Bread, cereal, pasta, bananas and potato chips are resistant starch. These carbs makes you feel fuller for a longer time which will make you eat less. Other carbs that are included in this die are lentils, garbanzo beans and brown rice. Those carbs does not get transformed into glucose.

The main aspect of the DASH diet which distinguishes it from other diets is the minimal restrictions involved. The plan is very simple and to stay true to it, you will have to increase your daily consumption of fruits, vegetables and dairy products. You can also consider eating fish, poultry, whole grains, and nuts. For better health, limit your sodium intake to 2300 milligrams per day. You will have to restrict foods enriched with fats, any sugar-based drinks, and red meat.
Instead, the initial two weeks consists mostly of eating meat, poultry, fish, eggs, cheese, and nuts. Phase two begins by reintroducing “good” carbs back into the diet. Good carbs include fruits and sparing consumption of whole wheat/grain bread and cereal. Phase two lasts until a person reaches their goal weight. Phase three is a maintenance phase in which a person takes everything they have learned and makes it a lifestyle change.
Kay’s compromise is setting her up for troubles. She is doing the acceptable thing by researching the issue however she has missed some finer points. While fats at 9 calories per gram do in fact yield more calories per gram than carbohydrates which are 4 calories per gram and as such do indeed have a greater potential for energy use she is misguided in her thinking and taking an approach where she drops her carbohydrates low and takes in high fat in her diet is perverting the facts. A diet of the energy-dense fats will not be better for her in this event. She needs to trust and listen to her coach and their recommendation for her to see a sports nutrition professional. It will take following a properly guided meal plan for her to be competitive in this event and remain healthy.

The Cheater’s Diet sounds good, but I am not so sure it really works like he claims it does. I also am a firm believer in exercising at least five days a week, which includes cardio and weight training. Rivas believes if you are just being active in daily tasks and follow the diet, you will lose the weight still. He does recommend that you workout a couple days a week, but I personally believe it should be more. Rivas also includes supplements into his diet that some say could be doing more harm to your body than good.

My recommendation of carbohydrate intake was just below the DRI recommendations. My DRI recommended range was between 657- 948 kilo calories and my actual consumption was 702 kilocalories. My consumption of fiber was about half of the recommended at 13.64 grams of the 25 grams. My carbohydrates are pretty well of but I think I need to watch my intake of carbs, but fiber is what I need to start taking in. I want to eat about 80 grams of fruit a day I will also try to eat fruits that are high in fiber like bananas for example which are also a great source of potassium. The report suggested it would be better to replace white bread with whole grain which is also a great way to get more fiber into my diet and its no trouble at all just siply changing the style of bread. Research online shows that whole grains will keep me full for longer periods of time. I admit to it that I love foods high in sugar like Pepsi and Chocolate. Though, it would be a lot healthier to drink fruit juice and maybe eat a salad instead of the chocolate bar as hard as this will be its better f...
Although the diet may cause one to lose weight, critics have found the diet to have considerable drawbacks. The Atkins diet restriction on carbohydrates is not very healthy since complex carbohydrates such as fruits, vegetables, and whole grains are found to contain essential nutrients and rich in fiber. Fiber is known to slow the absorption of food, which prevents blood glucose to rise and reduce insulin surges, therefore decreasing desire to eat. Critics have found that simple carbohydrates should be substituted for complex carbohydrates instead of eliminating carbohydrates from the diet completely. Complex carbohydrates and whole foods are rich in photochemical, bioflavonoid, carotenoids, and other substances that may reduce the risk of many chronic diseases.
In the last couple of decades, dieting trends have astronomically increased. The average dieter has trained his or her ears and eyes to react to the word ‘fat’. Low fat, reduced fat, fat free- these are all words that until recently have set alarms off ringing in the typical dieter’s head. Recently, new vocabulary, such as ketogenic, ketosis, and low carbohydrate have stepped into the dieter’s world and questioned, or rather challenged, the ‘fat’ free method of dieting. So, after you have devoured the entire box of ‘fat’ free cookies perhaps you will ask yourself....WHAT ABOUT THE CARBOHYDRATES???
This diet like many others is broken up into three phases. The first phase is the most limiting. As an individual progresses with this diet they will be able to eat more and more foods. For example, the first phase of the diet there is no consumption of: any fruit product, whole-wheat products, foods with added sugar, alcohol, and any food that is high in starch. The foods that are allowed during this first phase are: lean proteins, vegetables, beans, eggs, low fat diary, and 2 tablespoons
Compare and Contrast Low Carbohydrate Diets and Low Fat Diets The two most popular methods to lose weight are the low carbohydrate diets and the low fat diets. Both are in complete contrast when it comes to each diet’s food choices, the low carbohydrate diet which completely breaks the food pyramid limits a person to eating foods that are high in carbohydrates, such as bread, pasta and rice, while on the other hand, the low fat diet which follow the food pyramid limits a person to eat foods that are high in fat like meat, milk, and bean groups. Although each diet may sound very different from one another, they also share similarities. Both the low carbohydrate diet and the low fat diet claim that each is a good tool for weight loss.
