Carb Dieting Secrets
To help with
weight issues and for overall improved health, many people turn to
diets. In fact, government statistics show that while about 65 percent
of Americans are overweight, 38 percent are actually doing something
about it.
And according to a recent survey by the National Health Institute,
about a third of overweight Americans who are trying to lose weight,
are doing so by eating less carbohydrates (carbs) largely because of
the increased popularity of fad diets like Atkins Diet and the South
Beach Diet.
Although there have certainly been other low-carb or low-sugar diet
plans before, and more will most assuredly come out in the years ahead,
let’s take a look at the basics behind many of the major plans. And
let’s take a look at how they fit into the real world today. Because
while it might be great to lower the body’s sugar content and be
healthier, wouldn’t it be great to learn how to do so while being part
of this fast-paced world?
In the world of instant messaging, quick Internet interaction and the
already multi-faceted day-to-day hectic schedules, dietary food
budgeting, planning, preparing and shopping are issues that can become
major sources of stress and reasons for dieting failure. Dual income
families on-the-go and other super-busy wage earners and dieters often
already suffer from more than their share of everyday stressors like
fears of being laid off, their jobs being relocated or terminated,
juggling more than one job, dependents (both elderly and minors) and
trying to fund and juggle continuing education into their lives,
budgets, and daily routines.
People want and need simpler solutions. And they need simpler dieting
plans. Forget spending mega bucks on gourmet, hard-to-find items.
Forget spending hours just to prepare meals. And forget counting,
measuring, and weighing ingredients.
Either a low-carb plan fit into real-world lives, or it doesn’t. First
we’ll take a look at some basic terms and definitions to help
understand the science behind low-carb plans. Let’s see how many of the
major players’ plans measure up.

Staying Healthy on a Low Carbohydrate Diet
by: Marjorie Geiser
It is estimated that about 32 million Americans are following some type of low carbohydrate diet. This is the result of fad diet authors claiming that carbohydrates are the cause for America’s rising obesity problems. The backlash against carbohydrates is a result of the low fat craze that started in the 80’s.When consumers started cutting down their fat intake, manufacturers figured out that they could create low fat processed food products that the public would buy. Because these products claimed to be ‘fat free’, Americans didn’t pay attention to the fact that they were not also ‘calorie free’, and as a result, the total amount of daily calories has slowly been increasing.
