Low Carb Diets - The South Beach Diet, Atkins Diet, Zone Diet, and More
By Carrie Reeder
The low carb diet craze has become extremely popular amongst dieters. From diet books, free low carb diet plans, online dieting sites, and thousands of low carb recipes, low carb diets have produced favorable results for millions of overweight people. Along with the Atkins Diet and the South Beach diet, there are many other low carb diet plans. The Suzanne Sommers Diet and The Zone Diet are popular choices as well, each promising to be more effective than the other. Each of these diet plans includes recipes, menus, and helpful diet tips designed to help you lose weight quickly and maintain your weight loss.

If you are considering beginning a low carb diet, keep in mind that each low carb diet plan allows for differing amounts of carbohydrates that you may consume. Some allow little to no carbohydrates and others allow for only certain types of carbohydrates. You will find hundreds to thousands of low carb recipes and meal plans. Switching to a low carb lifestyle is not the answer if bread, potatoes, and pasta are staples in your diet. If you can live without these types of foods, low carb may be the perfect diet plan for you.

Low carb recipes limit the amount of carbohydrates you consume while allowing you to enjoy a variety of foods. There are delicious recipes available that are sure to please your entire family and limit the number of carbohydrate grams you are eating at the same time. The South Beach program allows for a gradual increase in carbohydrates as your body adjusts to your new eating habits. The South Beach Diet is somewhat less restrictive than The Atkins Diet. The Zone Diet and The Suzanne Sommers Diet stress not only a low carb lifestyle, but also combining certain foods to increase your body's fat burning ability. Other less well-known low carb diet plans may be just as effective for you as the more famous diet plans.

Beginning a low carb diet and lifestyle will require discipline and determination, but can be very helpful in your quest to lose weight. Search the diet plans and recipes that are available to you until you find the one that will best suit your individual needs. Free diet plans and recipes are also readily available.

Food For Thought Scripture #29
Joe 2:12 "Even now," declares the LORD, "return to me with all your heart, with fasting and weeping and mourning."
Foods Of The Bible #26
Meat "Everything that lives and moves will be food for you. Just as I gave you the green plants, I now give you everything." Genesis 9:3
Awakened Week 18
Eze 16:27 Behold therefore, I have stretched out my hand over thee, and have diminished thine ordinary food, and delivered thee unto the will of them that hate thee, the daughters of the Philistines, that are ashamed of thy lewd way. That sums it up perfectly for us awakened dieters. Our ordinary food was extraordinary and now it is diminished. We have been delivered to the sluggish metabolisms and it works against us at the slightest variant in our diet routine. We fall off the wagon one bump at a time and we are ashamed at our lewd relapses. O.K, I did add some writer liberties in... (more)
Food For Thought Scripture #28
Gen 3:18 Thorns also and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the field;
Foods Of The Bible #25
Honey "Then their father Israel said to them, If it must be, then do this: Put some of the best products of the land in your bags and take them down to the man as a gift, a little balm and a little honey, some spices and myrrh, some pistachio nuts and almonds." Genesis 43:11
Awakened Week 17
Exo 16:3 And the people of Israel said to them, "Would that we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the meat pots and ate bread to the full, for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger." This pains me to write on this verse. Can you imagine accusing someone and God of intent to kill you with hunger? Outlandish! Yet for those that will not embark on a diet, this is mumbled under the breath. How many times I have heard, "I can't diet. I am hungry all the time." Feeling the tummy grumble occasionally becomes the... (more)
Food For Thought Scripture #27
Psa 78:25 Man did eat angels' food: he sent them meat to the full.
Foods Of The Bible #24
Honey "...honey and curds, sheep, and cheese from cows' milk for David and his people to eat. For they said, The people have become hungry and tired and thirsty in the desert." 2 Samuel 17:29
Awakened Week 16
Jas 2:15-16 If a brother or sister be naked, and destitute of daily food, And one of you say unto them, Depart in peace, be ye warmed and filled; notwithstanding ye give them not those things which are needful to the body; what doth it profit? The context of this verse is certainly to alert us to charity and good works and loving our neighbor as ourselves. Yet, we cannot help but to note that food indeed is needful and that as dieters we must face either being in subjection to it, or being in control over it. Food became an addiction to us, and although it is not the most difficult of... (more)
Food For Thought Scripture #26
Luk 5:33 And they said unto him, Why do the disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, and likewise the disciples of the Pharisees; but thine eat and drink?
