Here we go again, the whole low carb argument is never ending. Can you lose weight by cutting carbs? Well in a word, yes! Absolutely you can do this. Some folks out there mistake low carb diets for eating nothing but meat.Â This couldn’t be further from the truth. I want to try and make sense of this topic so people can be better informed when it comes to eating right.

In a nutshell what you want to do is increase your intake of good quality protein in addition to eliminating the bad carbs. Bad carbs are foods made refined white sugar and white flour, get rid of these. When it comes to carbs and dropping the weight you want to consider the glycemic index or GI. For instance a kiwi has a higher GI number than a grapefruit. So initially in your weight loss venture you want to target foods that have a GI of 30 and below then you can raise it to 45-55. There is GI information and databases online to help you with this.

So a typical meal following these guidelines would be for example, a nice steak (preferably from grass fed beef) and some fresh raw broccolli (you can also steam it). Or a nice piece of fish and a big spring mix salad with a low carb dressing or vinagrette. For breakfast, a delicious omelette with mushrooms and/or tomatoes. Or if you’re in a hurry in the morning have a good quality protein shake and a hard-boiled egg. In between meals snack on raw almonds, turkey slices, cheese, and other nuts. If you like to have a drink now and then, replace the high carb beer for a glass of red wine.

I actually ate like this for five weeks and the fat just melted off my body. A cool side effect of this is feeling great and being energetic which makes you want to exercise. This results in even MORE weight loss. The first 15 days I lost close to 14 lbs! So as you can see you really can lose weight by cutting carbs. It’s cutting the bad carbs not eliminating carbs entirely that is the trick.
