Although low carb dieting does produce fast weight loss, it’s not a good choice in the long run. It has too many negative side effects.
Having said that, I understand that many people are going to go low carb despite the side effects.
So, here is how to make sure low carb dieting doesn’t make your life pure hell:
1. Try not to take a black or white stance: If you simply remove carbs from your diet, you will suffer big time. So try not to take such a strong stance here. Instead, only take out carbs from your diet when you least need them for the best effects.
2. Have carbs for breakfast no matter what: During this time your body needs to get out of the starved state as quickly as possible. And the best macronutrient that can accomplish this is carbohydrate. Even better, your ability to absorb carbs is very high in the morning.
3. Don’t eat animal meats with lots of fat: Just because you are taking out carbs from your diet doesn’t mean you have a free ticket to eat all the saturated fat you want. Instead, focus on sources of protein that have little animal saturated fat.
4. Crank up vegetable intake: The high amount of protein you will be eating will leave you very full over extended periods of time. Nonetheless, you still need to eat lots of vegetables to slow down the digestion of the protein and to reduce acidity in your body.
5. Don’t have endless protein shakes: There is only one time when a protein shake is better than solid food, right after resistance training. Otherwise, the fast digestion rate of liquid protein will not be beneficial for you.
6. You can be more aggressive with your pre bed snack: The last thing you eat before going to bed can have no carbs in it. You see, when you are asleep low blood sugar can help increase the output of growth hormone.
Low carb dieting is not for someone that is looking for high performance. However, following the tips in this article will minimize the damage!
