Slow Carbs – Are They The Secret To A Healthy Life?

Spaghetti Squash With Meat Sauce Recipe
Slow Carb diets are becoming more
well-liked as compared to low fat diets. The Slow Carb Diet is based around lowering insulin spikes that will
trigger off energy to be stored as fat. The Slow Carb is basically carbohydrates
that are low in the Glycemic Index. Major food items that are included in this
category are Broccoli, Cauliflower, Spinach, Collard Greens, Chicken, Eggs,
Beef, Pork, etc. that are of Protein Rich Foods and good for health.
One more important thing is that
a slow carb diet is actually one of the keys
to weight loss
. Refined carbohydrates cause a fast spike in blood sugar,
which prompts the pancreas to secrete insulin. It is also used to control
diabetes. Slow carb diets are also helpful to prevent heart disease. These are
big sources of energy. Foods high in carbs never remain in your blood for long.
They cause a sharp upward spike.
 If you would like to stick to the diet you can
eat similar meals again and again. You should avoid white carbs such as bread, potato and rice. The slow carb diet recognizes that the body reacts
differently to some carbs than others. Simple
carbs
you can find  in pasta,
rice, potatoes, sweets and sweetened juices. All these items contain processed
sugars and starches that convert quickly to glucose during digestion.
The other benefit to a slow carb
diet is that you don’t have to add up calories. By consuming more protein and
fats, you will naturally feel full energetic and you can improve your workout
plan
. The slow carbs such as whole grains, and fiber-richfruits and vegetables will lead you to attain your weight goals and be able to maintain
them for the long time.
This is how I eat at the
moment and found that when I first started, I lost 10 Pounds of fat total in 4 weeks, and have maintained it for about 3 years now. So I am really
happy with the results. I do realize that the first few weeks on any diet will
help you to lose the most weight.
I really
suggest you think about trying it out. I am enjoying my experience.
