13. The 7-Day Low-Carb Rescue and
Recovery Plan
This book is was written by Drs. Rachel and Richard Heller and is
touted as being the book for any low-carb dieter on any plan who needs
help getting back on track – right now.
This is the book for the person who has let the holidays, a vacation or
a bad meal choice spiral into a crisis or who are discouraged because
they have reached an unwanted weight loss plateau.
The doctors give a 7-day meal plan to help get you back on track as
well as tips to curb your carb-cravings, deal with saboteurs and
identify hidden carbs and sugars.
First and foremost the Hellers explain that overweight people and
people who have a sweet-tooth are physiologically different from
naturally thin people and need to stop blaming themselves for their
weight problems. By understanding what your body needs – and what
it needs to avoid – to lose weight will only help you reach your goals
sooner.
The 7-day diet plan that they propose helps to rebalance insulin
levels, curb cravings and move the body back into fat –burning
mode. Once this is done you can go back to your low-carb plan of
choice with new insight into how to avoid common pitfalls. There
are 7-steps, to be added one each day. They are:
1. Add a low-carb protein to each meal and snack
2. Add on low-carb veggies and/or salad to lunch, dinner and snacks
3. Include a good portion of low-carb protein, vegetables, and/or salad
in relation to high-carb foods you may be consuming.
4. Eat all of your low-carb protein, veggies and salad before you eat
your high-carb food.
5. Eat low-carb snacks only. Save high-carb foods for meals.
6. Eat only low-carb foods at all snacks and at one meal.
7. Eat only low-carb foods at all snacks and at two meals.
After you successfully complete these steps over 7-days, you will be
able to transition back into the low-carb plan of your choice.
They also suggest that you avoid sugar substitutes like those found in
diet-colas to help you stay on your diet plan.
Additionally, they admonish all low-carbers to eat towards the carbs in
their meals. This way they fill up on protein and the lower
starch carbs first. Finally, you can eat the higher starch and
carb food on your plate. This will help you fill up and consume
less of the foods that may be causing you problems. Plus, once
the high-carb food hits your system, it will be so busy breaking down
the protein and fiber you ate that it will more slowly digest the
bad-carbs you consumed.

Is Low-Carb Weight Loss Really Just Water Loss?
by: Craig Whitley
Any weight loss or diet plan, including low-carb plans like the induction phase of the Atkins Diet will result in water loss during the first week or two. However, one of the real beauties of following a low carbohydrate eating plan is that most of the weight loss than extends beyond the initial induction phase of the diet is really from a drop in fat pounds.
