Question 4

can the low carb diet work?

Accepted Answer

Sure, but...: Those no carb diets all work by the same mechanism every diet on earth works by: less calories in. The key is that if you eat enough calories to gain weight but do it from fats and protein alone, it'll make you sick, so most people end up eating substantially less. Try it and see (myfitnesspal is a great app for this). Every 3500 cal missed (or so), another pound will fall off.

Question 5

Meat and fiber: A low carb diet basically focuses on meat (hopefully lean protein like chicken or pork) with high fiber, low starch vegetables like leafy greens.  Avoid grains and avoid root vegetables, as these are high in starch.  Of course, avoid sugary snacks, as well.

Question 8

is the low carb diet a good diet?

Accepted Answer

Low carbs is theBEST: Low carbs is the beeest!  basically, your choices for each meal includes protein, fat, carbs, and veggies.  It is always best to focus on protein and veggies. Avoid fats (fried foods, grease, etc. Avoid sugars and white carbs (white rice, bread, white pasta). Some brown carbs are ok since they seem to lead to a slower rise in sugar levels (keeps hunger from surging). Sooo, low carbs is the beeest!

Question 9

howmany grams of fat in a low carb diet .?

Accepted Answer

Depends on...: The number of grams of fat one should eat depends on the total number of calories he wants to eat each day, and the percent of calories he wants to be from carbs, fat, and protein. The site http://www.Freedieting.Com/tools/nutrient_calculator.Htm  has a calculator. One can enter the total calories, such as 1500, and then the %, such as 20%carb, 40%fat, 40%protein, and get the results in grams/day.

Question 10

what are the benefits of the low carb diet?

Accepted Answer

Low Carb: In addition to the excellent info you already received, I would mention that low carb will put your body into ketosis.  Ketosis is a state where our body uses fat for fuel rather than sugar, thus it it fat-burning.  This can help reduce sugar craving and lower weight.  Do this under guidance from your doc.  Peace and good health.
