Low Carb:
A Scientific Path to Enhanced Metabolism
SoWell’s low carb approach isn’t just about cutting back on sugar. It’s about rethinking how we fuel our bodies, focusing on high-quality proteins and fats to enhance satiety and reduce glycemic spikes.
The Science
Dr. Sowa advocates for a low carb approach primarily to manage and prevent conditions like insulin resistance, diabetes, and PCOS. By reducing carbohydrate intake, this diet lowers blood sugar spikes and insulin levels, promoting fat burning and increasing metabolic efficiency.
Who It's For
Ideal for individuals with metabolic health concerns, those looking to lose more than 10% of their body weight, or anyone struggling with gastrointestinal issues that improve with reduced carb intake.
Foods to Include
Meals typically contain less than 15g of net carbs per serving and focus on high-fiber vegetables, quality fats, and moderate protein sources like leafy greens, avocados, chicken, fish, and nuts.
What it Looks Like
A typical meal might include grilled salmon with a side of steamed broccoli and a mixed green salad topped with olive oil and vinegar.
High Protein:
Building Blocks for Sustained Health & Energy
With at least 25g of protein per meal, SoWell’s high protein diet supports muscle repair and growth, providing lasting energy and improved metabolic rates. Dr. Sowa’s research underscores the importance of protein in maintaining weight loss and promoting overall health.
The Science
High protein diets enhance satiety, reduce hunger, and prevent muscle loss during weight loss, as protein has a high thermogenic effect and stimulates the production of hormones that signal fullness. This approach supports tissue repair, muscle growth, and metabolic health.
Who It's For
Best suited for individuals in the maintenance phase of their weight management, those who find other diets restrictive, or beginners to healthy eating who need more structured yet flexible options.
Foods to Include
Each meal includes at least 25g of protein, focusing on lean meats, dairy products, legumes, and fish. Foods like chicken breasts, Greek yogurt, lentils, and tuna are staples.
What it Looks Like
A sample high protein meal could be a turkey and quinoa stuffed pepper with a side of Greek yogurt mixed with fresh berries.
