Hi. I should follow a low protein, complex carb diet. Is there somewhere on this site to see what that looks like in terms of meal ideas?

there are recipes on the site and I think it is more protein oriented. It also depends somewhat on brain type. The diet is helping me.

Astrosand- There are great recipe ideas under the Nourish my Brain tab. What brain type are you? If your doctor recommended a low protein diet for medical reasons, you may need to modify some of the recipes to the recommended amount of protein per meal, as most include about 30% protein for blood sugar stabilizing and feeling of fullness. You may need to decrease the amount of protein, and increase the amount of vegetables and fats so you won’t be hungry at the end of the meal. Hope that helps!

Oh, ok great! The amount of protein level you need depends on your body weight and activity level, but if a typical amount is about 30% of your food, aim for more like 15-20% to be considered “low”. And remember to have plenty of healthy fats to keep you feeling satisfied!

Sure! Try to get most of your complex carbohydrates from vegetables, including Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, sweet potatoes, and occasionally quinoa, and gluten free oatmeal. These are high fiber carbohydrates that give you great nutritional value without spiking your blood sugar. Make sure to balance them with nuts, seeds, and organic proteins like chicken, fish, eggs, and turkey.
