The Right Meals and Snacks With The Right Proteins
The Otter diet is not an over complex "diet system."
It has it basic rules that are easy to follow, eat
like an otter (envision your plate and see
50% protein / 25% fat / 25%
carbs - in the form of vegetables - see below)
and
watch your portions.
You must avoid evil proteins
|
1. |
Proteins stuck in the middle of bad fats
such as hot dogs, deli meats such as salami or bologna, and breakfast
sausages. Not only do these contain bad fats, but are laden with
chemicals and additives. |
|
2. |
Pseudo proteins like protein bars and
power drinks that are just disguised candy bars and sugar-laden shakes.
Read your labels. |
|
3. |
Deep fried meats. |
|
4. |
Proteins disguised as healthy food, like
farm raised meats and fish treated with antibiotics and hormones. |
|
5. |
Low Carb foods disguised to look like a
high protein foods, such as Low-Carb bagels, breads, and desserts.
|
Convenience Foods For Snacking
Otters need to eat throughout the day
After breakfast, eat protein/fat meals and
snacks regularly through the day (every 3-4 hours).
There are a
lot of protein bars available and it can be hard to tell if your protein bar is
really as nutritious as it says it is. It’s sad to say, but most protein
bars are just as unhealthy as candy bars. Most protein bars have
vitamins, fiber, and protein, but are loaded with sugar or coated in chocolate
to make it taste good.
|
As an Otter, when shopping for protein bars, make sure they do not
contain high levels of fructose, corn syrup, soy protein, juice
concentrates, and hydrogenated oils. Even though there are vitamins
and protein in most of these bars, it is healthier to make something
yourself for energy or protein. |
Sugar
Alcohols Reminder
While technically sugar alcohols are not sugar, their molecular structure is
almost identical. Sugar alcohols increase your glucose levels, can cause heart
disease, and turn into FAT once digested by your body.
Not good for anyone.
Other choices
Otters
who don't have much time to cook in the morning need
to try to eat a healthier breakfast by making
something that’s quick to fix such as:
- Nuts - Just be careful of
the amount
- Beef Jerky
- Turkey Sticks
- Cottage Cheese or String Cheese
- Hard Boiled Eggs
