Toronto (PRWEB) November 28, 2012

Art Branch, Inc., the parent company of LowCarbFoods.org today announces the release of a new infographic (http://www.lowcarbfoods.org/low-carb-diets-visual-guide.php), intended for people who wish to lose weight.

Designed by Tsveta Todorov, the lead web designer at Art Branch Inc., the infographic presents 6 popular low-carb diets that can help people to lose weight in a healthy way. Obesity and overweight increase the likelihood of serious and chronic diseases. A new study at the Johns Hopkins Medicine indicates that low-carbohydrate diets reduce the risk for inflammation and heart disease. Compared to dieters on a low-fat diet, people on a reduced-carbohydrate diet have a greater decrease in body fat and BMI and lose more weight.

“People interested in losing weight and learning more about low-carb lifestyle can greatly benefit from simple, yet powerful visual comparison of low-carb diets,” said John Williams, marketing consultant at Art Branch, Inc.

The new infographic compares popular low carb diets such as the Paleo Diet, South Beach Diet, and Sugar Busters Diet. The Paleo Diet, for example, is a nutritional approach that mimics the diet of Palaeolithic people and works with our genes. Our diet is based on sugar, trans fats, refined products and carbohydrates that are not essential. People are dependent on products of modern farming which the Paleo Diet aims to eliminate. The Sugar Busters Diet is another nutritional approach that promotes healthy weight loss. Dieters can have eggs, lean meats, and vegetables, cutting out the convenience foods. This diet is a lifestyle phenomenon that helps people to lose weight and improve their cholesterol levels. The Atkins Diet makes our bodies to burn fat as an alternative fuel. Pastries, muffins, processed foods, and starchy vegetables are squeezed out, and dieters lose weight. The South Beach Diet encourages eating healthy protein and carbohydrate, combined with strategic snacking. Dieters avoid foods that are packed with saturates and consume nuts, olive oil, and other heart-healthy fats. The Zone Diet, known as the 40-30-30 plan, is based on eating foods in the right proportions so that the body functions at peak performance. Fat is not the enemy as low-fat diets claim. The Zone Diet restricts the intake of low-nutrition carbohydrates. The Low GI Diet emphasizes eating low GI foods that are nutrient-rich and help dieters to maintain their metabolism cardiovascular health.

There is a lot of misinformation about low-carb diets in the media and online. The new infographic covers basic facts and presents a visual comparison of popular low-carb diet nutritional approaches.

Peter Todorov (president of Art Branch, Inc., the parent company of Low Carb Foods.org) enlisted the help of Art Branch lead web designer Tsveta Mircheva to design the low carb infographic.

"We are bombarded daily with many ads for supposedly healthy foods through many different advertising channels including TV, radio and billboards. Many advertised foods are heavy with processed sugars and other additives. Yet, some sugars are less harmful than others. This infographic explains how and why, " said Todorov.

The infographic uses simple images to explain the difference between “good” and “bad” carbohydrates, how refined sugars can negatively affect the body, and the health benefits of choosing the right carbohydrates.

Foods that contain bad carbs are often loaded with preservatives, flavorings, colorings, and other additives as well as added, processed sugars. Bad carb foods are too quickly absorbed by the body. Especially those with added sugars, bad carb foods are full of calories, near-empty of nutritional value, and can cause various health risks.

As well as these unhealthy, fattening foods the infographic provides a short menu of the foods necessary to a healthy diet, the "good" carbs that are gradually absorbed by the body. The infographic also gives an overview and summary of the difference between the glycemic index and the glycemic load, information that is very important to understanding diabetic diets.
