How to Eat a Low Carb Diet Without Going Hungry

By Wilson Resturbee


When trying to lose weight, many people advocate using a diet that doesn't have any carbohydrates. There are dozens of diets, including South Beach, Atkins, and others, that believe the reason you cannot lose weight is because of eating carbohydrates. This might be true, but, probably not. As long as you keep eating the bad carbohydrates, you won't lose weight, but the good ones are needed by your body. The trick is to keep away from those that are bad and to eat a moderate amount of those that are good. When you need help coming up with the right diet plan, seek out a good nutritionist to do it for you. For the time being, these few tips on dieting will at least get you on the right course.

For recipes calling for wheat flour, try substituting coconut flour. Regular refined white flour is rich in bad carbohydrates and gluten and is very hard for your digestive system to process. You can replace white flour with coconut flour, which is low in carbs and healthier in every respect. Coconuts are a nutritionally dense food that have many uses. You can drink coconut milk rather than ordinary milk. So try switching to coconut flour and start experimenting with all the foods you can prepare with it.

By focusing on whole grains, you can immediately start eating a healthier diet. This is particularly true if you're trying to live off of a low carbohydrate diet. When you switch from unhealthy to healthy carbs such as whole grains, you won't feel deprived, as these foods are actually more satisfying than those made from things like white flour. Any type of food you're used to eating can be made or found in a whole grain variety. When you buy foods like bread or pasta, look for ones made with whole grain rather than processed flours. This is an example of how you can eat the same types of foods as ever on a low carb diet, as anything made from high carbohydrate flours can also be made from whole grains.

These are automatically lower in carbs and are better for your digestive system too. You can even find spinach and other vegetable based pastas. This will help you stay healthy, keep your carbs low and still allow you to indulge in one of your favorite foods.

This article has explored just some of your possibilities with low carb diets. You mainly have to focus on eating healthier type carbs. Try to remember that there are "good" carbohydrates and "bad" carbohydrates. So don't try to go on a "no carb" diet, as this isn't healthy. Getting personal advice from your doctor or other trusted health professional may make it easier for you to start a new diet.

Going on a low carb diet requires some changes, but none of these are that hard. Don't even attempt to go on a diet that contains no carbohydrates at all. If you stick to natural, unprocessed carbs and don't eat huge portions of them, you'll be right on target. A health practitioner you trust can be a good ally when going on a diet. Your nutritionist or doctor will be able to give you some advice that's especially tailored to your situation.
