Low Carb Dieting?

In case you haven’t noticed low carb dieting has become ‘all the rage’. Its popularity has soared as many find reducing their intake of carbohydrates helps them lose weight. The basic idea is to eat fewer carbohydrates, especially the highly processed white-sugar types (white bread, cake, cookies, etc). This will cause your body to burn fat for energy. When you eat more carbs than your body can burn as fuel, they are stored as fat.

Another benefit in reducing your carbohydrate intake is to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels. Carbs are converted to sugar quite quickly which can cause blood glucose levels to spike and then fall rapidly, causing feelings of fatigue. Eating fewer ‘white sugar’ carbs can help alleviate feelings of tiredness.

Low carb dieting is not a ‘green flag’ signaling the go ahead to begin eating all the high fat foods you can get your hands on (bacon, cheese, butter, etc). Eating less sugar AND saturated fats have shown to improve overall health and wellness. Studies also show those who incorporate some exercise into their lives, are not only healthier, but also more likely to keep off the weight they lose. Adding just 30 minutes of walking, playing with your pets or children or other activities five times a week can make a world of difference not only in your weight loss but also in your overall health.

When following a low carb diet there are considerations when it comes to nutrition. First, low carb diets often equate to low fiber diets. This can lead to digestive disorders such as, bloating and constipation. Although fiber is a carbohydrate, it does NOT convert to glucose, and thus does NOT raise your blood sugar level the way carbohydrates usually do. Researchers at Atkins Nutritionals report, “In fact, fiber actually slows the entry of glucose into the bloodstream. And by slowing down food’s transit time in the digestive tract, fiber helps you feel full longer, resulting in fewer food cravings.”

Considering the average American only consumes 11 g per day of fiber, and the recommended daily intake is 25 grams for women and 38 grams day for men: Adding fiber to your diet is important. Not only does fiber play an important role in our overall digestive health, its importance and positive impact on heart disease (a connection the FDA has even allowed as a health claim) have been well established. Adding a fiber supplement to your routine is often helpful. You may want consider our Kosher apple-bran fiber chewable tablet, an excellent sugar-free choice.



Some people have chosen to reduce their intake of ‘white sugar’ carbs for health reasons, others because they are trying to shed a few pounds. If your goals are weight loss oriented you may find the following nutritional facts helpful.

Green tea has shown to promote weight loss by increasing energy expenditure. See page 11 for our selection of estate green teas.

Fiber helps control obesity because it is filling, slowing the absorption of nutrients, so you are less likely to overeat. A good selection: Kosher Apple Fiber chewable tablets.

Studies show ‘starch blockers’ or ‘carb blockers’ are not only helpful in the weight loss category, but also decrease the ‘spike’ in blood glucose levels after consuming starchy foods. This is good news for Hypoglycemics and those with Type II Diabetes. See Brabec Basics, Phase 2™- Carb Blocker.

Several studies show chromium picolinate is beneficial for weight loss helping to promote loss of fat instead of lean muscle. Select One Life’s At Last.

Chitosan binds to dietary fat while it is still in your digestive system, preventing it from being absorbed. This is why Chitosan is often referred to as the ‘fat blocker’. See One Life’s Chitosan 400 Plus.
Before beginning any diet plan you should consult your physician.
