What Is a Low-Carb Diet?
Continuously hearing and reading about a low-carb diet is not be too surprising, as it has been a popularized eating plan which has lead to hundreds of available resources. While great success has been displayed from its followers, others may feel have difficulty maneuvering through the new information and recommendations. The basic premise behind a low-carb diet grants itself based on the the large portions of starches and added sugars consumed in the Western world. Unfortunately, the addictive properties of some carbohydrates and sugars have lead to overconsumption and the rise of obesity and chronic diseases. Although rich carbs and sweet treats can fit into a well-balanced diet, a low-carb diet increases the amount of lean meat and other proteins while embracing whole grains, colorful veggies and fruits, and healthy fats, sources that may cause resistance in carb and sugar-loving populations.
