How to Lose Weight With Protein & Gelatin

Low carbohydrate, high protein diets were all the rage a few years ago and for good reason. Low carb diets are one of the fastest weight loss plans available and allow dieters to eat real food in unlimited quantities. The one issue many dieters have is that they miss eating desserts on high protein diets, because sugar and sweets are forbidden. However, gelatin is a versatile, high protein food that can be used to make all sorts of desserts that fit into a high protein diet plan and can help you lose weight.

Instructions

• 1

  Choose a high protein, low carbohydrate diet plan. Atkins, South Beach, Neanderthin and Protein Power are some of the more popular low carb diets available, but there are many others, each with slightly different rules and eating plans. Choose one that suits your lifestyle and eating preferences.

• 2

  Make high protein meal plans. High protein, low carbohydrate diets work mainly due to the absence of carbohydrate, not because of the high level of protein, but there are many other reasons to eat high protein foods. They can help you build and retain muscle and keep you feeling full much longer than carbohydrate foods.

  Add gelatin based desserts to your meal plans. Sugar free Jell-O is a good place to start, but unflavored gelatin can also be used to make high protein desserts like panna cotta, which will help tame your sweet tooth and let you stick to your low carbohydrate diet. Gelatin can also be used to create delicious meat terrines and pates that will fit right into a high protein diet.
