Simple But Tasty Plans For Low Carb Diets

By Ron Stucky


There are many types of diets, but those focusing on low carbohydrates are the most prevalent. The fact is, even if you want to lose weight, you don't want to give up carbohydrates entirely, as you need some of them for energy. Some carbs are better for you than others, and you don't want to consume too many carbs of any kind. No matter how many pounds you want to lose, then, you don't want to fall into the trap of thinking that all carbs are bad. Carbs from natural, unprocessed sources are best, and even these should be eaten in moderation. So let's explore some ways you can start following a sensible and effective low carb diet.

As long as you choose roasted items, going out to eat won't be that bad. Fried or braised foods are mainly the menu items, but there should be a couple of roasted items for you to pick from. You should be able to find a place that cooks their vegetables by roasting. French fries can be traded in for roasted potatoes, but a salad would still be a better choice. You don't want fried food or braised food, because they involve high carb ingredients, or oil, so when you go to a restaurant, roasting is the healthiest choice.

Carbohydrates are easy to eliminate from your diet, if you will make all of the food you eat. Most of us indulge in high carb foods at lunch time because it is easier to jet through a drive through than it is to pack a lunch. To take the low carb option that is much healthier, lunch would be better for you, if it was leftovers from the low carb dinner the night before. The reason so many people are overweight is because of the unhealthy foods that come from a drive through, that are horrible for waistlines, because of the high carbs, so packing a tasty lunch is the way to go.

Are you a pasta lover? You may be secretly dreading a low carb diet that forbids you to eat pasta. It's commonly believed that there's no room for pasta if you're limiting carbohydrates in your diet. Fortunately, this isn't the case. You simply have to try different kinds of pasta, ones made from healthier, whole grain and gluten free flours.

The advantage of going to a professional is that he or she can examine you and talk to you, so you'll be getting advice that's specifically for you.
