Revolt Workout - 1 Dimensional Dieting

1 Dimensional dieting is a term I coined that refers to foods that contain all (or mostly) one macronutrient.  These foods are only carbohydrates, only protein, or only fat.  By default these 1 dimensional foods are obviously less calorie dense.   The reason I find thins useful is that when eating this way it allows you to eat more volume, which is very helpful when you are forced to limit calorie intake for weight loss.  Instead of eating 1 piece of food that has some carbs and some protein, you eat two separate items that contain only those items.  Eat more, feel less deprived. 
 
Some examples of 1 dimensional foods:
Protein:

• Chicken
• Fish
• Whey Protein

 
Carbohydrates:

• Rice
• Oatmeal
• Vegetables/Fruit
• Cereal
• Low fat pretzels

 
Fats:

• Oils

 
This is not a groundbreaking theory, it is basically finding food that is lower in fat and thus lower in calories.  I don't usually look for 1 dimensional fats since fats will come with most foods anyway.
 
Beyond the 1 dimensional foods I also look for very low calorie foods that you can eat a lot of when you are dieting (again, more volume helps you feel full).  Some of my favorites are sugar free gelatin, sugar free jelly, and diet sodas.  I know they have "chemicals" but these have never effected my diets, and they might not effect yours… you won't know until you try.  Plus, food quality IS important but it is not MOST important.  Check out my Hierarchy of Dieting for more info on that.
