7 tips on how to maintain your carbs

The articles and books about the low-carb diets are critically often say it's a bad thing to "cut out a food group" and it is difficult to obtain sufficient nutrients for carbohydrate restriction. When building my menu daily nutritional needs are, I have not really found this to be the case, except at the lower end, as the induction of Atkins, the only intended as a brief period of weight loss. I found it to be all the nutritional basics just, it makes sense to pay attention to certain principles.

1 Eat lots of vegetables

Based on my low carb pyramid is vegetables. This is because non-starchy vegetables are rich in nutrients, while low in carbohydrates. Furthermore, these carbohydrates are usually packed, so that fibers are not fast blood.

Vitamin C, for example. One might think that the oranges are the ultimate in providing vitamin C, but look at the list. All measurements are in for a cup of chopped fruit or raw vegetables. 60 mg of vitamin C is for most of us recommended daily intake.

Oranges - 95 mg of vitamin C, 16 grams of carbohydrates used 85 calories
Red Pepper - 190 mg Vitamin C, 6 grams of carbohydrates used 31 calories
Broccoli - 81 mg of vitamin C, 4 grams of carbohydrates used 31 calories
Cauliflower - 47 mg of vitamin C, 2 grams carbohydrates, 25 calories
Chou - 33 mg of vitamin C, 3 grams carbohydrates, 22 calories

If you choose carefully, you can find the yogurt and kefir about 6-8 grams per cup.
