Tasty Tips for Low Carb Diets

By Bob Steele


People are becoming more carb conscious thanks to diets such as Atkins and South Beach. Carbohydrates usually get the blame when someone is having weight problems. There are various kinds of carbohydrates and not all of them are bad. There are good carbs, as well. Athletes load on carbohydrates before an event for a reason. Good carbohydrates give your body a needed energy source. The trick to eating well is not to cut out all carbs (doing that is very unhealthy no matter what is written in those Atkins books). The key to eating healthy is to eat a low amount of good carbs. The following tips will help you do just that.

Salads are a great way to eat low carb. This are especially easy during the summer time. There is nothing like eating a big salad for lunch or dinner when it is too hot out to cook.

Salads can be loaded with fruits vegetables and in some cases, meat. These are all foods that are low in carbs and quite tasty. So feel free to enjoy! Fruit is an excellent choice for a low carb diet. This is one low carb hint that you really should use. Fruit is a good way to appease your sweet tooth. Because fruits do not have that many carbs, it is a good way to control your sweet attacks. As well as being low in carbs, fruit has many nutrients and vitamin that your body requires to stay healthy. Fruits can give you things such as vitamin C, which is a required thing that makes your immune system work properly. They are also good for giving you fiber.

Cheese is a great snack if you are trying to eat a low carb diet. Most cheeses do not contain carbs. Reading the nutrition label before eating too much will help keep your carbs in check. Some cheeses, like feta, contain a small amount of carbohydrates. Talk to your doctor or a nutritionist if you'd like to use cheese as a healthy snack in your low carb diet. The amount of carbs a cheese has is mainly determined by how it is made.

So many people think that eating low carb means eating boring food. Many also believe they will have to give up their favorite foods and snacks. The truth is that eating low carb diets isn't all that different than eating a normal healthy diet. But you can find a number of low carb alternatives to the high carb foods that you love. Many people are happy when they find that following a low carb diet won't affect their lives much at all. Use these tips to help you make the transition to low carb even easier.
