The low carb diet has been touted as a quick and easy to lose weight—but there has been much debate about are low carb diets healthy? Here we will put the science behind the diet in simple terms and then get into answering, are low carb diets healthy? A couple of things before getting started… Before getting started, I’d like to point out that I’m not a doctor and I’m not a dietitian. I’d also like to say that I’m trying to answer the question about if low carb diets are healthy overall. When it all comes down to it, it depends on the type of eating strategy you choose, the specific efforts you make to follow it, and the individual foods that you choose.

How Savoring Your Foods Could Help You Eat Less
Have you ever considered how savoring your foods could help you eat less? If you think about it and you’re really honest with yourself, chances are that you rush through meals and don’t even taste the food itself. We all have too much to do and too little time to do it.

Why I’m Trying a Vegetarian Diet to Improve My Nutrition and Health
I’m trying a vegetarian diet. I’ve been doing it for a bit and plan to stick to it pretty strictly for the first month. My goal isn’t to become a vegetarian. Instead, it’s to immerse myself into it so I’m forced to find out what foods I can eat to reach my nutrition goals without eating an animal to get there. To be clear, I’m trying a vegetarian diet, not a vegan one. I’ll still be eating dairy in my normal amounts, plus eggs and honey. Once I’m done this experiment, I also know I’ll definitely go back to eating fish regularly. I haven’t decided whether or not I’ll eat fish in the midst of this experiment or not. I haven’t so far, and at the moment, I’m leaning toward “no”.
Nutrition Tracking Skyrockets My Weight Loss Success
I’ve told a lot of people about how much I think nutrition tracking is important and there seem to be two kinds of response. The first is interest and a willingness to ask questions or even give it a try. The second, the more common one, is to look doubtful and decide that it’s too much of a pain to do. I’ve tried to talk about how easy nutrition tracking is when you have the right app. I have a Fitbit, but I find using that app to track nutrition is about as much fun as a root canal. Fortunately, there are a lot of other apps that connect with the Fitbit app so I can keep my fitness and nutrition log all in one place. I’m currently using SparkPeople, but I’ve also successfully used MyFitnessPal.
