Have you heard about the low Carb Diet that Inhibits your Cravings?
|Below is a post sent to me regarding low carb diets. Enjoy!
It is said that only pregnant women have certain cravings that make the entire pregnancy period difficult for the entire family. However, another fact has been proven: everybody craves for a certain food or flavor, including people who claim that they never have this feeling. Let’s face it, who wouldn’t prefer a pizza, chocolate or ice cream over a bowl full of fruit or vegetable?
Unfortunately, the types of food mentioned above are not checked in the category of healthy food and, after all, living a natural life means doing your best to give up on these cravings. However, if you really can help it, but still would like to find a convenient solution, a good starting point would be to take up the Keto diet. This regime helps you find low carb alternatives for what it considered to be a guilty pleasure. If you want to have some examples of what we are talking about, here you can see a short list.
Things you should eat for breakfast
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so you should make it as healthy as possible. In the Keto version, here is what your breakfast should look like:
- Flavored yogurt can be replaced with sour cream, coconut milk or Greek yoghurt and other types of full fat dairies. You can add berries if you want a touch of fruity flavor.
- Cereals and oatmeal can be replaced by Chia pudding, Chia seeds or toasted nuts
- Pancakes and waffles can be eaten instead of cream cheese, peanut butter or almond flour waffles
You have healthy substitutes for dinner also
Dinner is important as well, because it has to feed you body and get it ready for rest. Although some say that it’s not healthy to eat in the evening, the Keto diet has some alternatives that you will find satisfying.
- Broccoli, spinach or cheesy side dishes can replace burgers and fries
- Classical pizza can be replaced by mozzarella and almond pizza crusts made in the Keto spirit
- Fried chicken can be replaced by pork rinds and parmesan crusts
- Cream soups exactly what your body needs after a long day at work
- Zucchini noodles are a brave substitute for regular pasta, full of carbohydrates
- If you like rice, when you are on the Keto diet, you can replace it with cauliflower.
Craving for unhealthy snacks? Keto has a solution!
- If you are a fan of chips, start by replacing them with dehydrated vegetables
- Cookies can be made by you if you replace regular flour with almond flour. It is advisable to use peanut butter and chocolate
In this article we presented only a few examples, but are many more benefits coming if you start the Keto diet. For more information, ketoresource.org can be a valuable resource.
This is the worst diet advice ever. It goes against all proper, independent, peer review science. Reminds me of articles advicing thick, dampened, “proper” shoes. Start here for a start on science based diet advice (there’s a lot more on that site): https://nutritionfacts.org/video/low-carb-diets-and-coronary-blood-flow/
I have received both positive and negative comments in regard to this article. This was a guest post. While some may find these suggestions basic or rudimentary, others will find useful. I know many runners and individuals who still count calories. These people will eat gummy bears consume other junk food and skip nutritional meals as a result the total calories. This article would be priceless to someone like them. Thanks!
About the yoghurt (and dairy in general):

People have been sending comments that they don’t like this article. While I thank you for reading , this was a guest blog that in my opinion can help others who lack in knowledge on what to eat. I know many runner and individuals who still count calories. They will bing on gummy bears and other candy foods and then skip important meals because of the calories they consumed with their non nutritional sugar products. This article, to them is priceless. Thanks.
One of the best diet changes that I have made is not eating breakfast first thing at morning. Just coffee. Might feel a slight bit of hungriness at morning but that feeling fades at bike or run commute and then after one or two hours of work I eat actual breakfast (pretty normal size, not really having need of making it much heftier). There’s not much scientific research on eating a breakfast or not, but what little there is, seems to point to direction of not eating it.
Not eating at morning pushes eating more to the latter part of the day. So I wonder how mere sleeping would deplete all that energy, I would speculate that at sleep all that food is processed and body gets repaired and energy gets stored as muscle glycogen and at morning you are ready to go, not really needing more energy. Pretty much optimal state for exercise…
Low carb diet didn’t work for me and eating a lot of carbs didn’t work either. Having no restrictions on fat usage and having rice as main source of carbs seems to work..
I think any diet plan works differently for each individual. As for me, Keto diet seems to work. And if ever I crave for something sweet, I just have low carb fruits
Atkins restricts “net carbs”, or carbs that have an effect on blood sugar. Net carbohydrates can be calculated from a food source by subtracting sugar alcohols and fiber (which are shown to have a negligible effect on blood sugar levels) from total carbohydrates. Sugar alcohols need to be treated with caution because while they may be slower to convert to glucose, they can be a significant source of glycemic load and can stall weight loss.
