Being fat isn’t good for you either – so start by losing the weight and becoming more conscious of your food choices. Sure, I agree that diet soda isn’t “good for you”. Once you get over the hump, get the hang of this way of eating, lose some weight and start become more aware (just by reading labels and tracking foods)… you can start making healthier choices. I say if you are just starting out, do whatever it takes to make the transition. Some people are more sensitive than others, have different medical/health issues to consider, etc. Examples include artificial sweeteners, diet sodas, Atkins bars, protein shakes, fake pasta – the list goes on and on. There are a lot of things that are not good for you, that you can easily eat on a low carb diet. Let the “health nut” in you come out naturally, on it’s own. □ You’ll quickly discover there are a lot of dogmatic beliefs around food and health. ![]() You can also ignore the people that tell you a Diet Coke will kill you. That’s totally up to you! I’m just saying that you CAN make it easy and keep it simple if you prefer. Of course, you can try BPC (Bullet Proof Coffee) if you want to, or make fancy recipes even. Just eat real food, and stay under 20 net carbs a day. See Low Carb Lingo to familiarize yourself with some of the common terms. Things like BPC, Fat Bombs, Fat Fast, etc. You’ll see a lot of acronyms and fancy ideas when you start eating low carb. It makes it very easy to stay on track, and tracking also keeps you accountable to your goals. You can track your foods easily using MyFitnessPal. If it’s produce, I use this site to get nutrition data. You want to read labels, and Google anything without a label. I kept it THAT simple – and that’s what I recommend for anyone just starting out. When I first started years ago the ONLY thing I focused on was eating 20 net carbs a day or less. I ordered a grilled chicken sandwich without the bun, asparagus instead of fries (which I like to dip in mayo), and a side of avocado slices:įor someone just starting out, or if you’re frustrated with your low carb diet, I recommend keeping it super easy: just stick to 20 net carbs a day to start. Here’s an example of one of my meals while eating out at a restaurant. I like very easy real foods, such as: avocado, pecans, eggs and salmon. You also don’t have to go “all organic” or be a total health nut to lose weight and get healthier.… to be successful with a healthy Low Carb Diet. You don’t have to do a lot of meal planning & preparation….You don’t have to eat a stick of butter.You don’t have to make complicated recipes.You don’t have to drink BPC (Bullet Proof Coffee).If you told ME I had to plan and prepare a week ahead, I’d fail before I ever got started… I’ve had several people tell me that alone made them hesitate to get started. Tons of prepping & meal planning is not necessary to succeed on a Low Carb Diet (thank goodness!). I don’t make complicated recipes – in fact, I hardly EVER cook. I don’t do time-consuming meal planning or preparation. I don’t spend hours shopping (I usually shop online – it’s faster, and things get delivered straight to my door!). I have a busy lifestyle, just like you! I read a few other low carb blogs and I swear they must LIVE in their kitchen. I used to cook daily but my kids are grown now and I live alone, and I also travel a lot. ![]()
