HIGH PROTEIN DIET
(Dairy Included)
            This diet is designed to help promote lean muscle mass in a balanced diet.  It is particularly recommended for athletes who are looking to gain strength and loose weight.  It is low in carbohydrates and fats which are the bodies primary source of energy.  The reason these two macronutrients are limited is because what your body doesn’t burn off as fuel is automatically stored as fat.  On the other hand protein can also be converted to energy but is never stored on the body as fat.  Protein is also required for muscle repair and growth.  Complex carbohydrates and fruit are limited and recommended earlier in the day for the best energy/performance and best weight loss results.  Incorporating nonfat dairy products makes the diet a bit more realistic and manageable over a long period of time then the Non Dairy High Protein Diet, it also provides you with more protein options throughout the day.    
Water Intake:  Drink at least half your weight (lbs) in ounces, drink more depending on your activity level. 1 Gallon
