You have heard of many low carb diets: Atkins, South Beach, The Zone. Whatever. You probably have mostly heard bad things, but its actually good for you. You cant listen to what people say about low carb, because they dont know what their talking about. Doctors have even asked their patients to go on low carb, have gone low carb themselves, and say its an okay thing to do! So no matter what anyone says, tell them its none of their buisness. First, let me tell you how this works. When you normally eat.. your body burns off the carbs first, THEN the fat. So when the carbs are burned, next is fat..but your body has burned enough so it just stores the fat. You see? So when you see "Low-fat" anywhere..it doesnt really matter. Its just a way of tricking people to buy their products. So by low carbing, you limit your carbs and eat fat. That way, your body gets rid of the small carbs and starts working on the fat! Now, most people when reading or hearing about the low carb diet are scared because they say they cant live with brownies, pasta, bread, potatoes, rice, etc. But millions have done it. Sure, the first few days might be hard..maybe even weeks. But after 2 weeks the cravings will be gone. If you survive the first two weeks, you can survive the rest of your diet. What you CANT eat: Junk food, Bread, Rice, Pasta, Potatoes, Soda, Juice, fruits, nuts.. Now your thinking, well what the heck AM i gonna eat? Eggs, Meat (Chicken, turkey, ham, burger meat, etc.), Lettuce, Cream Cheese, anything low carb! Look for foods that are HIGH in protien/fat, and possibly have fiber, and LOW in carbs. Low carb should be around 1,2,3,4 grams per serving. (meat has low carbs). Believe it or not, you do have millions of choices when eating low carb. You can look up recipes on google just by searching "low carb",,,this diet doesnt have to be boring! You have heard of the low carb ice creams, bars, and other stuff. But you CANNOT have ANY of that stuff until 2 weeks have gone by. Your 2 weeks will be the "strict phase"...where you are really pushing toward low carb and limiting yourself to 25 carbs a day. (You can do it). A great thing about it, is you DONT have to exercise! WOW! Awesome huh? I HIGHLY reccomend getting the book Atkins or South Beach (I would get it for free at the library) this will very much help you on your road to success! I have been on this diet a bunch of times..it always works. Good luck and if you need support, advice, recipes, whatever...ask me!
