A new beginning

Over the past year I have had a bit of a falling out with Low Carbing, life was too busy and sometimes that can really wreck a good thing. Anyway for those of your who have come back to read articles of this blog, or even for those of you who are only now discovering this blog; I’d just like to say I’M BACK! Alright well, I should be getting you quite a few new articles up in the very near future and as always I look forward to your comments and support.

What is a Low Carb Diet – if you’re new you SHOULD read this

So if you’re new to this you might be asking yourself, “What is low carb?”, or “What is a low carb diet?” Now the answer is pretty straightforward but it still needs a little explaining. To put it simple a low carb diet is just a eating style that involves eating as little carbohydrates as possible–things such as bread, and noodles, and really pretty much anything made from a grain. Why would someone want to low carb? Generally from my experience there are two types of low carber out there, the ones that want to lose weight, and the ones that don’t feel good when they eat a lot of carbs–carbs can make you feel very run down, and sometimes people can get extremely sleepy after eating carb heavy foods or meals–I am the second one, thought losing a little weight doesn’t hurt for sure. I found out when I was in [...]

Low Carb Bread

In many cases one of the hardest things for a person to give up when they decide to go low carb is bread. We use bread in sandwiches, toast, and many other normal meal items–including pizza crust. I haven’t found myself having too much trouble with this as I usually don’t eat much bread anyway due to a slight wheat allergy, but for many this is a large hurdle to get over. For those of you that just CAN’T drop bread all together, there are actually some pretty interesting “Low Carb Breads” out these days, that can help with that. Here are a few I have found on the internet that may help you out, usually they are slightly different then a normal bread and to some they just aren’t close enough, but for many others they work wonders for their meal options.

So what can you eat? What can you replace crust for pizza with? Making a low carb food list can help you get your thoughts in order and help you plan meals. Planning meals ahead of time sounds difficult for people with busy schedules but its a vital step in low-carbing. If you come home hungry and have nothing prepared to eat right away – you’re likely to head straight for the carbohydrates. So keep these foods in mind and make some low-carb snacks to hold you [...]

If you are looking to lose ten to twenty pounds rather quickly, the high protein low card diet may be one route you should consider. The basic idea of the diet is that, if few carbohydrates are taken in, the body is more quickly forced to burn its own fat for fuel.
