¤¤¤ Low Carb Life ¤¤¤ Mission Statement ¤¤¤ The Columns ¤¤¤
Low Carb Life Latest column: January 2007 There are many low carb plans out there, but all of them share the basic principals of avoiding refined carbohydrates and eating unprocessed, natural, "real" foods. Low Carb is not just about steak fried in butter, and bacon every day. Did you know that the low carb lifestyle...
* eliminates all nutritionally void refined sugars and flours
... and I've yet to hear a nutritionist argue in favor of these dietary staples.* works to control appetite and cravings by moderating insulin response
... when is the last time you heard someone complain because he wasn't hungry?* encourages followers to eat high-fiber vegetables and low-sugar fruits daily
... most low carb followers eat more than the recommended "5 a day"!* must be individually customized
...only low carb plans recognize that everyone has a different metabolism, and that each person must discover for himself what level of carbohydrate intake works for him.¤¤¤ Low Carb Life ¤¤¤ Mission Statement ¤¤¤ The Columns ¤¤¤
