Question 1

could consuming foods with no or little carbohydrates help me lose quick weight?

Accepted Answer

Yes and no: You want to avoid large amounts of simple carbs (like sugar) but complex carbs are ok in reasonable amounts.  Protein is good, but too much fat will reverse any benefit of avoiding carbs.  And any diet without an increase in activity is doomed to fail.  You need to burn more calories not just decrease your intake.  Even if you start with simple walking... Just get our heart rate up.

Non-refined carbs: Carbs tend to be divided into Complex and Refined.  Complex carbohydrate sources, such as whole-grain breads, starchy vegetables and beans have a lower glycemic index because they take longer for your digestive system to break down.

Protein/Fiber: Try increasing your protein intake. Protein helps to balance out sugar highs and lows  when eating it with a balanced diet. Fiber also slows sugar absorption from the intestine.

That's a start: If you can distribute your food including slow carbs like quinoa, amaranth, and buckwheat groats soaked for 8 hours, rinsed and cooked for 15 minutes  with vegetables,  berries, beans, and fish into 6 small equal meals followed by 10 minutes of movement like walking  after each meal, stress reduction, and a good night sleep weight loss happens.

Question 10

can you please recommend some effective snacks or food that have low carbohydrates?

Accepted Answer

The natural ones: In general, the content of the carbohydrates that you may want to avoid (simple/refined sugars)  is lower in natural snacks (fruits, grains, etc.); and the carbohydrates present in those are much healthier than, for example, candy bars, chocolates, etc.
