Best Low Carb Diet - Carbs Can Be Your Friends

What is the best low card diet? We hear so much hype these days about celebrities slimming by cutting out carbohydrates (carbs) that we could almost be brainwashed into thinking that carbs are bad for us.

The truth of the matter is that whilst SOME carbs are bad for us and, when eaten in large amounts, can lead to weight gain it is also true that the right type of carbs can be your friends. This article will help you work out the best low carb diet as part of your weight loss diet program.

 Just as there are good fats and bad fats there are also good carbs and bad carbs and if you pick the right one you'll instantly have your best low card diet. The reason some carbs fall into the ‘bad carbs’ category is due to the refining process. Fibre is often removed from grains during the refining process.  This gives a smoother texture and extends the shelf life of bread and other baked goods but without the fibre content, food becomes too starchy and can be devoid of nutrients. Examples of Carbohydrates that have been refined and are, therefore, the bad guys and are white flours (white bread, pizza crust made from white flour, cake made from white flour etc.,pies, crisps) and processed grains such as white rice and sugary breakfast cereal. Avoid also chocolate and jam as part of your weight loss diet program. If you eat too many refined foods in your diet it can lead to the body producing excess insulin which can have a yo-yo effect on blood sugar levels which often leads to cravings for sweet things and pangs of hunger before your next meal is due.

If you make a conscious effort to replace all the bad carbs in your diet with unrefined carbohydrates and eat these in small amounts this will help keep blood sugar levels even and you will feel fuller for a greater length of time than if you eat refined carbs.  This type of strategy will go a long way to achieving your best low carb diet.  If you want more information on developing your best low carb diet go to The Diet Solution Program.

So, you may ask, which carbs can be your friends in your best low carb diet? Whilst the list can be endless, examples of the good carbs which you may want to include in your diet are wholegrain brown rice, wholemeal couscous, wholemeal pasta, wholemeal bread (with seeds is good). But a cautionary note here! Although these are in the good guy category they must still be eaten in controlled amounts to avoid weight gain.

As an example of portion size, when eating bread use just one slice of wholemeal bread taken from a large loaf. For pasta you should eat 2-3 oz (cooked weight) of wholegrain pasta. Try and bulk out your plate with salad or steamed veg and a small amount of healthy protein (fish/lean meat) so that you are not left hungry at the end of the meal which can lead to reaching for more food and result in over-eating.  I hope this small guide will help you to plan your best low carb diet and building your ideal weight loss diet program.
