Easy Suggestions for Eating Low Carb

By Ron Stucky


Because of diets like Atkins and South Beach, people are becoming more carb conscious. Carbohydrates usually get the blame when someone is having weight problems. However, it's important to realize that not all carbs are bad. There are good carbs, as well. Athletes eat foods rich in carbs before an event for a reason. Good carbs are an excellent source of energy. Despite what you may have read in an Atkins diet book, cutting out all carbohydrates is not healthy. The key to eating healthy is to eat a low amount of good carbs. The following tips will help you do just that.

Eating lots of meat is considered one of the perks of eating a low carb diet by some. When starting on a low carb diet, many look forward to this part of the plan. Many low carb diets encourage eating meat because most meats don't have carbs. Some good options are beef, chicken, and seafood. So when you see a person eating a hamburger wrapped in lettuce instead of on a bun, this is the reason. This is good news for those who enjoy eating a lot of meat.

Salads are rich in fruits, vegetables and even meats sometimes. All these tasty foods are low in carbohydrates. So, enjoy! Continue your persuit of a natural food diet. You will have greater success with your low carb diet by avoiding prepackaged alternatives. Don't listen to those low carb bar and splenda advertisements that claim to be good for you they aren't. Not a good idea to use these as an alternative. These don't do anything for you. Natural foods take care of the needs your body is experiencing. The body isn't fooled by those low carb bars although the mind may be. A handful of nuts can treat that craving for a candy bar. It's like having a Payday bar without the goo.

Many assume getting to eat all the meat they want is the best part of a low carb diet. While this is partly true-meat is, after all, carb free (for the most part)-it is also true that you can't eat just any old cut of meat. Meat, even if it doesn't have carbs, does have fat and other elements that aren't healthy. You should be using lean cuts of meat when preparing your meals and snacks. Be sure to get lean cuts of the beef, chicken, and fish already mentioned. When you limit the fat in your meat dishes, you will feel even better.

So many people think that eating low carb means eating boring food. They think that it means giving up the foods and snacks that they love. But eating a low carb diet isn't that different from eating a balanced diet. You would be surprised by how many low carb alternatives there are to high carb foods. Many people are happy to discover that eating low carb doesn't make a big difference in their lives at all. These tips will make the transition to a low carb diet even easier.
