Carb Dieting Secrets
DIETING SUCCESS TIP NO.
15: GET YOUR FRUIT FRESH NOT SQUEEZED
Fruit juice can be very tempting as a replacement
for soda, but
just how healthy is fruit juice? If you read the labels you will
soon realize that in many of the commercial juices available at your
local grocery store there is very little actual fruit juice.
What you will find is lots of sugar water and other ingredients.
Why not skip the juice altogether and eat a fresh piece of fruit?
Not only does fresh fruit contain less sugar than juice, fresh fruit
has fiber that is good for you and will help you feel fuller longer.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 16: GO EASY ON THE MEAL REPLACEMENTS
New meal replacement shakes and bars go on the market almost every
day. These shakes and bars may claim to be healthy, but almost
all of them, even the Zone Perfect bars, contain hydrogenated oil and
sweeteners.
So be careful. The bars especially may be only slightly healthier
than a Snickers candy bar. Occasionally, they may not be
that bad for you but as a rule you probably don’t want to indulge in a
meal replacement shake or bar every day.
SUCCESS TIP NO. 17: IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE IT PROBABLY
IS
Low carb doughnuts and muffins? You can find these prepackaged
low-carb labeled goods at your neighborhood grocery store and at many
low-carb lifestyle specialty shops. That does not mean that you
should make a habit out of eating them.
While low-carb pastries may be tempting remember that they still
contain all of the usual carbohydrate suspects: sugar or a sugar
substitute and flour.
They may be healthier than your typical muffin as an occasional treat,
but remember to stick with the basics for continued low-carb success.

Whither Low-Carb?
by: Philip J. Goscienski, M.D.
Fads fade for a reason. Like pet rocks, low-carb diets will disappear because they just don’t do anything worthwhile. The dropout rate is high about 50 percent because the diets are boring and are unpalatable to most people. More than 90 percent of dieters return to their previous weight within 5 years, most of them even sooner. Minor side effects such as headache, fuzzy thinking, irritability, halitosis and constipation are almost universal among Atkins adherents. Severe side effects are, fortunately, rare.
