Grocery List, Portions, and ConsistencyO’Neal listed fish, chicken, asparagus, other low-carb vegetables, some fruits, and protein shakes as the foods he has been consuming on his results-driven nutrition plan. He added that eating very small portions (several times per day), as well as dedication and consistency for six months assisted with his success, stating he’s getting results he hasn’t seen in over 20 years. The saying “abs are made in the kitchen” is ringing true for Shaq as his nutritional choices are sculpting the six-pack he had back in his 20s. Moderate ExerciseWhile you certainly can lose weight without stepping foot in the gym, Shaq incorporated an exercise regimen of cardio and some weight training. While working out may expedite the weight loss process, it certainly isn’t required to see the number on the scale move in the right direction. Cardio exercise can be used in conjunction with a low-carb dietIf you are someone who partakes in working out, research shows that consuming a low-carbohydrate, ketogenic diet may be recommended to promote fat oxidation during exercise at moderate intensity and at rest. [1]Low-Carb, Higher Protein May Result in KetoIt’s common for dietitians to recommend anywhere from 0. 5 to one gram of protein per pound of body weight to build lean muscle and to lose fat. This protocol along with low-carbohydrate foods facilitates the workings of the ketogenic diet. For example, if one weighs 160 pounds and consumes 90 grams of protein and 30 grams of carbohydrates, based on a 2,000-calorie diet, he’ll have 1,370 calories left to dedicate to fat which equates to 152 grams. Essentially, these macronutrient percentages align with the ketogenic lifestyle.
