Any suggestions for tasty, zesty snacks that i can have that are high in protein, and very very little on the carbs?
Im on this new high protein diet, and im finding it hard at first to deal with...
Thanks!

How did you find out about this diet? Is it just something you are following on your own, or is it part of some program? I'm guessing you're on your own, or else it would be explained to you about what to eat and the routine etc.

The high-protein, low-carb diet is very popular. I was put on it when I joined an aerobics class. Your body burns carbs first, then fat. So the theory is, the less carbs you have, the quicker your energy will go to burn the fat. Try snacking on little packs of lunch meat. celery and peanut butter, raisins...It's a good idea to pre-pack these snacks so you can grab and go. Otherwise you will be more likely to grab some chips or something mroe handy. Let me know how things go for ya!

Also, there are nutrition bars that are based on high protein that you can carry around with you. And there's always cheese - string cheese is a good snack. Good luck.

Spicy pork rinds! I loved them when I was on the low carb diet. They are probably the only 0-carb snack on the market. If you take to them, you'll love them. My boyfriend doesn't care for them, but everyone else I know is crazy about them. Give them a try! If you don't like the spicy, get the plain.
