Review
Summary |
Nutrition from food is divided up into 3 categories: proteins, carbohydrates, and fats. Protein can be obtained from any meat or dairy product as well as some vegetables and legumes. Carbohydrates are present in fruits, vegetables, and grains. Fats are fat, what can we say; oils, butter, lard from animal fat, and so on. In the following review, we will look closely at the finer points of a low card diet.

Consuming fewer carbohydrates has its benefits if they are processed carbohydrates. It’s no secret that eating too much sugar (the major culprit of obesity and weight related chronic diseases) is slowly killing off Americans as well as other developed nations. Therefore, the first hurdle you will have to jump as you adjust to a low carbohydrate diet is adjusting your appetite away from all the refines sugars and grains present in most of the typical food choices. One tip that many find useful when learning to eat fewer carbohydrates is to avoid shopping the interior shelves of the supermarket; that is where you find the processed foods: prepared (a.k.a. processed) foods, cereals, juice drinks, candies, even most of the salad dressings. By the way, dining out usually means taking in more carbohydrates than your body requires.
So what do you eat on a low carbohydrate diet? Many of the more popular (not necessarily healthier) low carb diets require that you consume protein, and lots of it. This is not a good thing to do long term because too much protein in the body has its health risks as well. Most vegetables, some fruits and dairy products are admissible on a low carbohydrate diet. All of the “safe” foods on a low carb diet are typically located on the perimeter of a supermarket, so there’s another tip for when you shop for your low carb diet.

| Information |
|
When you see a diet that is labeled as a low carb diet, it usually will limit your intake of complex carbohydrates from fruits, vegetables and whole grains, however, most of the time it limits something referred to as simple carbohydrates. The word simple can be interpreted as processed or easily metabolized carbohydrates. One of ways you can see the difference is eating an orange versus drinking orange juice. The orange with all its fiber takes longer for the body to break down and use, which requires more calories to be burned as it is metabolized. When juice is consumed the body instantly acquires the nutrition because little break down is required, and then it stores what it cannot use in the form of fat on the body if it doesn’t need it.
