first, make sure it is the right diet for you. not everyone does well on a lo-carb diet.
second, don’t think of it as a diet but as a lifestyle. it is not something you do for a couple months and then stop.
you start with low carbs and add them back in a little at a time; some people can get back to an almost normal american diet (the more exercise you do, the more carbs you can eat). however, you really need to be ready to cut out starch heavy meals. you will have the most success if you add back high-fiber, low starch carbs – veggies like broccoli, fruits like apples and berries. from my own experience, adding carbs like wheat (even whole grain) and potatoes, bring weight loss to a crashing halt and trigger crazy cravings.
make sure you get plenty of water. some people get constipated easily on lo-carb diets. usually from eating too much cheese and not enough high-fiber veggies.
make sure you don’t lose weight too quickly. this is easy to do on lo-carb but isn’t healthy. if you are getting dizzy or fatigued, eat some more veggies.
make sure you get a wide variety of foods. lo-carb diets kill your appetite completely. it is easy to forget to eat, which is not healthy. eating a variety of foods will keep you interested in eating and help you get needed vitamins.
also, this is not a diet to attempt half-heartedly. read about it first. there are lots of books out there. atkins, protein power, sugarbusters. also check out on-line support groups.
best of luck!

obviously – no potatoes, no pasta – what’s good ist RICE – in any variation. Best to eat is a “separate diet” – never eat carb and protein together. combine carb + veggie or fruit OR protein with veggies… that worked for me – have fun!

Top 10 Weight Loss Foods

Anytime the topic of discussion in my blogs, articles or newsletters has turned to my own personal grocery shopping list, there has always been a spike in interest.

Negative Calorie Foods

The phrase, "negative calorie food", as highlighted in negative calorie diet programs and books, usually refers to foods that allegedly require more energy to digest than they contain. Since the process of digestion requires the use of calories for energy, sometimes the net amount of metabolizable energy available from a food is less than the gross number of calories contained in the food.

By now, most people realize that adding lean muscle mass to your body does wonders for your metabolism and fat loss, as well as a host of other benefits that allow you to live out your life as healthy as possible.

Rest, Sleep, And Burn More Fat Fast

In order to reap the benefits from the intense exercise I recommend to my Fat Burning Furnace students, you must get adequate rest. I can’t stress this fact enough. In fact, rest is just as important, if not more important that the actual exercise.
