Three Superfoods for Slow Carb Diet Success

To achieve success with the slow carb diet there are a wide range of different foods you can enjoy – because the bottom line is, slow carb is a lifestyle not a fixed eating plan. Although Tim Ferris, the original author of the plan, proposed repeating a few simple meals regularly, you are not limited to this if you enjoy a wider variety of foods. Remember Ferris is a bachelor who doesn’t enjoy cooking!

It does help to build your eating plan around a few key star slow carb ingredients though, as it makes it easier to shop and plan, and interesting to experiment and mix things up a bit. Here are some things that should definitely be in your shopping cart:

Eggs

A pretty much perfect carb-free protein food, you need to learn to love your eggs on the slow carb diet. Get free range organic eggs if you can – happy healthy hens make for a happier healthier you! There are so many different ways to prepare eggs, you need never eat the same meal twice…

If time is of the essence, a simple omelette can be on the table within about 3 minutes, and frying a couple of eggs barely takes any longer – both of these are perfect for a slow carb breakfast in a hurry. Hard boiled eggs keep for days in the fridge and are easy and economical to prepare in batches (just store away from the fresh ones to avoid confusion!). There are hundreds of other recipes you can try, if you want more variety, such as…

Soufflé
Chinese tea eggs
Eggs Benedict
Eggs Florentine
Scrambled eggs
Frittata
Spanish Tortilla
Poached eggs
Baked eggs
Curried eggs
Egg salad

… you get the idea.

Lentils

Lentils are a perfect partnership of protein with slow-release carbohydrates. They are cheap to buy, store pretty much for ever, and are very easy to cook. They take a wide range of flavors well – one naturally thinks in terms of curries and spices, but they are also surprisingly good with Mediterranean tastes, try cooking with fried garlic and oregano and a little shredded dried tomato, for a completely different meal. And if you want to go down the Indian spices route, it is OK to cheat and buy a quality pre-prepared blend. Just fry the powdered spice in vegetable oil, and add to the cooked lentils.

Food Lovers Fat Loss Review – Practical Program That Just About Anyone Can Follow!

Many diet programs and weight loss plans want dieters to eat little else but fruits, vegetables, fat free yogurts, and other low calorie but often light and not very filling foods. While I love fresh apples, carrots, and salads, I definitely don’t want to limit myself to those types of foods for every single meal! And that’s where the Food Lovers Fat Loss system came in. I heard about this program late one night while watching television, and decided to give it a try. They had a money back guarantee if I didn’t lose weight, so I felt confident that it would both work and start me on my weight loss journey… or it wouldn’t work, and I would then be able to get my money back!

Some might think that the Food Lovers Fat Loss system lets you eat as much of your favorite foods as you want, but losing fat, as anyone with weight loss knowledge knows, simply doesn’t work that way! But this program does let you eat your favorite foods, whether your favorite food is delicious homemade spaghetti or cherry pie and ice cream. When I signed up for the program, I was afraid that they were going to insist I only eat “healthy” versions of my favorite foods-low fat yogurt instead of ice cream, or turkey bacon instead of bacon. However, this is where the difference between this program and other diet programs came in: You can eat your favorite foods just as you regularly make or buy them, but you have to portion your meals carefully.

Some people might feel cheated by the Food Lovers Fat Loss program, because they don’t want to have controlled portions, and want to ea whatever they feel like, whenever they feel like it. But I find that it’s an excellent way to jump start a healthier eating plan, because it explained two very important parts of weight loss: energy intake and output, and portion control.
