Low Carb Diet Basics – Cutting Carbs
Now, there is such thing as a ketogenic diet which I’m not going to
talk about right now because when we talk about these moderate low
carbohydrate diets, that’s what I want the focus of this video to be,
what we’re really talking about is a low starch diet.
Right and so starch is; those are going to be your breads, grains,
cereals, rice, pasta things like that. So, if you want to go on an
easy low carb diet, just make it a low starch diet. Eat more
vegetables, not corn or potatoes. Those kind of count as starches but
eat more vegetables, green leafy vegetables, tomatoes, carrots,
onions, spinach; all those things. Make those your primary focus of
your carbohydrates and you’re automatically going to be put on a low
carbohydrate diet. Your carbs are just going to be reduced
automatically.
OK you want to try and get down initially to about 100 carbs a day. If
you can get in that range, you’re going to be in a moderately low
carbohydrate diet. You’re not going to worry about some of those nasty
side affects that sometimes people talk about. About being on very low
carbohydrate diets but you’re going to be low enough and you’re going
to be controlling your insulin which is very important for fat loss.
You’re really going to be able to see some great strides in your
weight loss.
When we’re talking low carbohydrate diets, initially the first place
you want to go is to a low starch diet which is going to be really
mainly focusing on fruits and vegetables and you’re going to be
cutting out grains and pastas and things like that.
