Are you considering a low-carb diet for weight loss? If so, you are choosing a very safe, healthy and effective diet plan. To get started, you should first understand what carbohydrates are and how they fit into a low-carb diet. Not all carbohydrates are bad, but some are much better than others.
A low-carb diet, as the name implies, restricts the amount of carbohydrates you consume, and instead emphasizes your intake of dietary proteins and fats. Some foods are natural sources of carbohydrates, such as fruits and vegetables. Another source of carbohydrates comes from processed foods, which contain added starch and sugar for flavor. These foods include pasta, bread and sweets.

Many low-carb diet plans allow certain fruits and vegetables, but in limited amounts. In general, low-carb diets focus on proteins, including meat, poultry, fish and eggs, and some non-starchy vegetables.
Low-carb diets may require you to completely change the way you eat, especially if you are addicted to the carbohydrates in processed foods. Your weight-loss results may vary depending on how much you limit your carbohydrate intake. A good thing to note is that most people report feeling satisfied while on low-carb diets and experience few challenges with hunger control. As well, most low-carb dieters successfully achieve weight loss, look better and feel healthier. Are you ready to get started?
