Protein Suggestions for Specific Diets

Protein Suggestions for Specific Diets
Last week we talked about general protein guidelines, but what if you’re on a very specific type of diet? As always, you can tailor any diet to suit your needs, but let’s talk about what the experts suggest for protein macros for some of the most popular diets:
🔹 Keto
A traditional ketogenic diet is 75% fat, 20% protein and 5% carbs. This can be tailored to suit your goals and lifestyle. If you want to include more protein, lower the fat macros. If your goal is to be in ketosis (for faster weight loss and/or healing a health condition), it’s best you test yourself with a blood ketone meter to see how high you can go on your protein before going out of ketosis. For regular weight loss and good health, ketosis is not necessary.
🔹 Paleo
A typical paleo diet consists of 40% fat, 30% protein and 30% carbohydrates.
🔹 Carnivore
Experts say you should aim for 1.2 – 2.2 grams of protein per kg of body weight. For example, a 154 lb. individual with a moderately active lifestyle might consume 112 – 154g of protein per day. Up the protein if you exercise a lot.
🔹 Low Carb
Eating low carb is pretty macro flexible. You have to determine for yourself how many carbs your body can handle and still lose weight. These macros will vary greatly from person to person, but a good guideline is: 30 – 40% fat, 40 – 50% protein and 10 – 25% carbs.
❓ Do you stick to a specific amount of protein per day, or do you wing it? 👇
You got this!

There is a lot of conflicting information out in internet-land. Even the health experts we’ve been following for years have different points of view when it comes to how much protein we need. When following a low-carb diet, your protein needs can vary based on your specific health goals, activity level, Overall health.

Take Control during Challenging Times
Take Control during Challenging Times
We’ve all experienced negative or challenging times, that’s part of life. Thinking back on something that was hard, difficult or negative... did you eat your way through it? I have often eaten my way through challenging times in my life. After it was over all I was left with was more fat on my body, low energy and feelings of disappointment in myself. It’s a horrible cycle that sadly I have repeated many times in my life.
I have been working on changing this pattern loop and trying to use these times to create self-care strategies that not only prevent me from binge eating or eating high carbs, but also support me in so many other areas of my life.
🔹 Instead of ‘going off’… go ‘on’
Going on or staying on your plan will actually help center you at a time when you really need it. Going off or staying off your plan actually makes you feel like you have no control over your situation, you feel helpless. Feel the strength in being intentional.
🔹 Create a daily healthy habit plan
Purposely creating a daily healthy habit plan puts you in control. Winging it does the opposite.
🔹 Don’t let the challenge control you
So many times I used hard times as an excuse to go completely off the rails, when in fact, being in control of my life (including how I’m eating) tells my body that I am being taken care of. I am in control, I call the shots, things are not happening ‘to me’ but ‘for’ me. This is way better than feeling helpless, which is basically what binge eating and pigging out on carbs is.
❓ Do you go off the rails during challenging times? Do you take control or do you let it control you? 👇
