LowCarbFoods.org Launches a Low-Carb Guide to Help Dieters with the Post-Christmas Blues

A new low-carb guide by LowCarbFoods.org offers tips and advice on how to shed the pounds gained around the holidays.

(PRWEB) January 16, 2014

A new low-carb holiday guide was launched today to help visitors stay on their diet during the holidays and how to shed the pounds gained.

The guide was created by the web and content development team at LowCarbFoods.org to show visitors that it is possible to maintain a low-carb lifestyle when both family and friends are having holiday treats and sweets. The guide offers tips and ideas to survive the holidays and enjoy nutritious foods, delicious meals, and luscious treats.

“Many dieters look for excuses to eat things they shouldn’t during the holidays, and low-carb dieters are no exception. With a little planning you can stay on your low-carb diet and avoid the post-holiday food hangover,” said John Williams, marketing consultant at LowCarbFoods.org.

There is a lot of food at school and work, on television, and at home during the holidays. This could make a person anxious even if he is the most disciplined dieter. Roast turkey, mash, eggnog, plum pudding, cranberry sauce, mince pie, candy canes, and sweet potato pie are traditionally eaten. While many of us are keen to drop a dress size, it is hard to keep the pounds off during the holiday eating season. There is a big focus on food and festive indulgence.

Many dieters are looking for tips and advice on how to avoid winter weight gain. Unfortunately, the season starts as early as the beginning of December. The new holiday guide helps dieters to avoid the temptation to eat carb-laden foods and stick to their plan. Visitors are offered sample menus and ideas for low-carb substitutes, side dishes, and main meals. The holidays are to blame for weight fluctuations, stress, and post-Christmas blues. The good news is that there are ways to keep yourself calm and collected and stick with your diet of choice. The new low-carb guide offers support to dieters, helping them to maintain a healthy lifestyle. Low-carb foods are abundant during the holiday season, with plenty of delicious recipes to try.

 

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.

The sample menu adds interesting and tasty dish recipes to LowCarbFoods.org, a website that offers information on popular low carbohydrate diets and lifestyle.

The menu is designed as a 14-day meal plan and includes low carb snacks and meals for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Eating the same foods can lead to diet boredom, making it more difficult to stay on a diet. Variety is the spice of life. Unfortunately, once culinary boredom sets in, dieters develop cravings and go on a quest for forbidden foods. This leads to poor food choices and quick weight gain. The key to banishing diet boredom is adding variety to one’s diet. Dieters should think of variety as an ally that helps them to venture into uncharted culinary territories.

Eating the same foods day in and day out is not only nutritionally unwise, but makes it more difficult to tame temptation. Having a sample menu helps people to stay on their diet as it offers a selection of tasty meal ideas. LowCarbFoods.org offers a sample plan to encourage people to move forward and help them to avoid diet failure.

Although the information on Low Carb Foods is not a substitute for professional medical advice, its informative and stimulating guides serve as a starting point to whet the appetite for healthy eating.
