Low Carb Diets, are they good for you?

 There is so much confusion out there,low fat diets are not good for you, low carb diets alone are no good for you, what do you do?


Well, here is some friendly advice, and I am sure you are used to getting this. The right balance is to ensure you get a mixture of carbs, protein and the right fats and lots of fibre in your diet. 

Protein in the form of meat should be the least amount of intake in any healthy dietary program, but you can get protein from other sources such as dark green vegetables.  We all need a balance of carbs, protein and fibre and fats in our diets.  Common sense prevails and says not too much fats or protein (meat), but any amount of vegetables are great.  Most people on a diet program tend to try and cut out carbs for their evening meal, this can help with digestion as our body tends to slow down in the evenings and while we sleep the digestive system totally shuts down so if you eat late at night it does not really digest until the next day!

If you are stuck on what to eat, I have included a great cookbook here by Lauri Ann Randolph that will also aid your weight loss.

Go for it and stay healthy and lose weight today!
