Any success stories here?
I am considering doing this for a month or so to kick start the weight loss and then maintaining.
What would be the best way to go about it? Please share meal ideas.
A friend of mine did it and it worked well for her, she'd have an omelette with salsa or an boiled egg and chicken sausage for breakfast. Soup and a piece of grilled chicken or fish with salad (usually some kind of beans). Soup and either a 'tikka' or a few kabab's for dinner with steamed vegetables.
- Baked tikka/kabab's.
- Chicken, fish, shrimp stir-fry's made with very little oil.
- Chaats, with beans and yoghurt
Do include a few carbs though (in the morning) otherwise you'll be very grumpy :/
Re: High Protien Low Carb
search for "Keto diet" in google. Basically its a low carb, mild protein and high fat diet.
A word of Low carb diet is that dont go on it unless you want to be adopt it as your life style not just "dieting" coz whenever you go off it in a month or whenever your body will react differently and may gain back lost weight.

Great Ideas! I can definitely see myself eating this stuff...
What kinda carbs would you say I should add in the breakfast, a slice of wholewheat bread maybe?

I think it wouldn't be advisable to make high protien diet a lifestyle thing in the long term since you'd be missing out on a lot of nutrients.... What I am aiming to do is kick start the weight loss and then calorie control and exercise to keep things going...I think you would gain back if you go straight back to unhealthy eating habits ...otherwise it should work, what do you say?

^exactly. If you are willing to do exercise in future then its okay. ofcourse its gonna depend on the the intensity of the exercise/workout..

For Keto Diet, the wiki says:
The ketogenic diet has also been proposed as a treatment for a number of neurological conditions other than epilepsy; as of 2008, research in this area has yet to produce sufficient positive data to warrant clinical use
So do you think epilepsy patients should go for that?

I'm a fan of oatmeal, wholewheat and multi-grain bread, bagels in the morning. I don't like white bread anymore... You can even have bran cereal, wheat-flakes etc.

lets put this in perspective, if you go low carb for an extended period and lose a lot of weight, once you increase your carb intake, unless with that u go back to pooe eating habits, you are not going to gain all that weight back. People think induction phase of low carb diets is the only phase, do it for a few weeks lose 10lbs and then go back to eating ras gullay and biryani and gain all back. Thats a whole diff situation.
in a carb restricted diet, you are off of pretty much any carbs initially, and then gradually increase carbs, and in the maintenance mode you eat quite a bit of good carbs without it resulting in weight gain.
There is no logical reason that if you lose a good amount of weight on a carb restricted diet and then incorporate carbs again that all the lost weight will come back, unless as I stated that the weight loss was mostly that initial weight loss of the first few weeks.
