3. Diets

3.3. High-protein

Other than in the keto diet where carbohydrates are replaced by high-fat foods, do other diets that avoid carbohydrates replace them in favour of protein sources, like meat and legumes. This kind of diet has been popular among body builders and was adopted by many people who regularly work out in gyms. The original protein sources, like whey powder and egg white powder are more and more replaced by other protein sources from legumes (lentils, peas, chickpeas), nuts (especially for energy bars) and hemp seed. This has opened new markets for producers of these protein sources.
