Default Low Carb Stupidity vs. Low Carb Intelligence

Making The Most Out Of Your Lo Carb Food Plan

Low carb stupidity Believing that carrots, bananas or
tomatoes are fattening because they're high on the glycemic
index and because a popular fad diet book says so.

Low carb intelligence Have Americans lost any remaining
grip with common sense? With an average banana coming in
at 120 calories do you really think that this yellow,
nutrient-dense, low-calorie, all-natural,
straight-out-of-the-ground fruit is going to make you fat?
Compare that to the average serving of salad dressing which
clocks in at over 160 calories with absolutely no redeeming
nutritional value. Perhaps carrots, bananas and tomatoes
have 5-10 more calories per serving than broccoli or
cucumbers but try them against a "low carb bar" which
clock in at typically over 200

Low Carb Stupidity Believing calories don't count if you
just count carb grams. Didn't we go through this years ago
when we were a nation of "fat gram" counters ??

Low carb Intelligence

1. Knowing that fat loss or gain always did and
always will boil down to the fact that if you eat more
than you burn you will gain weight. If you eat fewer
calories than you burn you will lose weight .

2. Taking the time to understand the caloric value of
the foods that you are eating

3. Learning to eat appropriate SINGLE servings instead
of "supersizing" everything.

4. Keeping a food journal and taking some time to
preplan and avoiding mindless "boredom" or "stress"
eating

5. Knowing that the June issue of consumer reports
shows that Low-carb versions of comfort foods -- bread,
pasta, and ice cream -- often contain more fat and calories
than regular versions

Low carb Stupidity - Carbohydrates Make you fat, Protein
makes you lose weight - We all know who started this one!
People have somehow gotten it into their heads that weight
gain is all about the carb grams, not the calories. People
who quote this myth won't touch a potato (100 calories, 0g
fat), but then proceed to eat a 16oz steak for dinner (915
calories, 57g fat). They'll refuse the hamburger bun (120
calories, 2g fat) but take an extra meat patty to make up
for it (500 calories, 32g fat)

Low Carb Intelligence -

1. Realizing that If you eat more than you burn you
will get fat, regardless of the source ~

2. Realizing that if you eat less and you will lose
weight -

3. Knowing that Some people on low-carb diets do lose
weight initially, but this is due to primarily to the fact
that they have cut overall calories or have lost an
abundance of water and lean muscle.

4. Understanding that overdosing on protein and
cutting out carbohydrates does not equal successful weight
loss. It does, however, mean missing out on vital nutrients
from healthy carbohydrate foods which should be part of any
well-balance diet. If you're considering a low-carb diet,
remember to count your calories and nutrients first. You
should also consult your doctor or health professional
before making this life-style change.

Low Carb Stupidity

Eating lots of manufactured, over processed, chemical laden
low carb foods and thinking you're "being good" and
"following your diet."

Low Carb Intelligence

Realizing that natural, unrefined foods are one of the keys
to lifelong weight control and that anything man-made and
refined is neither healthy or an ideal "diet" food This
bandwagon remind me of the "no fat" craze, when all
those "fat free" foods were being passed off as healthy
diet food, but were really highly processed and full of
pure sugar and sodium -

Low carb stupidity - Selecting your beer or liquor
carefully to make sure you have the brand with the fewest
grams of carbs.

Low carb intelligence

1. Realizing that a few grams of carbs don't make all
that much of a difference and that most "lo carb" beers
have the same caloric content as "lite" beers
Avoiding alcohol if you're trying to lose body fat.

2. Drinking only in moderation if you're trying to lose
weight and be healthy

Low carb stupidity Thinking that very low carb (ketogenic)
dieting is a maintainable "lifestyle."

Low carb intelligence

1. Understanding that reasonable (moderate)
restriction of carbs can be a helpful short term strategy
for fat loss, a legitimate method to control appetite, and
an effective way for some people to control insulin.

2. Understanding that there are no bad foods only
inappropriate amounts ~

3. Understanding that the fact that most Americans eat
when they are not hunger and don't stop when they are full
NOT carbs are the reason that 66% of Americans are
overweight.

4. Understanding that a balanced diet of natural
foods is probably the most suitable of all the diets for
health, lifelong maintenance and weight control.

Low carb stupidity Believing that if you cut your carbs
you do not need to exercise to lose weight and maintain
that loss long term

Low carb intelligence Knowing that dieting is the worst way
to lose fat and that exercise in combination with a
healthy, balanced diet is the best way to lose fat
permanently

Low carb stupidity Using the argument; "There's no such
thing as an essential carbohydrate" as justification for
low carb dieting.

Low carb intelligence Realizing that textbook definitions
of "essential" can be taken out of context to promote a fad
diet and that just because there's technically
no "essential" carbohydrates (as there are essential amino
acids and fatty acids) doesn't mean carbohydrates
aren't "essential" in other respects.

Low carb stupidity Using the argument, "You have to eat fat
to lose fat" as justification for a high fat, low carb
diet, without explaining it or putting it in context
(exactly how much fat and what kind of fat?)

Low carb intelligence Understanding the importance of
essential and omega three fats (the good fats), but not
taking any single nutritional principle to an extreme (such
as, "If a little fat is good for you then a lot is even
better.")

Low carb stupidity Not clarifying your definition of low
carbs.

Low carb intelligence

1. Realizing that there are "very low" carb
diets, "low" carb diets, and "moderate" carb diets and
that you cannot classify them all together. (Some people
consider The Zone Diet, at 40% of calories from carbs, a
low carb diet, others consider 40% carbs quite high).

2. Understanding the importance of "carbs" as a
portion of your total caloric intake

Low Carb Stupidity ~ Thinking that all carbs are bad

Low carb intelligence ~ Understanding that there is quite a
difference between an over processed, refined donut and a
wholesome, nutrient laden potato .

Low carb stupidity Going on the Atkins diet (or any other
very low carb/ketogenic diet) with absolutely no idea why
you're doing it or how it works (going on it
because "everybody" is doing it and because you see it
advertised everywhere.)

Low carb intelligence

Understanding that most of the weight loss is due to fluid
loss .

Realizing that Americans eat an average of 200 calories a
day more than they did 10 years ago and move far less

Understanding that if you eat 10 calories a day more than
your body needs you will gain 10 pounds a year and
blaming "Carbs" for the weight gain

Understanding that unless you make changes towards an
overall healthful lifestyle most people will gain all their
weight back the minute they "go off" the diet

Low Carb Stupidity - Believing that if you eat zero
net-carbs, you will lose weight or won't gain weight.
Buying into the carb-counting craze, food manufacturers
have come out with a new term to sell their products.
"Net carbs" is a deceptive way to count only the
negligible carbohydrates that come from artificial
sweeteners and sugar alcohols, and ignore the others
from starch and regular sugars.

Low Carb Intelligence

Realizing that sugar alcohol and fiber are not "nothing",
they still have calories

Understanding that "Low-carb" labels are meaningless. In
manufacturing low-carb products, sugars are replaced
with "unnaturally high concentrations" of sugar alcohols,
refined grains, and starches -- all of which are
carbohydrates and contribute to caloric intake.

3. Understanding that because these "replacement carbs"
move through the small intestine without getting absorbed,
manufacturers subtract them from the carb content. That's
the "net carbs" number listed on the product label

4. Realizing that the recent focus on low carbs will
continue to draw people away from healthy eating and just
provide them with another excuse to live off junk food

5. Remember, any "low net-carb" claim is diverting
your attention away from the fat and calorie content of a
food.
