Low Carb Meal Replacement is an advanced blend of high protein, low carbohydrates, healthy fats and a balanced array of vitamins and minerals.

Carbohydrates, whether they are in the form of pastas or chocolate cake, turn into glucose once they enter the bloodstream. Sugar is sugar -- the body doesn't discriminate. So if you consume excess amounts of carbohydrates, your blood sugar levels increase, triggering your pancreas to release insulin. Insulin controls where blood sugar is stored. Some is used for energy, and some is stored in the muscles as glycogen (the stored form of sugar). Since your body can store only 2,000 calories as glycogen, the excess is stored as fat. Low Carbohydrate diets help you access your fat stores and burn body fat for energy.

Excess carbohydrates are stored as body fat. By limiting the amount of carbohydrates you consume your body is forced to use it's stored fat as fuel. Since this is a simple process and easy to follow, most people are successful with this diet.

Anyone interested in losing weight. It's a simple plan. Because the diet is not hard to follow is the part of the reason that is it so successful. Many people that have been extremely obese most of their lives are finding this to be the answer to their problems. However, we have a wide diversity of people on the plan and in the group.

Most people start by reading different low carb books, and choosing a plan to follow. Most people in the group have found the Atkin's plan to be the most effective when first starting out.

It is recommended that you start a low carbohydrate diet on Saturday. Some people can have slight side effects such as fatigue and even withdrawal symptoms if they are a true "sugarholic". Most people just want to be able to read about the diet as they begin which is hard to do at work!

If you can count to 20 you can handle a Low Carbohydrate diet. It's mostly just a matter of reading nutritional labels and keeping track of the amount of carbohydrates that you have allowed yourself on the diet. Most people learn to do this in their head and do not have to hassle with writing things down. By learning what you can eat, it is very easy to eat at restaurants and other places where other diets are a disaster!

It's not a good idea to skip any meal. You could get over hungry and start a binge, or turn to food that is not on the diet plan. A lot of people do not like to eat breakfast. If you are in this category, try keeping a low carb snack with you so that it is readily available when you do get hungry later in the morning.

The beauty of this diet is that you decide when and how often you eat. You should try to have at least 3 healthy meals a day, but with today's schedules that is not always practical. Many find good results with eating small low carbohydrate meals throughout the day and staying away from large meals in the later evening.

This is the million dollar question. I'm sure you've heard of people that have incredibly lost 10+ pounds in just the first few weeks. This diet does work faster for some people than others. Each person will be different. Learning what you can eat and how many carbohydrates your body can use as ready energy is the key to your success.

Don't think of your diet as a prison sentence. Once you have experienced weight loss and how wonderful you feel you will soon change your mind about eating. I for one let food rule my life. Now I reach for the sugar free soda without thinking. It's amazing that just cutting the excess sugar can make a huge difference in your weight. Give yourself a chance to adjust.
