Low Carb Diet
Low carbohydrate diets are said to be
great for those who want to lose weight as well as
those who are not overweight as a reduced carbohydrate
lifestyle can maintain their health and vitality.
There are lots of different versions of the low-carb
diet – The Atkins Diet being one. They all work
on the same premise however - a very strict reduction
in the consumption of carbohydrates.
A low-carb diet may be suitable for you if you like
to ‘snack’ or ‘graze’ as you
can eat until you're full, as long as you eat only
allowed foods. The allowed foods include meat, fish,
poultry, cheese and eggs, and a limited amount of
green vegetables.
As with most diets, stray onto ‘Not allowed
foods’ list (which include all foods with sugar
in it eg soft drinks, pasta and rice) and your diet
will fail.
While reducing your carbohydrate intake, you are
encouraged to eat more fats – but good fats!
These are fats such as olive oil, butter, lard, fish
oil, tallow, palm kernal oil, peanut oil, and flaxseed
oil.
There are tons of low-carbohydrate recipe books and
even low carb recipes online, so finding interesting
