A Low Carb Diet

Huh?! Another blurb about dieting? Indulge me ok? Hahaha, its something that is dominating my consciousness for the past few weeks. I’m simply happy that I finally found a dieting way to help me lose the extra pounds. I’m not sure yet if this would work for a long time and if I would manage to achieve my weight loss goal, but things are looking rosy and I can’t help but be positive.

I realize now that nothing really beats going on good old diet and exercise, not even the best fat burners. What is currently working for me is a low-carb diet. I picked South Beach Diet simply because while it is the same as other Low carb diets, it is different in a way that it chooses unsaturated fat vs. saturated fat.

Low carb diet is really effective in jump starting your weight loss mainly because it requires an almost total withdrawal from carbohydrates forcing our body to use stored fats. This is usually in Phase I. Then Phase II, you’ll be adding gradually small amounts of carbo and this way, I have managed to find and adjust to eating a good and healthy amount of carbohydrates.

One thing about this diet, you have to drink plenty of fluids specially water and a doctor friend, also advised me to take a daily multivitamin to ensure that my body is receiving the right nutrients. I have also started to exercise more regularly since after losing the fat, its expected that you will lose muscles, so muscles can be maintained by some strength training.
