If you’re thinking about cutting carbs to lose weight, then you’re making an excellent choice. By following a low-carb diet, you limit the amount of foods that are high in carbohydrates and/or especially foods that raise blood sugar levels. Weight loss occurs since the body taps into its own fat stores to create energy, rather than reacting to the rapid changes in blood-sugar levels brought on by carbs. It turns out that low-carb diets offer us many health benefits, along with a great way to shed those extra pounds.

It's perfectly normal to eat when we're physically hungry. Emotional eating, on the other hand, doesn't work the same way. It's human nature to crave and turn to food during hard times in our lives. We all like to believe that food helps us feel better during stressful situations by providing the comfort we seek. All too often though, we end up feeling worse than before after we overeat. This is mainly because eating hasn't solved the underlying problem after all. As well, if you're prone to emotional eating while trying to stay on diet plans for weight loss, you may end up feeling even guiltier after "falling off the wagon," so to speak.
