Low Carbohydrate Diet - Food Table

RSS Feeds   Text 
There is nothing much to shout about the diet. Stop day dreaming of the variety of foods you will have to forego. As strict dieting on the principles will only leave you that torturous option. More so if you are a vegetarian, the choices available are further cut down. Basically you cut out virtually all carbohydrate from your diet and increase your protein and fat intake. So you cut out things like pasta, bread, rice and alcohol, yet you eat unlimited amounts of meat, cheese and butter. Followers of the diet claim that initial days are fine but then as time increases you get sick and tired of the same kinds of foods. Some people have been found to experience emotional turmoil.

Yes, it is true that [except for clever cooks who are good with spices and food combinations], the Atkins (low-carb) diet is very boring. But consider these points: * Those who need to eat a lot can eat lots of very high protein foods with no problem and no hunger! * For most people, no more worries about weight gain, diabetes, or lipid imbalances that can lead to death from circulatory and cardiac illnesses. * More energy, better sleep, and less depression for many, especially when combined with regular meditation and exercise. You decide.
