2)Adding more protein: Add a bit of egg and meat in your diet. The key is to add 1gram of protein per pound of body weight. You can then gradually increase it to 1.25, 1.5 and so on.

3)Types of carbs: Carbs are supposed to be consumed from more suitable sources like Brown and white rice, sweet and white potatoes, raw oatmeal, quinoa. Avoid other junky carb sources such as desserts, cereal, pasta etc.

b)You may also have different days with the different amount of carb intake as in 4 days for low and 1 day of high intake. You should cycle on a 5-day basis.

5)Cheat wisely: Cheating on a diet isn’t a good thing at all. You may cheat once a week but not to go overboard on it. Prefer to avoid cheating while on a low carb diet. Don’t fool yourself, you aren’t doing all the hard work just to let it go in vain.
