      Introduction

      Going on a low carb diet has many positive health benefits for people. The two diet plans within this book detail low carb diets, the Low Carb Diet plan and the Paleo Diet Plan. Both of the diets feature foods that are naturally low in carbs and many are higher in proteins. The diets feature whole nutritious ingredients and absolutely no junk foods. The benefits of the two diet plans are very good for most people, helping to attain health goals and to adopt a healthier lifestyle.

      Both of the diets in this book are low carb diets. The Paleo Diet is the original low carb diet and the diet our ancestors ate. Research shows us that our Paleo ancestors were healthier and stronger than us and due in big part to their diet. Their diets were naturally low in carbs because their main food was meat. They did not eat grains and legumes. They ate vegetables and fruits they found while foraging for food and the meat they caught from hunting and trapping.

      The Low Carb diet plan is very similar to the Paleo Diet in that both offer foods that are natural low in carbohydrates. The main difference is that the Low Carb diet plan may have ingredients that are not on the Paleo diet food list, such as beans, peas, legumes, nuts, and some whole grains. If you are okay to eat those things, you can pick and choose from both food plans with ease. If you have gluten intolerance you may wish to stick closer to the Paleo diet and choose from the Low Carb diet of the foods that do not contain gluten.

      Why eat low carbs? What does it do for health? Both the Paleo diet and the Low Carb diet gives the same benefits to the health. One of the main reasons for people to go on low carb diets is to lose weight. Remember the craze over the Atkins Diet a few years ago. Atkins diet is a combination of the low carb diet plan and the Paleo diet plan, with a strong emphasis on eating foods low in carbohydrates and high in proteins. The diet worked very well, but now you do not have to follow the Atkins plan to benefit from the diet. You can follow the plans outlined in this book to receive the same benefits.

      Weight loss often helps to fix other health issues caused by excessive weight. The low carb diets in this book helps to spur on weight loss. To lose the weight effectively you need to get on the diet and stay on the diet. The lower the carbs you consume in the beginning the more weight you will lose. You can judge foods and their carb counts by the type of food. Meats are the lowest in carbs. Good fats found in olives and nuts are naturally low in carbs. Green leafy vegetables are lower in carbs than yellow and orange and red vegetables. Beans and peas are fairly low in carbs as are nuts. Starchy vegetables like potatoes and carrots are higher in carbs and should be avoided at the beginning of a low carb diet if weight loss is the goal.

      Start the weight loss by eating more of the meat and the vegetables found in the Paleo diet for the first couple of weeks. After you establish the weight loss pattern, you can then move on to including the vegetables with more carbs, such as carrots. The key to success with weight loss the low carb way is to lose the weight, then maintain the new dieting lifestyle. This book contains enough recipes in both sections to help maintain a healthy and balanced diet and keep the weight off.

      Other benefits to health from eating a low carb diet are how it helps to maintain good glucose levels. Any adult at risk of coming down with type 2 diabetes should watch what they eat. By eating low carb foods, the body will be able to handle the glucose levels better, helping to maintain them at healthy levels. Research has found that even people with type 2 diabetes showed improvement in their insulin and glucose levels after being on the low carb diet for a while.

      Eating a low carb diet will help to lower high cholesterol and help to maintain normal cholesterol levels. Normally when a blood test shows higher than normal cholesterol levels the health care provider will have the patient go on a proper diet first, combined with exercise, to help lower the cholesterol naturally. The low carb diet recipes within this book help to do this.

      If you go off the high carb foods you will find after a while, your metabolism will speed up. This will help you to have more energy to get up and move. Getting enough exercise helps many health ailments to improve and it is nice to have the energy and stamina to move around as needed. High carbs make the body feel sluggish after a while, and the carbs will turn into sugar then fat in the body. This slows the metabolism. By eating low carbs, you can avoid this and have the energy needed to get the right amount of exercise you need in order to be healthy.

      Before starting on any new diet plan always seek the advice and counsel of your health care provider. Most physicians will agree the low carb diets and the Paleo diet are good healthy diet plans. But you want to make sure your body can handle it and that eating low carb foods will not interact wrong with any prescription medications you may be taking.

      A healthy lifestyle requires a complete transformation from old bad habits into good new habits. If you have an addiction to carbs you probably have a weight issue. Busting these bad habits takes patience, doing so can start with the low carb, and Paleo diet plans. Take it one step at a time and turn your life around to a healthier new you.

      Section 1: Low Carb Diet

      Low calorie diet is a general phrase that can have different meanings. Anyone can eat smaller portions of the same foods they are already consuming, but this doesn't adequately justify a low calorie diet. What you eat makes a huge difference in getting the most out of any type of diet. Advertising trends can misrepresent the true meaning of a low calorie diet, while staying within certain truthful perimeters. This book is designed to bring focus on true low calorie diets, that introduce you to a new way of life. Being stronger, healthier and having more energy, is the goal of a successful low calorie diet.

      There will be misconceptions addressed, as you read through the chapters. Facts about preservatives, sugar, grains and drinks, will awaken your thoughts about what you are feeding yourself, and your family. The truth is, a low calorie diet
