Many foods are high in trans and saturated fats, including cake mixes, shortening, waffles, and pancakes. Some products contain a lot of saturated fat, including lard, coconut, and cream. Saturated fats are considered unhealthy because they increase the risk for obesity and developing high cholesterol.
Trans fats are also unhealthy and increase the risk for stroke and heart attack. Trans fats are responsible for conditions such as major depressive disorder and diabetes and may increase the risk for breast and prostate cancer. Dieters should also avoid foods that contain simple or refined carbohydrates because they cause spikes in insulin levels and affect the function of the nervous system and the brain. Refined carbs are associated with overweight and chronic conditions.
Simple carbs are found in products such as candies, cakes, white rice, corn flakes, and bread crumbs. Eating foods that contain refined carbohydrates causes obesity and heart problems. They are associated with type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic conditions.
Complex carbohydrates, on the other hand, take longer to absorb and digest and contain minerals, vitamins, and other nutrients. Foods such as poultry, lamb, and lentils contain complex carbs. Foods such as barley, millet, and bran cereal are also high in good carbs. Complex carbohydrates are beneficial because they facilitate weight loss and supply essential macronutrients. The foods to include in your menu depend on whether you follow the Paleolithic, South Beach, or Sugar Busters Diet. People who follow the Atkins Diet should avoid foods such as pastries, cakes, and breads during the first phase.
Dieters should avoid starchy vegetables such as corn, beet, and potatoes. Unlike them, fibrous, non-starchy vegetables offer more health benefits such as improved blood triglycerides, lower risk for type 2 diabetes, and protection against ischemic stroke and heart disease. There is a large variety of non-starchy vegetables, including roots, stems, and leafy greens. Dieters can have stems and roots, including fiddlehead, fennel, and turnip.
Non-starchy vegetables are rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, and antioxidants. Leafy greens such as cabbage and kale are rich in protein and iron. Low-carb plans such as the Zone and Atkins Diet recommend eating foods rich in dietary fiber, protein, and healthy fats. The list of allowed foods includes poultry, lean beef, tofu, and vegetables.
Low-carb diets also emphasize eating plenty of vegetables and fruit, including peppers, mushrooms, and lettuce. Full-fat dairies and foods with monounsaturated fats are recommended. You can consume products such as olives, soft and hard cheeses, and butter. Avoid products that contain refined sugar, including salad dressings and sweets.

Infographic Presents Healthy Low-Carb Diets That Meet Dieters’ Nutrient Needs
LowCarbFoods.org offers a new infographic that presents popular low-carb
nutritional approaches as a healthier alternative to yoyo diets.
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. The aim is to offer a starting research point to visitors of LowCarbFoods.org. This will help them to decide if they want to learn more about one of the weight loss and control plans presented in the infographic.

Low-carbohydrate Diets for Dogs
There are no maximum or minimum carbohydrate requirements for dogs. A carb-restricted, high-protein diet can be a good method for weight loss in dogs, shows a study published in the American Society for Nutritional Sciences journal.
In fact, as long as dogs are fed protein and fat, they can live on a zero-carb or low-carb diet. At the same time, many dog foods offered on the market contain grain byproducts and grain, which supply inexpensive carbohydrates. Grains are a source of energy and provide protein and glucose, but dogs need a higher amount of fat than people. It is important for organ health and energy. Truly, some gods require more fiber and carbohydrates. Low-carb diets are not suitable for all dogs, for example, dogs with diabetes because it is more difficult to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Dogs that eat food high in carbohydrates may develop pancreatitis if fed on a high-fat diet. Thus, it is important to gradually replace commercial dog food with food high in protein and fat.
There are different options when it comes to dog food. Some manufacturers offer grain-free, low-carb food with sweet or white potatoes as the main source of carbohydrates. Freeze-dried dog food is another option, as it contains small amounts or no carbs. Some dog foods include turkey and a variety of vegetables such as potatoes, celery, spinach, and carrots. Some of the recipes are also hormone-free and contain herbs and fruits such as apples, bananas, cranberries, and rosemary. Low-carbohydrate food is available for adult dogs and puppies. Low-quality food, on the other hand, contains fillers such as bone meal, which is more difficult to digest.
Gluten-free food is a good choice for dogs that have intolerance to grains. In general, it is important to choose food with high quality protein. Poor-quality food has killed and sickened many dogs. Waste products that are unfit for human consumption are used for dog food, including cancerous and diseased organs, hooves, heads, udders, and intestines. Some manufacturers of dog food also make personal care and household products using animal byproducts.
