One of the most popular diets is the low carb one. But because
of its popularity the number of diet plans is growing, and
growing and growing. When you have to decide it is so difficult:
the very large amount of information freezes you. You’re blocked
and you have to find a way to continue what you have begun: a
low carb diet.That’s why I have decided to present you some diet
plans for a low carb diet.
One of the most known is the Atkins diet. It mainly consists of
four phases: first phase has the purpose to induce “benign
dietary ketosis” that will help the body to produce the fat
mobilization substance; once this substance is being produced
the body is forced to disgorge and burn up deposited body fat;
this is the time when you start loosing weight. The second phase
continues the process and tries to remove some of the food
restrictions. This will last until you achieve the desired
weight.
The third phase prepares you for the last one. Now you will
change your diet into a maintenance diet and you will lose very
slowly the last extra pounds. The last phase is the maintenance
diet and its purpose is to maintain the target weight for life.
This is achieved by setting a fairly strict diet that will
forever keep off the lost weight. The person is urged to stick
to the carbohydrate level they feel happiest on without gaining
weight.
Another popular diet plan for a low carb diet is Eat Fat Get
Thin. This is a high fat, low carb plan, which allows 60g
carbohydrates per day and calories are unrestricted. The method
is to reduce your intake of refined carbs. In order to do this
you can eat as much as you want of any meat, fish, poultry,
cheese, cream butter and eggs; you can also have green leafy
vegetables. You are allowed to eat vegetables and fruits,
avoiding the sweeter ones. You should cut of foods with a large
amount of sugar and cereals, and you should give up eating
bread, or eat as less as you can. This diet was a success for
the one who wrote it, and it can be for you, too.
Another diet plans are: Life without Bread, The Diet Cure, Fat
Flush Plan, Neanderthin, South Beach Diet and many, many others.
