    Are You A Carb Addict?

    It has been estimated that three out of every four overweight people are addicted to carbohydrates. But what does this mean? In essence, it means that you have too much of the hormone insulin in your system. This insulin prompts you to eat often and to consume the wrong types of foods. Some of the tell-tale signs of carbohydrate addiction include fatigue, mood swings, and migraines which can be caused by low blood sugar.

    A carb addiction can lead you to consume a whole bag of pretzels at one sitting, or to indulge in half a cake at dinner time. Your body is conditioned to eat as a lot carbs as possible. Thus, it may seem that at periods you're never really satisfied - no matter how much or how often you eat.

    On the official Carb Addicts plan, you eat two meals composed of vegetables and protein; the other meal comprises of protein, vegetables that are not filled with starch, and carbohydrates. During this last meal, known as the reward meal, you could even eat dessert. The trick is to skip the carbs for two meals each day.

    The authors of the program believe that, if you follow this regimen, you will lose your cravings for carbohydrates in time. If your urge to consume carbs does not disappear by the second week of the program, they advocate checking your diet to observe whether you're following the program closely.

    With the Carb Addicts plan, like other diet plans, you need to closely monitor your portion sizes. All of your difficult work would be in vain if you enable yourself to overindulge in sweets - even if it's for only one meal a day. Also, you need to make certainly that the protein you consume is not high in fat. You may want to eat fish, chicken with the skin removed, or lean meats when trying to get a protein source.

    Another necessary aspect of the Carb Addicts scheme is that you're not allowed artificial sweetener except during your reward meal. This can be quite a challenge, especially if you're accustomed to sweetened coffee in the morning. However, it can be well worth the deprivation in the long sprint as you observe those pounds melt away.

    There is no set time for the reward meal; however the authors of the scheme recommend that the meal take place in the evening. This is because it can take 12 to 24 hours for the body to overcome carbohydrate overload. There is also a psychological advantage to having the meal at night. It gives you something to look forward to all day long.

    You should commence your reward meal with a salad, such as a Caesar salad or an Oriental salad, then divide the rest of the meal into thirds: One third should consist of low-carb vegetables, one-third protein, and one-third carbs. This formula has proven successful in enabling individuals to attain long-term weight loss.

    As with a lot other meal plans, the biggest challenge for those who are on the Carb Addicts Diet is the capability to stick with it. Dieting can be difficult work, no matter what kind of rewards await an individual at the end of the day. Your commitment will allow you to stay with the program, even when it becomes particularly challenging.

    Surf the World Wide Web, and you'll find a number of testimonials offering glowing reviews of the Carb Addicts Diet. But you should remember that outcomes can differ from individual to individual. While some people might see quick weight loss with the Carb Addicts plan, others may observe only moderate weight loss. The success of the program may depend on your own individual physiology.

    Is the Carb Addicts Diet a fad? It all depends on who you talk to. While some people observe it as a significant dietary breakthrough, others view it as just a passing fancy. Medical experts disagree as to whether the Carb Addicts Diet represents sound nutrition. In the end, you, in consultation with your personal physician, will have to decide whether the Carb Addicts Diet will work for you.
