasta
- refined flours
- potatoes
- breakfast cereals

@lowcarbGP @jen_unwin You may be wondering "what about whole grains?"
Short answer: avoid them
They aren't much healthier for you than their "white" cousins
See the chart below if you don't believe me

@lowcarbGP @jen_unwin 3. Eat lots of green vegetables
Green vegetables are low in carbs and high in fiber and other nutrients
Feel free to load up on as much as you'd like

@lowcarbGP @jen_unwin 4. Fruit
Although fruit contains natural sugars, it's still sugar
Until you can reverse PD/T2D it's best to avoid most fruits with the exception of
- strawberries
- blueberries
- raspberries
In small quantities like 1/2 cup/day

@lowcarbGP @jen_unwin 5. Get your protein

- hunger
- cravings
- low energy
Aim to get 1g/lb of body weight
(1.2-1.7g/kg of body weight)
Best protein sources
- meat
- fish
- chicken
- pork
- seafood
- eggs

@lowcarbGP @jen_unwin 6. Moderate natural fats
Plenty of healthy fats will come from eating meat
But adding additional forms of fat can improve your satiety and energy levels
Add more fat in the form of
- butter
- olive oil
- ghee
- full-fat dairy
- avocado
- avocado oil
- coconut oil

@lowcarbGP @jen_unwin Be careful not to add too much fat as it may stall weight loss.
In addition, avoid inflammatory oils such as:
- canola oil
- sunflower oil
- safflower oil
- soybean oil
- vegetable oil
- margarine

@lowcarbGP @jen_unwin 7. Avoid the low-fat scam
Low-fat foods are loaded with added sugars and other unecessary ingredients
Avoid them whenever possible
Stick to full-fat dressings and full-fat dairy products

@lowcarbGP @jen_unwin 8. Cheese

Eat them in moderation or as a topping

@lowcarbGP @jen_unwin 9. Avoid snacking
If eating a low-carb diet and you feel the need to snack
Try these 2 things
1. Eat more protein
2. Add more fat
If done properly you will feel full for hours and may even skip a meal

@lowcarbGP @jen_unwin 10. Sweeteners
Artificial sweeteners trick your brain into thinking sweets are coming
This can make weight loss difficult and increase sugar cravings
Reduce whenever possible.

Typical beer and mixed drinks are loaded with carbs
If drinking in moderation try
- whiskey
- tequila
- vodka soda
- dry wine
- champagne
Even better, stick to
- black coffee

@lowcarbGP @jen_unwin Preventing the low-carb "flu"
As people transition from using glucose as fuel to body fat they sometimes experience flu-like symptoms
You can prevent this with a glass of water and 1 tsp of sea salt 2x/ day for the first few weeks

@lowcarbGP @jen_unwin Important note*
If you're on medication, speak with your doctor before starting a low carb diet.
Sudden reductions in carbs can lead to low blood sugar or low blood pressure
