Carb Dieting Secrets
DIETING SUCCESS TIP NO.
7: INVEST IN A GOOD SET OF FOOD STORAGE
CONTAINERS
Having food storage containers of various sizes on
hand will
make it so much easier for you to plan your meals and snacks.
When you buy nuts, fruits and vegetables in bulk you can simply
prepare, separate and store them for easy use later.
For instance, you can pre-slice your apples and snack on them over
several days. Simply cut them, rinse them in pineapple or lemon
juice and store. This will make a quick and easy snack for later.
Fix your lunch and take it with you to work. Better yet, fix your
lunch and 2 snacks for work.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 8: EAT SOME PROTIEN AT EACH MEAL & AS A SNACK
In addition to everything that’s been discussed before, eating protein
helps you burn more calories. Jeff Hample, Ph.D., R.D., a spokesman for
the American Dietetic Association says that, "Protein is made up mainly
of amino acids, which are harder for your body to breakdown, so you
burn more calories getting rid of them.”
Just think – eating a protein rich snack can help you lose
weight. How about a few slices of turkey or ham or some string
cheese?
Eating protein will also help you feel full so that you are less likely
to crave unhealthy snacks.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 9: DRINK A GLASS OF WATER AFTER EACH SNACK
This will help you get in your 8 to 10 glasses of water each day but it
can also have other benefits. Ever feel hungry after eating a
handful or standard serving of nuts? Try drinking water
afterwards. The water will help you feel full and prevent
overindulgence.
Drinking water after a snack will also help remove the aftertaste from
your mouth and can help curb your desire for more.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 10: EAT SLOWLY & ENJOY YOUR FOOD
You will feel full and more satisfied if you take the time to savor
your food and chew it slower. Don’t get in the habit of eating
while standing or eating quickly. Sit down and chew.
Eating slower will help you enjoy your food more, pay attention to what
it is you are actually eating and get a better sense of when you are
actually full.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 11: EAT YOUR LARGER MEALS EARLY AND SMALLER MEALS
LATER
You will feel better and lose weight quicker if you eat a large
breakfast and eat a smaller dinner. You may also want to eat the
majority of your carbs earlier in the day, saving a salad and lean meat
protein for dinner.
Eating larger meals during the part of the day when you are most active
will help you to feel satisfied throughout the day and curb cravings
for unhealthy snacks.

Kids and The Low-Carb Lifestyle
by: Philip J. Goscienski, M.D.
Some pediatricians have been prescribing a low-carb diet for a select group of children for decades, and what they have seen is very unsettling. The ketogenic diet was developed more than 80 years ago in order to control seizures that did not respond to the anticonvulsant medications that were available then. There are now dozens of medications that help to control seizures but the ketogenic diet is still used. The good news is that it does stop or slow down the frequency of seizures. The bad news is that it has some unhealthy effects on the heart.
