How to Live a Low Carb Lifestyle (Instead of Just Being by Henri Schauffler

We’ve all heard a great deal in the past year about the

“Atkins Diet,” Low Carb Dieting,” and so on. I’m here to

tell you, however, that “diets” don’t work – we need to

turn our eating habits into a lifestyle. Notice the word,

“habits….”

As with many people, I have tried various “diets” over

the years – some worked, some didn’t. I have found low

carb to be the most effective - but once I reached

my weight goal, I said to myslef, "Now what? Keep on the

diet?" Or, "Can I 'liberalize' a little bit now?" Here

is a simple way to understand the issues at hand...

There are two basic factors in weight loss and maintenance:

1. Carb/calorie intake

2. Exercise

We can increase or decrease weight loss by increasing or

decreasing in either of these two areas. Therefore, for

maximum weight loss, one should exercise 4+ days per week

and maintain a stringent “weight loss” level eating plan

(less than 1800 hundred calories and/or 20 grams ofcarbs

per day. Once one reaches a weight goal, it might be

possible to decrease a little bit in exercise or carb/calorie

intake, but not much!

Herein lies the challenge. Many people reach their weight

loss goal and say to themselves. “Oh boy, I can eat desert

now.” Or, “Great, now I don’t have to exercise anymore!”
