A carb free diet is not just a trend. There are very many reasons as to why you should consider practicing a carb- free diet. Although carbohydrates make up for the main source of energy in our diet, they can be harmful to the health if consumed in large amounts. They can lead to diseases such as obesity, hypertension and diabetes among many other diseases.

There are very many alternatives that taste similar to foods that are high in carbohydrates. This therefore means that you won’t run out of delicious meals when you decide to opt for a carb free diet.

What to eliminate from your low carb diet

It is advisable to first consult a doctor before you decide to go for the carb free diet. This is so as you can ensure that it is safe for you more so if you are on medication. Steps to follow when going for this kind of diet includes: first eliminating all grains such as breakfast cereals, oatmeal rice, croissant, bagels, muffins, baked foods and the regular bread. Also be sure to stay away from starchy vegetables like potatoes and corn, sugar containing foods and drinks. These drinks could include beverages like soft drinks, fruit punch, syrups and desserts. Yoghurt, milk and fruits also contain significant amounts of carbohydrates and should therefore be avoided.
No carb diets should include an equivalent of about 6 oz. of protein during each serving. Proteins help you fill fuller between meals thus making it easier to stick to your no carb diet plan. You could for instance take breakfast that contains two eggs with one sausage and maybe 2 oz. cheese. During lunch and supper you can choose between pork, turkey, beef, fish or seafood.

Healthy unsaturated fats for body replenishment

Apart from a moderate amount of protein, a Carb free diet should also include a high fat content. Fat becomes the primary source of energy in the diet and helps put your body in the fat burning mode to help you shed the extra weight. You could also use olive oil to cook your beef or vegetables, add sour cream to your serving of salmon or just add butter to your mashed cauliflower or broccoli. These ingredients can be used to make rich desserts with non sugar sweeteners. Make sure you do not use low fat versions of the foods as they contain carbohydrates including sugar.
