Carb Body Anyone have suggestions on the low or no carb diet? Putting my body in Ketosis?
I think i can handle a diet like this, but i need suggestion on the food i can eat! I was told extremely little or no carbs the first week, so that i can put my body in ketosis which i think means no sugar in my body, then i start burning the fat. when i looked up food with no carbs, pretty much the only thing is some meats.....i have heard of people making this diet a life-style and it working for them, so i wanna give it a try.....i want to lose about 15 to 20 pounds. any suggestions on the food and the ketosis thing?
Please buy the book. Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution or Protein Power.
It is a sad fact that people here on Yahoo answers will tell you low-carb is bad. Nothing could be further from the truth. Do your research on Low-carb. The truth is out there. Pay no mind to Mike regarding fad diets. He has been brainwashed against them. Do follow his excercise recommendations, however. But notice how he tells you to avoid high glycemic foods? Sounds close to low-carb to me. (Actually, once you lose the weight, you can use low glycermic food combos to "cheat" intelligently.)
Low-carb is not a fad, it is the way humans evolved to eat over millions of years. See link below. The well researched article goes completely contrary to all we have been taught.

Carbs and fiber - slowing down carb absorption for glucose control?
I have been learning a lot about carbs in foods and how to subtract the amount of fiber in foods from the amount of carbs to determine the adjusted amount based on how the body absorbs the carb for glucose control. Does anyone know if you have a higher carb choice food in your meal but offset by another food that is high in fiber would work the same way....Essentially, can you achieve the same thing i.e. slow down the absorption of carb to control your blood sugar by combining the right foods in your meal.
Here a way to slow down carb asorption.
Lime and lemon juice delay the digestion of starches as does vinegar. I've found that 2-3 tablespoons of lime or lemon juice reduces my post prandial BG response by 10-20 points. Rick Mendosa's site has a lot of material on acids in the diet. Take a look at http://www.mendosa.com/acidic_foods.htm .
Also it depends on the fibre used as to the benefits.Like whole grain breads are less effective than soy beans which in turn is surpassed by Guar Gum.
Good luck
