Quick Secrets To Super Charge Your Low Carb Diet
Summer
is rapid approaching and it's to ignite your motivation for better health
and balanced weight. Whether you choose Atkins, South Beach or the hundreds
of other specialty diets, most agree on a couple of simple points -- a
diet low in high glycemic
carbohydrates and low in calories will promote weight loss.
Here are seven secrets to making your diet work for you:
1. Low carb does work. The basis of most successful modern
diet plans is to significantly lower your high
glycemic carbohydrate intake, especially refined carbohydrates, thus
stimulating your body to burn fat reserves for energy. It takes an average
of about three days of an almost complete carbohydrate-free diet to begin
burning your fat reserves as energy. You maintain this low-carb diet for
a couple of weeks for maximum weight loss. After a couple of weeks, "good
carbs" with a low
glycemic index are added to the diet in the form of green vegetables
to continue weight loss. As your ideal weight is reached, you may introduce
non refined carbohydrates back into your diet to your own individual weight
control.
2. Control your calorie intake. Everyone has an ideal
daily calorie intake that matches the fuel your body needs for its activities
and regeneration at a particular weight. Consume more calories than you
burn and you gain weight (or lose less weight more slowly). Burn more
calories than you consume and you lose weight. Combine a low-calorie diet
along with low-carb diet and you get enhanced weight loss. Don't forget
that exercise burns calories for fuel too.
3. Choose your proteins well. When you eliminate carbs
from your diet, you end up eating more proteins. Proteins that are higher
in fat are also higher in calories because fat grams are denser. Choose
chicken, turkey and lean meats as your animal-based proteins. Cold water
fish is the best source of fish protein because you get the nutritional
benefit of rich Omega-3 fatty acids.
4. Keep fats under control and be selective. Olive oil
and macadamia nut oil are rich in Omega-9 fatty acids. Olive oil is also
rich in other substances that nutritionally support the body that no other
oil contains. Watch out for poor fat choices in manufactured dressings.
5. Good carbs help. Mineral- and vitamin-rich green leafy
vegetables provide many of the nutrients we need daily. They also spice
up a meal of proteins.
6. Don't forget fiber. Fiber is primarily a good low
glycemic carbohydrate that aids digestive system operation. Fiber
also does not digest into the blood system and thus does not interfere
with weight loss.
7. Balance your nutrition with good vitamins. An overall
daily supplement containing Vitamins B, C and E and minerals of copper,
zinc and calcium will keep your body running efficiently to burn the fat.
Chromium Picolinate is a popular supplement that enhances metabolism of
sugar, fats and proteins.
Overall, select the foods that will help you reach your nutritional goals.
Fish and lean poultry and meats, paired with green vegetables, prepared
with olive oil and natural spices and herbs, will not only satisfy your
tastes but fuel your body quickly toward a new slimmer your by Summer.
Don't forget to drink a lot of water while you increase your protein intake.
Drinking water flushes fats out of your system as well as increasing your
metabolism. Instead of soft drinks or powdered drink mixes that are loaded
with chemicals and sugar, I suggest is adding the juice of half a lemon
to 32 ounces of water with a sprinkle of Steviva
Brand Stevia Powder. Aside from being less than 2 carbs, you will
get the health benefits that the stevia provides along with the vitamin
C and electrolytes that lemon have. You can substitute limes for lemons
if you get bored and break the routine even more by adding a little unsweetened
cranberry juice. Click
