Advanced Diets Advice & News

Being on a low-carb diet can be tough. It doesn’t matter who you are…it’s tough.   From the 1st time dieter to the people who have traveled down the low-carb path for years, everyone will have their problems.     Here are 10 of the most common mistakes I see in low carb eating and what you should try to avoid.

Getting Off on the Wrong Foot

You don’t have to take a college class to understand low carb eating. However, not doing your proper planning and/or research on the truths behind it all, you could be in for a long road.  You need to understand the pros and cons, what works and what doesn’t, and how you can keep yourself healthy when going low-carb.  There are plenty of sources out there that can help educate you with understanding the low-carbohydrate diets.  

Be Persistent  

There are lots of approaches to low carb eating, and there are often missteps at first, as you try to find one that works for you, or to modify an existing one. There is a tendency to over-react a bit when everything doesn’t go perfectly, and give up. A prime example of this is eating too little carbohydrate at first, suffering a carb crash, and deciding low carb isn’t for you. This is a shame, when a simple adjustment can usually get you through the first week comfortably, to the great rewards at the end of it.

 Not Enough Vegetables

Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables might be the #1 key to reaching your goals when going low-carb.   If you don’t, chances are that the diet won’t work for you. You should be eating more of them than any other food! Fruit, too, especially fruit low in sugar, has its place in a complete low carb diet.

 Eat Plenty of Fiber 

For a low-carb diet to work, you have to consume plenty of fiber and you can do this by eating plenty of fruits and vegetables.   Eating plenty of fruits and vegetables will go a long way towards making your diet work.  

Eating Too Much ~ Don’t Eat Too Much }

You don’t really need to count calories on a low-carb diet, but that doesn’t mean calories don’t count! The great thing about low carb eating is that our appetites “turn down,” allowing us to eat fewer calories without getting hungry. Some people make the mistake, though, of thinking they can just keep eating and eating and still lose weight as long as the food is low carb.
