| Low Carb Foods - How and Why? | |
 | |
|
The goal of this site is to teach you how and why to eat low carb (low-carb), and just as importantly, what to eat and how and where to buy products that are acceptable. It is possible to lose weight, drop your cholesterol, triglycerides, blood pressure, and to prevent heart attack, stroke, and prevent or maintain Diabetes, as well as a way to improve your overall health and lower your risks of serious and/or fatal health problems, by changing to the low carb program. It is the only and smart way to go. Because so many people already know, or at least have a good idea how to start low carbing due to the media, books, magazines, news, and word of mouth, I am not going to go into all the little details. If you read the first few pages of this site, you will have the basic idea on how and why to do it, and how and why everything that has been outlined is possible. I have also included in this site the difference between healthy carbs and unhealthy carbs, low carb recipes, a list of low carb foods, a free carb counter, and information on what a diabetic should eat to control their insulin and sugar levels. Knowing the difference between low carbohydrates vs. high carbohydrates, and how they impact the body and it's metabolism is a MUST. Despite the fact that some people view the Glycemic Index different then a eating low carb, I see it as one more tool to help, not hinder deciphering between good carbs vs. bad carbs. I have tried to cover all of these topics in an easy and clear way of understanding that "You are what you eat"! The best way to understand a low carb diet, is by understanding what carbohydrates are (see the "Understanding Carbs" page), and how they impact your body. Because there is a lot of misunderstanding about the low carb diet, I have tried to explain the "how" and "why" aspects, as well as clinical trials, food substitutions, an indepth explanation of diabetes and why most Diabetics are on a roll-a-coaster ride, as well as an array of information concerning your cholesterol, triglycerides, high blood pressure, stroke and other diseases, which can be controlled, and in some cases even prevented, by the use of determining "healthy food" and "unhealthy foods". This program is far beyond just losing weight, but maintaining your weight once you reach your goal. It is not a temporary diet, but a way of improving your general health overall, while gaining more energy at the same time. If you do this program correctly, you should never go hungry, or miss your favorite foods. There are suggestions throughout the site that will aid you to eating the meals you like, as well as the desserts, breads, and snacks.
as well as an enormous amount of low carb food related information. A GOOD ATTITUDE A person can choose to feel depressed and discouraged because they have a health or weight problem, or they can choose to make a conscience effort to do something about it. A good suggestion is to turn this diet into a "HOBBY'. Turn grocery shopping into a scavenger hunt for "low carb" foods. Use your imagination to come up with new recipes and food substitutions. Create your own personal cookbook. Educate yourself on low carbohydrate dieting and all the benefits you will derive from eating in this manner. Don't be scared to change the recipes you currently use to low carb recipes by changing the ingredients. This website is not to be construed as medical advice. It is strongly encouraged that you seek advice from your personal physican prior to starting any diet. All information has been researched through various newspapers, magazines, television shows, the internet, and interviews with various persons, including doctors and nutritionalists.
