Try Low Carb Diet For Quick Weight Loss

There are quite a lot of weight loss diet plans available everywhere. Some are accepted as very effective for a quick weight loss, and some just assume to be effective although not. Some like Atkins diet and South Beach diet are very popular in all parts of the world because of its increasing number of followers that testifies its credibility and effectiveness. But what is it that makes them well accepted?

Diet programs like Atkins and South Beach are well known to be “low carbohydrate diet”. This is also called as “reduced carbohydrate”, “controlled carbohydrate”, or “low glycemic diet”. This diet basically restricts carbohydrate intake by reducing the consumption of carbohydrates from 20 to 60 grams per day and increase the consumption of protein and fat to compensate the calories that are supposed to be taken from carbohydrates.

Low carb diet is usually done to lose weight and treat obesity, but there are also significant benefits this program provides in prevention of diseases like diabetes, cancer and epilepsy.

In a low carb diet, foods that are high in digestible carbohydrates should be limited or avoided. These foods are usually “white”, such as the following:

· White Flour

· White bread

· White rice

· Potatoes

· Pasta

· Sugars

· Full cream milk

In contrast, these high in carbohydrates foods should be replaced with foods that contains higher percentage of proteins, unsaturated fats and omega-3 fatty acids, or those with low carbohydrates, such as:

· Brown rice

· Fruits

· Green leafy vegetables

· Soy products

· Whole grain products

· Lean meat

· Salmon/Tuna

For one to be able to experience a successful healthy weight loss with a low carb diet, it should always be a reminder to choose the “good” than the “bad”. Always opt for “good carbohydrates” or those unprocessed foods like wheat, grain and beans, and eliminate “bad carbohydrates” or those processed foods like pasta and bread. In addition, always go for “good fats” like lean meat, oily fish and nuts, and remove “bad fats” like red meat and dairy products.

It is believed that a consistent and well maintained low carb diet can result to a successful quick weight loss in 28 days. There are weekly phases of controlled intake of foods that should be religiously complied. Scheduled meal plans should be strictly followed along with the commitment to sustain the phases once the desired weight is achieved for lifetime maintenance.
