Keto, Paleo & Low Carb

Many people are choosing to restrict or limit carbohydrates for weight loss.

Some people with diabetes choose to limit carbohydrates to control their blood sugar levels. Carbohydrates break down into glucose in the body which can contribute to higher blood sugar levels after meals. Therefore, limiting the carbs helps control the spike after eating.

The primary source of carbohydrates are grains, starchy vegetables, fruits, and any products with added sugar.

A low carb diet focuses on:

• Non starchy vegetables
• Low glycemic fruits such as berries.
• Fish, poultry, beef
• Eggs
• Healthy fats
• Avocados
• Dairy
• Nuts & seeds

You should check with a health care provider before embarking any weight loss focused diet especially if you have other health conditions or are medications.

Switching to a low carb diet can sometimes result in initial unpleasant side effects such as headache & fatigue.
