what is the best low carb diet?!
Question: Please help!
Answers:
Low carb diets arent effective for everyone. If they were then everyone who ever has gone on a low carb diet would be skinny. You know thats not true.
There are certain foods that are beneficial and certain you should avoid.
Drink sufficient fluids -- your weight divided by 2 = ounces per day. Take fluids between meals, using reverse osmosis purified water, unsweetened juices, and herbal beverages. Try liquid chlorophyll in pure water, it is delicious and refreshing!
*A minimum of 50% of your food should be alive -- fresh, raw, unprocessed. Dead food cannot build strong bodies. Eat foods in season and foods that can spoil. (But eat them before they spoil, of course!)More is preferable!
*Eliminate foods used in a microwave. Try to eliminate using the microwave for anything you eat or drink.
*Eliminate processed sugars and white flour and any foods that contains these; i.e., read labels.
Substitute whole grain foods for white -- stone ground whole wheat, brown rice, etc.
*Avoid all stimulants. They are very hard on the adrenal glands. (Coffee, cigarettes, chocolate, cola drinks, alcohol, aspirin, black tea -- herbal tea acceptable.)
*It is easier on your digestive system if you eat fruit by itself. Fruit digests faster than any other type of food. Starches and proteins do not combine well either.
*Eat two-thirds of your daily food intake before mid-afternoon if possible. It is best to use protein in the morning and at noon, not in the evening.
*Eliminate fried foods of all kinds -- bake, roast, or steam instead.
*Avoid pork and any product containing pork -- lunch meats, hot dogs, ham, bacon, sausage, etc. Experts feel that the parasites in pork are heat-resistant.
*Do not use aluminum cookware.
*Replace table salt with Vegetable Seasoning Broth, kelp or B-Salt. Table salt -- sodium chloride -- is an imbalanced chemical which can cause health problems.
*Replace red meat with fish or fowl whenever possible.
*Substitute leaf lettuce -- Romaine, red or green leaf, or butter for head lettuce which has very little food value and is toxic in the colon.
Try to add cultured products, natural yogurt & keifer (not sweetened) to your diet to help your digestive system. Also add acidophilus supplements to your regimen to increase friendly bacteria in your intestines and support your immune system.
*70% of your daily food intake should be selected from alkaline-forming list. 30% from the acid-forming list.
To accomplish this, you may have:
5 vegetables*
2 fruits
2 starches -- or -- 1 starch
1 protein 2 proteins
Acid - Forming Foods
Meat
Fowl
Eggs
Bread
Nuts
Citrus juices
Fish
Cheese
Rice
Grains (cereal)
Sugar
Alkali - Forming Foods
Fruit juices/except citrus
Vegetable juices
Raw Honey
Soybeans
Potatoes
*Liquid Chlorophyll - Chloropyll may be used as a vegetable.
Goat milk
sprouted seeds

South Beach Diet, easily. It is not just a diet, but it is a food plan for life that is lower saturated fat, high in vegetables and fruits, and includes whole grains. So, it isn't just an Atkins knock-off.
It isn't low fat, but it focuses on using good fats and avoiding bad fats, and it isn't really low carb over the long haul, but it focuses on the good carbs (low on the glycemic index, so vegetables, many fruits, and whole grain products).
Take a look at the South Beach Diet book. At most public libraries, for sale at the big bookstores.
none .your brain and body need carbs..in moderation of course.
i think that the south beach or sugar busters are thebest because they aren't as restrictive as atkins. i lost the most weight on atkins, however, and it was the easiest to stick to after the induction phase.
I'm not sure which is the best one.
but you can find the top 10-11 listed here.
just go to this site an click on search it will pull up the top 10-11.
hope this helps!

I would say that I have seen some good fish diets that contain low fat. Low fat is the important part.
I can give you one recomendation that is simple and I guarentee it works.
1. Do not eat any food after 5pm. and try to get to bed a little earleyer (you burn more calories sleeping and more calories in the morning when your body has had a good rest).
2. I recomend eating most of your starchy foods earlyer in the day time (startchy foods tend to stick around longer when you eat them at nite.
3. A 5min exercize after you eat (cardio is best), just walking around can do great.
Just doing these simple tasks, can help you loose weight alone but, If you impliment a good diet watch how much more weight you loose.
The important thing is to continue doing these little steps after your diet, this will keep the weight off and your body trim.
Good luck! Please let me know what you think.
