Going on a low-carb diet is easy if you know how to eat and which foods to prefer : to lose weight without necessarily resorting to a “packaged” diet, a good way can be to reduce carbohydrates by yourself for up to two weeks. to be skilfully disposed of a few kilos. But how to succeed in a low-carb DIY without risking making mistakes, frustrating the results with a weight stall or even gaining weight? And how to minimize the side effects of a low-carb diet, whether it’s ketogenic or protein? A good criterion is to start our days with a glass of water acidulated with lemon juice, and also drink it during the day. Better if lukewarm or hot. Water with lemonhas an alkalizing effect which reduces the side effects of the low-carb diet.
The second thing is to know what low-carb foods are and how many carbohydrates to take to eat low-carb while avoiding a prolonged state of ketosis. Although many low-carb diets recommend 12 to 15 grams of net carbohydrates, a normal low carb recommends 20 to 50 grams net, i.e. without the grams of fiber. Here is a list of low carb foods to help you stay in this range for weight loss. If you are losing too much weight, take an extra 5 grams of carbohydrates per week as a daily cap.until you lose weight moderately. For the maintenance phase the same rule, as long as you stay in weight and do not get fat (usually up to 120 grams of carbohydrates)
Fruit: lemons and berries or strawberries. We are around eight / nine grams of carbohydrates on average per hectogram: strawberries, currants, blackberries and raspberries, followed by blueberries. We can therefore eat up to 100 grams of strawberries or currants or raspberries a day.
Vegetables:green leafy vegetables, including lettuce and spinach, are perfect for low carb diets. They contain 3 grams of carbohydrates approximately every 100 grams. Also good for fennel, cucumbers, bean sprouts, celery, courgettes, which always have the same carbohydrate content. Vegetables such as peppers, tomatoes and eggplants or onions contain about 8/9 grams of carbohydrates. Good for mushrooms, about 4.5 grams of carbohydrates.
