Learn what's classified as low carb food. en-us Mon, 08 May 2006 11:35:51 EDT Mon, 08 May 2006 11:35:51 EDT Weblog Editor 2.0 Believe it or not, there are people out there who have lived a good part of their lives at a normal healthy weight. In fact, there was a man named George who was exactly like that. He had been a smoker all until he was 45 and got diagnosed with emphysema. At that point, he made the decision to stop smoking. However, over the course of the next 20 years, he managed to put on quite a bit of weight. One of his friends had been losing weight recently, so he decided to find out how. "Fred, how did you lose all that weight?" George asked his friend. "I tried a low carb diet," Fred said. "What's a low carb diet?" George asked. "Well, I get to have things I can't have on other diets, like bacon and eggs, steak, omelettes and other low carb food like that." "Those things are all fattening! How can you lose weight that way?" "Well, instead of using carbs for fuel, your body starts using fat and protein." "So what kind of food is low carb food then?" George asked. "That's easy. Basically it's any kind of meat, eggs and cheese," said Fred. "Well, that should work for me. I'm a real meat-and-potatoes kind of guy!" George said. "But you can't have potatoes," Fred said. "Oh, you mean mashed potatoes, right?" "No--you can't have any potatoes. In fact, you can't have pasta, rice, bread, tortillas, chips, crackers or desserts." Fred explained. "I knew there had to be a catch," George said. "Well, there are some low carb diets that will allow low carb food like whole wheat or whole grain bread, whole wheat pasta, brown or long grain rice and whole wheat tortillas after you've stuck to the super low carb food for two weeks. Remember when you used to hear that high fat foods like bacon are what make people fat? Now they're saying it's the "bad carbs" like the things you can't have on a low carb diet. Basically, that's anything made with white flour or refined sugar. But you can find lots of other low carb food like sugar free jello, that you can have for desserts. Anything with artificial sweetener is fine." "Well, that doesn't sound quite as bad as it did a few minutes ago. Maybe I'll try this low carb diet thing." "I won't lie to you George--it's not for everyone. If you think you want to do it, read this book I have that teaches you how to do it first."
