Carbohydrates Diet Plan
Carbohydrates can be found in a wide range of food, whether it's healthy or unhealthy food. Some of them are bread, milk and popcorn. The most common form of carbs are sugars, fibers, and starches.
Carbs being the body's primary part of energy supply, it should make up half of the daily calorie requirement. But keep in mind that it is important to choose the right carbs.
Instead of taking simple carbs such as bread, biscuits and white rice that contain too much sugar, try taking complex carbs which are high in fiber and packed with nutrients. This is because fiber rich carbs take time to digest where it leaves you full for a longer period of time. Brown rice, oats are examples of complex carbs.
Health Benefits of this diet
Carbs helps to fuel your brain. You brain needs glucose and it can’t store much. So, you need to refill it through carbs-rich foods. If you glucose lowers below the optimal levels, you brain will start to act weird. This can lead you to experience brain fog, difficulty in concentration and learning.
Carbs also help with digestion. Carbs like veggies, fruits and whole grains contain dietary fiber. This fiber is good in maintaining your bowel movements. This means you will less likely feel bloated. This is because your body is constantly efficiently eliminating waste.
Lower the risk of cardiac arrest. Carbs can improve or worsen your heart health. Oatmeal, nuts, and apples, are rich in soluble fiber. Soluble fiber is essential in reducing blood sugar levels and lowering LDL cholesterol. And, it's well known that high circulating levels of both sugar and LDL cholesterol are risky to your heart.

Taking too much carbs can lead to weight gain. Eating large servings of carbs, heavy dishes like rice, pasta and breads which can contain hundreds or over a thousand calories can lead to weight gain. If you eat foods like this on a daily basis, this can lead to weight gain. Not just that, over consuming carbs can lead to having type 2 diabetes.
After you eat a carbohydrate-containing meal, your blood sugar increases where your pancreas releases insulin. This helps in transforming your glucose into a storage compound in your liver, muscles and other tissues, which lowers your blood sugar. Type 2 diabetes occurs when your body stops making insulin. So to avoid this risk try to consume fewer calories and add more healthy carbs in your diet..
Protein Diet Plan
Most of us may fail to reach daily protein intake as we focus so much on carbs. Proteins are important for the body which helps the body to build and repair tissues, muscle, cartilage and skin. A high protein diet can help promote weight loss as it helps with building muscles(which burns more calories than fat).
About 30% of your diet should consist of protein such as eggs, lean meats, fish, green leafy vegetables. and sprouts. Having one helping of protein with every meal is essential. If you are someone who follows a vegetarian diet there are some options available for you too. Try to choose protein according to your diet plan.
Health Benefits of this diet
Eating the right amount of protein helps to reduce appetite and hunger levels. These effects on your appetite can be really powerful. Research shows that an increase in protein intake from 15% to 30% of calories can make overweight women eat 441 fewer calories each day without intentionally restricting anything .
If you are considering losing belly fat, consider replacing your carbs and fats with protein. This can be as simple as lowering your carbs and increasing your protein. Protein also boosts metabolism and increases fat burn.
Consuming high protein intake has shown a drastic change and increases the number of calories you burn. It can burn around 80 to 100 calories per day. Some research shows eating protein rich foods can help you burn even more calories.
Downsides
Eating way too little carbs and a lot of protein can cause bad breath. In a study, 40 percent of participants reported bad breath. This is because your body goes into a metabolic state called ketosis, which produces chemicals that give off an unpleasant smell.
Not just that, eating way too much protein can cause constipation. In the same study, 44 percent of participants reported constipation. High protein diets which have a limited number of carbs are low in fiber. Consuming water and fiber can help to cope up with constipation.
