Low carb diets, like the Atkins diet plan, can be challenging to follow. Here are 3 easy tips that will help to make it easier to stick with your diet and increase fat loss.
1. Go easy on the fats. Yes you can have some fat on a low carb diet. But fat has a lot of calories and calories still count even on a low carb diet. Use very little added fat. Yes, a tablespoon of butter in your scrambled eggs may make them taste better but a teaspoon will taste just as good with far fewer calories.
2. Get plenty of fiber. Fiber binds to fat in the digestive tract making it unusable. Less fat absorbed equal fewer calories.
3. Concentrate on fresh vegetables. They are low in calorie and high in fiber. Choose high water content, low carb vegetables. Eat them in moderation. They give variety and color to your diet. Low carb diets can get very boring. For instance, jicama is a good choice. It has a slightly sweet taste and the sugars are indigestible.
.
It's that simple. Concentrate on eating lean meat, poultry and fish. Take a fiber supplement that has both soluble and non-soluble fiber. The soluble fiber will absorb fat in the small intestine. The non-soluble fiber will give you bulk to help keep you regular. Because low carb diets are usually low in fiber it is important to supplement. You will feel much better for it.
Choose your carbs well. Concentrate on getting high nutritional value from your food. Compare a piece of white bread and an apple and you'll find ounce for ounce the bread has almost 4 times the carbs and 5 times the calories.
Follow these simple tips and your weight loss will be faster, easier and more enjoyable.
