The Low Carb Diet: Toughing Out The First 10 Days, #6

By David Bale

What is The Low-Carb Diet?

There are different types of low-carb diets, including the Atkins Diet, Zone Diet, Ketogenic Diets, Sugar Busters!, South Beach Diet, Paleo Diet and the Bernstein’s Diabetes Diet.

Many of these are targeted toward people who have or are on the path to type 2 diabetes since high amounts of sugar can cause insulin resistance over time. This means your insulin hormone is not working properly and normally leads to weight gain.

Some people follow the diet for just a few months until they have lost enough weight or their risk of type 2 diabetes is mitigated. Other people become accustomed to eating other foods, such as more fruits and vegetables and stick to the diet long term.

Making the Low-Carb Diet Work For You

As with any diet, the biggest lifestyle changes will revolve around changing the foods you are eating.

This will affect what foods you purchase, how you plan meals and how you cook, to start. The first 10 days of the diet will be the most challenging since you will be getting used to new foods and trying to remember what not to eat.

The longer you have followed unhealthy eating habits the longer it may take to get all the necessary changes to stick.

10 Days Later....

After even a week on the diet you will have more energy to do things that you have always put on the back burner.

Take advantage of this energy boost and become more active. Exercise goes hand-in-hand with your low-carb diet and you will reach your goals faster when even incorporating a walk or light bike ride a few times per week.

You will be reducing your risk of depression and mental disorders and boosting your immune system. One positive life change that sticks will naturally lead to others and after a few months you won’t recognize the person you used to be.
