Example Diet Without Carbohydrates

The following indications are for information purposes only. They are not intended to replace the opinion of professional persons as a doctor, nutritionist, or dietist, whose intervention is necessary for the prescription and composition of personalized food therapies.

Diet without carbohydrates

I would prefer not to say too much about the carbohydrate-free food regime because, in every respect, it is an incorrect, senseless and harmful practice.

Let us begin by saying that:

Although not defined as essential because of our partial liver capacity to produce them (glycerol glucogenesis, amino acids, and lactic/pyruvic acid), in human nutrition, food carbohydrates are essential molecules for the organism. The most appropriate term for defining carbohydrates would be SEMI-ESSENTIAL (as well as for specific amino acids). As their dietary scarcity plays a limiting role only in specific inputs and about the level of physical activity of the subject.

Carbohydrates are simple or complex energy macro-nutrients (3,75kcal/g), present more in food of plant origin (glucose, fructose, starch) than in feed (glycogen, lactose).

In this regard, it must be clear to all readers that (regardless of the current of thought and food philosophy) carbohydrates cannot be excluded from the diet.

Since, among the various molecules indispensable to the organism, there are ONLY (or mostly) in foods of plant origin.

Therefore, by ensuring that the recommended ratios for these micro and macro elements are achieved, it would be impossible to completely dispense with carbohydrates in the diet.

To find out more:

Diet Low Carb

The molecules whose contribution is absolutely linked to the presence of vegetable carbohydrates are:

  • Food fiber, viscous and non-viscous
  • Vitamin C, beta-carotene, phenolic compounds, chlorophylls, figs (other antioxidants), etc.
  • Phytosterols-phytoestrogens
  • Prebiotics etc.

The molecules whose contribution is partly linked to the presence of vegetable carbohydrates in the diet are:

  • Folic acid, Vit. K, vit. E
  • Potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg)

NOTE: It should be recalled that many vitamins in the plants are found in the animal liver (offal) as a reserve organ. However, vegetables and fruit are the only foods that maintain the structural integrity of the THERMOLABLE nutrients, which are otherwise partially inactivated by the cooking of offal.

A carbohydrate-free diet is a highly restrictive, NOT health-friendly diet, usually used in the definition/cutting of culturism/bodybuilding. Fortunately, even the top ranks in the class today advise against a carbohydrate-free diet… but it seems that habits are hard to die!

Carbon-free diet supplements

Paradoxically, the most helpful addition to a carbohydrate-free diet would be carbohydrate-based. A maltodextrin product in support of training could enable a bodybuilder to maintain their health for longer. Moreover, those practicing carbohydrate-free diets should integrate with pre-biotic, multivitamins fiber with ascorbic acid, carotenoids and tocopherols, and mineral salts with the prevalence of potassium and magnesium.

Trainers could benefit from the anti-catabolic action of branched amino acids (BCAA) to be taken before, during, and after training.

NOTE: Food supplements of protein powder are often chosen to allow easy consumption and/or variability of food choices.

Diet Without Carbohydrates: example

NOTE: Reaffirming that the carbohydrate-free diet is totally unbalanced and potentially harmful, an example of this will be presented in the following example. Which is characterized by the absence of glucosidic-prevalent foods, seeking to deliver at least 30 g/die (consisting mainly of fructose and lactose), as close as possible to 30 g/die of food fiber (recommended ration).
