How to Eat a Low Carb Diet Without Going Hungry

By Wilson Resturbee


The total elimination of carbohydrates from the diet is what a lot of people advocate. There are dozens of diets, including South Beach, Atkins, and others, that believe the reason you cannot lose weight is because of eating carbohydrates. This might be true, but, probably not. You need to eliminate the bad carbohydrates, but keep eating the good carbohydrates. Those that are good are okay to eat in moderate amounts, and the bad you should stay away from completely. Losing weight takes a good diet plan, and nutritionists and doctors can put one together for you. For the time being, these few tips on dieting will at least get you on the right course.

No matter what diet you try, if you do one that is based on eating no carbohydrates, lots of meat will be your main course for your meals. On these diets you are encouraged to eat so much meat because meat has the necessary nutrients to stay healthy, but carbs have the same nutrients. Of all the problems caused by having too much meat in your diet, the worst are raising your cholesterol, as well as increasing the possibility of heart disease. As with any health plan, you should eat pork, seafood, chicken, and beef in only moderate amounts. Overindulging can wreak havoc on your system. Is cheese something you can't live without? Is giving it up, something that concerns you? Cheese can still be eaten when you choose to go on a low carbohydrate diet, so that should be good news. Truthfully, there are hardly any carbohydrates contained in most cheeses. It is important, however, to double-check if the type of cheese you like the most is truly low in carb or carb free before you start chowing down. The processed cheeses that are popular in the US, for example, usually contain high amounts of fat and oil so make sure that you're not simply giving up the carbs for a more unhealthy alternative.

Many people are passionate about pasta -are you one of them? Many people would place it near the top of their favorite foods list. Maybe you read somewhere that anyone on a low carb diet has to say goodbye to pasta forever. Fortunately, this isn't the case. There are a lot of gluten free pastas out there now that you can use.

These are automatically lower in carbs and are better for your digestive system too. You can even find spinach and other vegetable based pastas. This will help you stay healthy, keep your carbs low and still allow you to indulge in one of your favorite foods.

Hopefully this article has shown you that a low carb diet isn't so restrictive after all. You mainly have to focus on eating healthier type carbs. Just like with fats, there are good and bad carbs, so you should educate yourself on this difference as much as possible. So don't try to go on a "no carb" diet, as this isn't healthy. If you need help keeping track of what you should and should not be eating, you should work with your doctor and a qualified nutritionist.

They can help you figure out a healthy diet plan that is also low in carbs.
