Are you new to low
carbing? Don't worry. I'll give some
basics to get you started. There are many
good reasons to live this way of life.
Low carbohydrates diets are good to aid
in leveling out blood sugar levels,
weight loss, and reducing high
cholresterol just to name a few.
To get started:
1. Drink water until
you float! -seriously. Drinking water
helps to flush the fat cells out of your
body.
2. Set reasonable
goals. I recommend reading a book on the
low carb program of your choice(Mine is
Protein Power). I set my goals according
to my bodyfat ratios.
3. Don't plan to lose
all the weight right away. It took you a
while to gain it and it will take a while
to lose it. Don't get discouraged it will
happen!
4. Stay away from foods
that contain sugar. As you continue in
this lifestyle, your cravings for sugar
will diminish.
5. Use a carbohydrate
gram counter to tabulate your daily
intake.
6. Keep a weight loss
diary. This will help you find your weak
areas and deal with them.
7. Cheating is natural
in dieting. Pick your self up, dust your
self off and start again your very next
meal.
I hope these tips help
you the way they have helped me. I also
recommend measuring yourself once a week.
Sometimes you will not lose weight but,
will lose inches as you body
"shifts" your fat deposits.
