2008-12-20 08:07:00 Low-Carb Diet - Should I Or Shouldn't I? was written by James Ellison from low-carb-dieting-secrets.comIt'-s no wonder that confusion reigns when it comes to the worth and reliability of low-carb diets after all the conflicting studies and confusing interpretation of the information. It seems like debates are popping up everywhere!No matter if it's Atkins, South Beach or some other low-carb plan, there are approximately 30 million Americans are on a low-carb diet.Supporters contend that the large amount of carbohydrates in our diet has led to increased problems with obesity, diabetes, and other health situations. On the other hand, some attribute obesity and related health problems to over eating of calories and lack of physical activity. They also express concern that without grains, fruits, and vegetables in low-carbohydrate diets may lead to deficiencies of some key nutrients, including vitamin C, fiber, folic acid, and many minerals.It is already known that any diet, whether h...

Weight Loss Through Low Carb Diet
2008-06-01 04:27:00 By Roy ChanAre you or your family members amongst the 65%?To help with weight issues and for overall improved health, many people turn to diets. In fact, government statistics show that while about 65 percent of Americans are overweight, 38 percent are actually doing something about it.And according to a recent survey by the National Health Institute, about a third of overweight Americans who are trying to lose weight, are doing so by eating less carbohydrates (carbs) largely because of the increased popularity of fad diets like Atkins Diet and the South Beach Diet.Although there have certainly been other low-carb or low-sugar diet plans before, and more will most assuredly come out in the years ahead, let?s take a look at the basics behind many of the major plans. And let?s take a look at how they fit into the real world today. Because while it might be great to lower the body?s sugar content and be healthier, wouldn?t it be great to learn how to do so while being part of this fast...

Eating Less? Low Calorie? Low Carb? They DON'T Work, At Least Not For Long
2008-05-23 09:47:00 You should be familiar with this question from those around you, "Why don't you eat less?" Yes, I know, it's frustrating. They do not understand that you are not going to lose weight simply by eating less. If it were that easy, a search on the term "weight loss" will not return tens of millions of results on Google. The common misconception is that to lose weight, you have to burn more calories than you eat. However, this is not true. What actually happens when you eat less or lower your intake of calories or carb, your body goes into starvation mode. Thinking that you are starving, your body conserves whatever intake of calories and carb afraid that it might not get anymore. The result? All these are stored as fats, your body's energy reserve. It simply uses less and stores more. Now that will be opposite of your weight loss goals, storing and gaining instead of losing and burning more. You might notice some weight loss in the beginning of any form of starvation diet. These are ...

I am a chocolate lover and the elimination diet meant no chocolate so what do you think I wanted to play with first?Chocolate!These are yum so I thought I'd share, these are a low carb version of a Jamie Oliver recipe. Strangely enough, I find these very satisfying. I have another variation that I did the first time which is more chocolaty which you can find in my low carb brownie thread plus another member has posted another recipe which looks good but I haven't tried yet.Now I will tell you straight off, that my taste buds are well adjusted to low carb, so depending on where you are at, you may find you need a little more splenda.

Carb Cycling:The Smart Alternative To Low Carb Diets
2008-05-10 01:16:00 As a sports medicine nutritionist, I am concerned about the lack of awareness and confusion people have over the best way to lose weight. In the 1990?s, we were erroneously told that all fat was bad for us. Now, carbs are being blamed for America?s increasing waistline. Even some athletes have fallen into the low-carb trap. I urge you not to make this same mistake. If you want to lose weight, build muscle, have tons of energy, and even improve your skin and sex drive ? you need to eat carbs. It?s true ? carbs are good for you! You just need to know when and how to eat them.First, let?s dispel some myths about low carb diets like the Atkins diet. It is estimated that nearly 60 million Americans have tried to avoid carbohydrate-rich foods, such as bread, pasta and cereal. Even Burger King is cashing in on this trend by selling a bunless burger! Still, the average person?s weight in this country continues to increase.What is going wrong?

First the basics on low-carb dieting.Q: What are carbs?A: Carbs (carbohydrates) are organic compounds that exist in foods as a sugar, a starch, or a cellulose (a woody fiber). There are two kinds of carbohydrates: Simple (refined) carbohydrates are ?fast? sugars. They break down into sugar fast in your system, and cause a rush of insulin to come to help process the sugar, which then leaves your system unbalanced, with too much insulin. Simple carbs like cake have been stripped of fiber and nutrients, then processed into starchy, sugary foods like white breads, donuts, cookies, white rice, pasta, and such. They sure help you gain weight! They can also lead to a dangerous condition called metabolic syndrome, which can lead to diabetes and other serious health pro...
