Question 1

any suggestions on what foods to eat on a low carb diet?

Accepted Answer

Low carb foods!: Generally you want to avoid sugars and starches (grains, potatoes). Do eat non-starchy carbs like vegetables, avocados and berries and have moderate protein foods like beans, nuts, seeds, eggs, cheese, chicken, fish, grass-fed meats etc. Avoid gmo foods ; animals fed gmo foods (thus choose organic meats/eggs). For a detailed essay i've written on diet and health see http://bit.Lygagviu.

Question 7

what is the best fruit to eat  on a low carb diet can you eat crackers with unsalted top on a low carb low colostrol diet   ?

Accepted Answer

Crackers are: carbs and its best to avoid them.  Ezekiel bread is made from sprouted grains and is a good substitute for carbs.  It's in the frozen food section at the market and comes in a variety of types.  A bit expensive but dense so it goes a longer way than regular bread.  Best fruit is what is low on the glycemic index.  Search for a chart on the net.  Berries are best.  Peace and good health.

Question 8

i am an endomorph, i follow a low carb diet & do a lot of cardio, would i still get to 10% bodyfat if i take a day off & eat junk food 1 day per week?

Accepted Answer

Mind change: "body type" / "endomorph" talk is mostly subscience. You'll get yourself lean when, and only when, you lose your taste for high-calorie, unnutritious food. Your athletic peers will reinforce this. It's great that you're doing a lot of cardio, but save the big empty-calorie tickets for when you're out with friends and even then, impress them by eating a salad. Ask your physician for guidance.

Question 9

on a low carb diet  can you eat  talapy fish  sardine.... tuna ..

Accepted Answer

Yes: As long as the fish is not breaded, it complies with a low carb diet. Tuna is the healthiest fish mentioned. Tilapia is fatty and sardines high in sodium.

Accepted Answer
