Low Carb Diet

Low Carb Diet. Information on low carbohydrate diets.

The Featherish Basic Low Carb Diet

What it is:

An easy to follow low carb diet based on the priniciples of several popular low carb diet books. The strong case for the healthiness of a low carb diet is outlined in the book "Life Without Bread" by Allan, Ph.D and Lutz, M.D.. In this book, the authors settle on a system of Bread Units which are equal to 12 grams of carbs. In a day you are allowed 6 Bread Units for a total of 72 grams of carb consumption.

What you will need:

You will need a book to count carbs. One that can be recommended is "The Protein Counter" by Annette B. Nato, Ph.D, R.D. and Jo-Ann Heslin, M.A., R.D. Determination to make the changes necessary to lose weigh and improve your lifestyle.

Essentials:

• A low carb diet can have a benefit for people's health, including but not limited to, losing weight.
• The positive effects of this diet can be felt at 72 grams of carbohydrate intake daily
• A strict induction period is not required .
• The "diet" is actually a lifestyle change which requires a bit of discipline but pays dividends when put into practice
• The system can use a mechanical carb counting method to ensure success
• Use a food journal. Don't guess. Make sure that you correctly and accurately count your carbs. This will help you eliminate the guesswork. You will have a greater chance of success if you track your food consumption.
• Although 72 carbs is the maximum, you can lower this amount if you are looking for quicker results. You can also lower your calorie intake to help speed up your initial weight loss.
• Plan your meals in advance. Don't eat on the fly. This helps you make food mistakes because you're forced to make eating decisions while in a hurry.
• Drink water as your primary beverage. There is no overstating the damage in calories and sugar that beverages can wreak on a low carb diet. Here is a secret: when you force yourself to drink water for a period of time, you will almost assuredly lose your "taste" for many other beverages
• Incorporate exercise in your plans. Diet alone is not enough. You need to get active to help burn stored fat.
• Eat slowly and without stress. Take your time and enjoy each meal.
