Carb Contol
Carbohydrates do raise blood sugar, because they provide
so much of your body's preferred source of fuel: glucose.
When glucose levels rise, your pancreas releases a flood
of insulin that prompts cells to store sugar. Advocates say
that eating a diet low in carb makes weight loss easier
because low, steady blood sugar conquers food cravings.
But the next step in the low-carb equation is open to
debate: Proponents say these diets also change your
metabolism so your body breaks down more fats, a n d -
voila-few er of the calories you eat are stored as flab.

Getting Started on a Low Carb Diet
Six Steps fo r the Beginner
So you’ve decided to reduce the carbohydrate
in your diet. Now w hat? It’s tim e to think ahead a
bit so you can have your best chance o f success.
Here are six steps to give you a strong start.
1. Become Informed
Read about various low carb diets, or zero in on
one. Above all, d o n ’t fall for the com m on m yths
about eating low carb - such as that there are no
vegetables or fruit, that it c a n 't be healthy, that it
has to be boring, etc. Like other w ay so f eating, low
carb eating can be healthy or not, balanced o r not,
and there is certainly no reason for it to be boring.
2. Start M aking Easy Changes
W hile you are learning about low -carb eating,
you can start to m ake som e changes tow ards
reducing unhealthy carbs in your diet. C hoose one
or two things to change at a tim e. You may be
surprised that som e results can be achieved with
less effort than you thought.
3 . Decide on an Approach
There is no one low carb diet. T he popular plans
span a range o f carb levels and food choices,
though essentially all o f them cut out m ost sugars
and starches.
A lternatively, if you just know you’re not the
kind to read a book and follow som eone else’s idea
o f a diet, the “No W hite Diet" w orks for m any
people. Basically, you just stop eating food with
sugars, white flour (pasta, bread, cake, donuts,
etc), white rice, and potatoes (som e include milk).
This effectively cuts back on the carbohydrate in
your diet, especially the high glycem ic types. Just
realize that there are also w hite foods, such as tofu,
cauliflow er, and onions, which are low incarbs and
good for you!

4 . Get Fam iliar with W hat You Can Eat
It’seasy to fall into thinking a lot about what you
can ’t eat, but much more productive to focus on
what you can eat. At first, it's probably best to keep
it sim ple - for exam ple, you can just eat the same
dinner as before, substituting vegetables for the
starch.
5. Plan Your First Week
N othing stops a new eating plan faster than
getting to the fourth day and realizing you have no
idea w hat to snack on, or fix for dinner. Planning a
full w eek o f m enus and snacks gives you a buffer
period when you d o n ’t have to worry about it.
6. Get Support
Inevitably, things you d id n ’t think o f will com e
up. The first tw o w eeks o f a diet change can be
difficult. T he tem ptation when trying som ething
new is to chuck it overboard at the first obstacle.
T o be successful, you must accept that unex­
pected “speedbum ps” will happen, and make a
com m itm ent ahead o f tim e to work through them.
This is the tim e to get advice from others w ho are
ahead o f you on the road.
