Myths About Low Carb Diets

admin — Mon, 06 Sep 2010 01:23:26 +0000

There are a lot of myths and misconceptions about low-carb diets. Anti-low carb information often draws an image of people eating very unhealthy diets, with no vegetables or fruits, guzzling cream and eating bacon dipped in butter all day. We are supposedly courting heart disease, and are on a dangerous road to poor health. The truth is that low-carb diets focus on nutritious, healthy food, and research into reducing carbs continues to show more and more positive results. Here are the myths about low-carb diets I hear most often. 1. Low Carb = No Carb This misconception is the idea that a low-carb diet must be really really low in carbohydrates. You will read that low carb diets attempt to eliminate carbohydrates, for example. Fact: Not one low-carb diet author advocates this. Even Atkins Induction, which is very low in carbohydrates, is not no carb, is only meant to last two weeks, and actually can be skipped altogether, according to the Atkins Web site. Fact: Diet authors who recommend reducing carbs have all sorts of different ideas about carb levels. Fact: The carbohydrate level should be adjusted to the individual. Fact: Over the years, the nutritional establishment has been gradually lowering the range of recommended carbohydrate in the diet, at the same time condemning reduced-carb diets, some of which may be recommending the lower end of the new accepted range, or close to it. Example: Dr. Dean Edell, a prominent media physician, once stated that the Zone Diet, a …

Low Carb Diet – Just common Sense

admin — Thu, 26 Aug 2010 00:22:06 +0000

Low-carbohydrate diets are nutritional programs that advocate restricted carbohydrate consumption. Low carb diets are based on the principle that a diet low in carbohydrates leads to decreased production of body’s insulin, resulting in consumption of fat stores as energy source. Low-carb diets are usually higher in fat. And fat takes longer to digest, which makes you feel fuller longer. Most low-carb diets reduce your overall calorie intake because they strictly limit the variety of foods you can eat.
Carbohydrates — including bread, pasta, rice, cereals, milk, fruit and sweets — usually supply over half of people’s daily calories. Many carbohydrate-containing foods are loaded with essential vitamins, minerals, fiber and other substances that promote health. While eliminating “white” carbs, such as white bread, white rice and white pasta, is fine to do, incorporating whole grains, fruits and other natural carbs is essential. And while you do need carbohydrates, take in moderation if there is little or no weight loss cut the carbs.

7 REASONS WHY YOU MAY NOT BE LOSING WEIGHT
1. Too many carbs

3. Muscle growth
4. Too much protein
5. Medications
6. Too much exercise
7. Stress

Keep in mind that your body is constantly adjusting to any new changes you make in your diet and exercise routine, so your individual response to these changes will vary from what others experience. DON’T compare yourself to the progress you see other people are having and ALWAYS remember that livin’ la vida low-carb is about a permanent lifetime way of eating, not just some fad diet you’re on for a short period of time. Wrap your head around that concept and it will serve you well in your low-carb life.

admin — Mon, 29 Jun 2009 16:49:19 +0000

http://LivinLaVidaLowCarb.com/blog blogger Jimmy Moore and his wife Christine wanted to share just a few of the REAL FOODS you should be eating and enjoying as part of your low-carb lifestyle in the latest installment of their popular “Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb on YouTube” series.

In Episode 75, Jimmy and Christine show you how to enhance the quality of your low-carb menus by including fresh locally-grown produce as well as locally-raised Vitamin D-rich eggs from a farmer’s market http://www.localharvest.org , some local omega-3 fatty acid-filled grass-fed beef http://www.eatwild.org , and local raw milk that has not been homogenized or pasteurized http://www.realmilk.org . Most of what you get from your local grocery store or supermarket is mass produced, highly manufactured, from cooped up animals, and grain-fed. EWWWW! Yes, these higher quality foods may be a little more costly now, but the dividends to your health make them so worth it! And YOUR HEALTH is worth the added expense, right?
