CHOOSING TO FOLLOW A LOW CARBOYDRATE LIFESTYLE?

Carbs and carbs alone, not fat, increases body weight. It doesn't matter whether the carbs are from sugar, bread, fruit, or vegetables: They’re all rapidly digested and quickly converted to blood glucose. The basic premise of all low carb diet plans is this: EATING FAT does NOT make us fat! Rather, eating an over-abundance of processed carbohydrates is what causes us to become obese and to suffer from all kinds of obesity-related diseases. While plans differ in the amount and type of carbs "allowed" - from as low as 20g per day to quite a bit more, keeping the amount of carbohydrates eaten lower than the average is the cornerstone of the low carb diet lifestyle. Many find low carb eating is a lot easier than they thought it could be... once you get past the initial week or so, your cravings and appetite decreases, your energy increases, and - well, the weight comes off!
