| Are You Ready For Low Carb | | 2008-07-21 23:02:00 | | Everyone’s been talking about low carb diets. While most people tend to associate it with South Beach or Atkins, there are actually quite a few books that centre on the principle of cutting out the carbs: Sugar Busters, Protein Power, The Zone Diet, Carbohydrates Addict Diet. They differ on how strict they are about carbohydrate intake—what you can eat, and not eat, or how much you are later allowed to eat in the later phases of the diet—but as a whole, they agree on one thing: carbs are bad.The Carbohydrate PrincipleWhich makes you wonder: what’s so bad about carbs? The belief is that when you control carbohydrates, you lower your body’s production of insulin. Insulin gives your body the “quick fix” of energy (which is why, after eating carbs, you get the famous sugar rush). But without carbs, your body’s forced to use your body’s fat and protein stores.Low carb diets can lead to rapid weight loss, but nutritionists are debating whether or not it should be continued ... | | By: Living Healthy Life | | |
| | Weight Loss Through Low Carb Diet | | 2008-05-31 21:27:02 | | By Roy ChanAre you or your family members amongst the 65%?To help with weight issues and for overall improved health, many people turn to diets. In fact, government statistics show that while about 65 percent of Americans are overweight, 38 percent are actually doing something about it.And according to a recent survey by the National Health Institute, about a third of overweight Americans who are trying to lose weight, are doing so by eating less carbohydrates (carbs) largely because of the increased popularity of fad diets like Atkins Diet and the South Beach Diet.Although there have certainly been other low-carb or low-sugar diet plans before, and more will most assuredly come out in the years ahead, let’s take a look at the basics behind many of the major plans. And let’s take a look at how they fit into the real world today. Because while it might be great to lower the body’s sugar content and be healthier, wouldn’t it be great to learn how to do so while being part of this... | | By: tips n trick diets success | | |

| | Carb Cycling:The Smart Alternative To Low Carb Diets | | 2008-05-09 18:16:44 | | As a sports medicine nutritionist, I am concerned about the lack of awareness and confusion people have over the best way to lose weight. In the 1990’s, we were erroneously told that all fat was bad for us. Now, carbs are being blamed for America’s increasing waistline. Even some athletes have fallen into the low-carb trap. I urge you not to make this same mistake. If you want to lose weight, build muscle, have tons of energy, and even improve your skin and sex drive – you need to eat carbs. It’s true – carbs are good for you! You just need to know when and how to eat them.First, let’s dispel some myths about low carb diets like the Atkins diet. It is estimated that nearly 60 million Americans have tried to avoid carbohydrate-rich foods, such as bread, pasta and cereal. Even Burger King is cashing in on this trend by selling a bunless burger! Still, the average person’s weight in this country continues to increase.What is going wrong?

| | Low Carb Foods Role in Weight Loss Diet Plan | | 2007-12-18 05:21:00 | | There is possibly no effective weight loss diet plan without including low carb foods in it. Few years back the craze was with low fat or fat free diet for attaining and maintaining a healthy weight. In some ways, this craze was beneficial to health, but in some other ways, it was not. For example, fat free milk is good for health; however, low fat cookies may offer high calories almost similar... | | By: healthy life | | |
| | Carbophobia - More Low Carb Nonsense | | 2007-10-10 04:51:00 | | I saw this article in the NY Times today about a new book, which surprisingly enough is plugging the new "low carb renaissance" as one of my peers called it a little while ago. Please do read it until the end before making any judgements. I have highlighted in red what I consider the crucial facts to bear in mind before leaping onto this latest bandwagon as so many will without doubt do.... (....sigh!)I have reproduced the article in full and also linked to the original site here NY TimesCarbophobia By GINA KOLATA Published: October 7, 2007 Gary Taubes is a brave and bold science journalist who does not accept conventional wisdom. In “Good Calories, Bad Calories,” he says what he wants is a fair hearing and rigorous testing for ideas that might seem shocking. GOOD CALORIES, BAD CALORIES - Challenging the Conventional Wisdom on Diet, Weight Control, and Disease. By Gary Taubes. 601 pp. Alfred A. Knopf. $27.95. His thesis, first introduced in a much-debated article in The New York Times Magazine in 2002 challenging the low-fat diet orthodoxy, is that nutrition and public health research and policy have been driven by poor science and a sort of pigheaded insistence on failed hypotheses. As a result, people are confused and misinformed about the relationship between what they eat and their risk of growing fat. He expands that thesis in the new book, arguing that the same confused reasoning and poor science has led to misconceptions about the relation between diet and heart disease, high blood pressure, cancer, dementia, diabetes and, again, obesity. When it comes to determining the ideal diet, he says, we have to “confront the strong possibility that much of what we’ve come to believe is wrong.” The best diet, he argues, is one loaded with protein and fat but very low in carbohydrates.Taubes spent five years working on the book, which runs to more than 450 pages.

| | Why A Low Carb Diet Is A Different Weight Loss Experience | | 2007-06-01 21:39:00 | | If you are no stranger to the diet world, you are probably wondering what the difference is between the low calorie diets and the low carb diets. Scientists doing high protein low carb diet research have found that there is a dramatic difference in the way our bodies respond to the two basic types of dieting.The low carbohydrate diets have one obvious difference - they are much lower in starches and sugars. But that is not the important difference in this case. It's how our metabolism and bodily functions react to the change in food intake.It's a "Need" Versus "Want" DilemmaIn the more traditional approach to weight loss programs, the main emphasis is placed on the amount of food ingested and the number of calories consumed. A major difference with the low carb diets is the focus tends to be not on how much you eat, but rather how much you want to eat. BIG difference here. It's a matter of limiting the supply of food to the body versus altering the body's demand for food.Our bodies... | | By: Healthy Diets | | |
| | How About A Million Pound Low-Carb March? | | 2007-04-02 00:47:00 | | With the success of my blog has come a flood of e-mails from all kinds of people passing on blog post ideas that they think would interest me. I have to be honest with you and let you know that most of these go right into File 13. Sure, I’ll hang on to them for a while and consider whether they need to become a blog post or not. But most of the time, they become trash.

First, take one packet of Big Train drink mix, any flavor of the "ice" ones will do. (Drink mix available here. I recommend this product!) The packet calls for a 1/2 cup of Half n' Half. Substitute in Whipping Cream. This gives it it's thickness. Then make it the way the package recommends - a 1/2 cup water... | | By: Carbohydrate Addict | | |
