You may be considering a low carb diet program, but
wonder if they really work, and if so, how well?
Let’s take the mystery out of low carb diets by giving
you the 3 most important elements to their success.
First, you need to bring your carboydrate cravings under
control. Some diet programs argue that most of us are
addicted to carbohydrates. Others take a more moderate
approach and link it to the glycemic index.
All of the low carb diets are consistent on this one fact
though – you need to overcome short-term cravings to ensure
long term weight loss success.
There is definite scientific proof linking simple
carbohydrates, such as sugar, to cravings you have for
more food.
Second, you need to focus on better carbs versus the worse
carbs. What that means is simply that you must consider
which carbohydrates result in more glucose spikes being
created by your body.
Simple carbs are quickly absorbed and result in significant
glucose spikes which, can result in more fat being stored in
your body. Low carb diets balance overall carbohydrate
input with the quality and type of carbohydrates.
Just by reducing the simple carbs in your diet such as sugar,
milk, some fruit you can make a big difference in curbing
your cravings for more food.
Third, you must gain confidence in the delicious foods you
are able to eat on low carb diets so that you stick with
the change. You cannot expect to achieve long term success
with your diet program if you are not educated or satisfied
with the amazing alternative foods at your disposal.
Low carb diets can lead to weight loss, health benefits and
an entire lifestyle change – however you don’t have to give
up everything you enjoy in order to experience rapid weight
loss.
By focusing on foods that trigger chemical and biological
reactions in your body resulting in cravings, you can burn
fat and increase your health at the same time.
