Low Carb Dieting for Dummies

The eating habits in America have changed. Americans eat out more frequently, consume larger portions, and eat more foods that bear little resemblance to their natural form. As a result, more Americans than ever are overweight and struggling to find a weight-loss plan that helps them lose those extra pounds.

Low-Carb Dieting For Dummies can help you get your weight under control. By improving the quality of the carbohydrates you eat and by controlling your daily intake of starchy carbs (like breads, pasta, and starchy vegetables), you’ll lose weight and experience many other healthy benefits, including increased energy, improved mood, and better sleeping. The following are all good reasons to follow this book’s low-carb plan:

  • If your personal health history includes the precursors to diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease
  • If you’re concerned about stabilizing your blood sugar levels
  • If you’re tired of the way convenience foods and prepackaged, sugar-laden foods make you feel
  • If your Body Mass Index (BMI) is 30 or aboveThis is not an “eat-all-the-fat-and-protein-you-can-possibly-consume” diet. Instead, it focuses on enjoying whole or unprocessed foods. For example, a sirloin steak is a whole food; a breaded veal cutlet is not. A baked potato is a whole food; potato chips are not. Don’t worry – with help from Low-Carb Dieting For Dummies, low-carb dieting will become second nature to you quickly. Here’s a look at some of the topics in this easy-to-read guide:
    • Understanding the carbohydrate-sugar connection
    • Examining your current diet and lifestyle
    • Knowing which foods you can eat without thinking twice (apples, grapes, carrots, and more!)
    • Trading off your carb choices for an occasional treat
    • Fueling up with fats: Good fats, bad fats
    • Navigating the supermarket and restaurants
    • Taking supplements when food may not be enough
    • Setting yourself up to succeed
