Instead of carbohydrates, when you are on a no-carb diet, fat will supply your daily need for energy and protein. Be prepared for your body to go into a state of ketosis, as it will need to convert fat into ketone bodies and use them maintain energy levels. Glucose sugar will help run the rest of your system, which you will get from the conversion of protein through a process called gluconeogenesis.
Meats
No-carb diets are loaded with meats. Eat fish, chicken, beef, and pork. Eggs and sausage in the morning are fine--just do not accompany them with toast or orange juice. Order a chicken breast sandwich without the bread at your local fast food restaurant. Eat the hamburger and throw away the bun. Make sure you remove the skin from the chicken and other meats.
Steaks and roast beef can be delicious and great sources of protein at dinner. For variety, try some exotic meats like veal, lamb, pheasant, quail, duck, goose and venison. Turkey can be enjoyed anytime during the year, not just on Thanksgiving.
Fish
To break away from the red meats, alternate with fish and seafood. Salmon, shrimp, crab and lobster are good choices. Fish fillets such as trout, halibut, cod and herring will help you acquire a distinct taste for each. Scallops, mussels, sardines and oysters can round out your seafood dishes.
Milk and Dairy
Do not hold back on the milk and eggs in the morning. Low-fat milk is better. The eggs can be eaten whole, or separating the whites from the yokes to reduce fat intake. Eat your eggs fried, boiled or poached according to your own tastes. Enjoy all kinds of cheese as a snack or as a melted topping over your meat dishes. Parmesan, cheddar or cream cheese can add flavor and needed fat intake to your no-carb diet.
