How to live a low carb life
What are the benefits of lowering carbs?
- Good for long term weight loss
- Increases high-quality protein and good fats
- Decreasing blood sugar and increasing insulin sensitivity may also help to improve metabolic syndrome markers.
- You may lower your triglycerides, lower your LDL and increase your HDL.
Key Factors
- Calories from fat will keep us fuller for longer
- Eat your daily calorie requirement to avoid starvation
- Eating a variety of fruits and vegetables is key to blood sugar balance and digestion.
- Ensure you are drinking plenty of water, as hunger can mask dehydration
- Ensure adequate Vitamin D from the sun for good overall health
- Add fibers to your meal for better digestions
Some tips for making the switch
- Limit high sugar
- Limit gluten as it can cause micro-damage to our gut lining
- Protein should be in fist-sized portions
- Eating clean will help minimise toxin and hormone exposure from conventionally raised animals
- Remove or reduce milk from conventional US/EU cows as it contains A1 casein, which is inflammatory.
