How I started my Low Carb journey

So, im not going to beat around the bush with this one. Im not one for many words and long drawn out posts to keep everyone reading. I’ll get straight to the point, I followed this book. It’s called the Fast800, and its basically outlining a Low Carb diet. The book is not just that though, it also backs it all up with a good amount of evidence based research and some very interesting facts about the benefits of this kind of diet.

Be aware that this diet has traits of a Keto diet and even touches on it in its pages. It is also strongly based around the Mediterranean way of eating and thats no bad bad thing (lets face it, those guys eat well). I found it quite easy to go down the Keto route after doing this, but that’s not to say that this is something you should or indeed need to do.

I think the big lesson i took from this book and maybe something that naturally happens as a result of counting carbohydrates and monitoring your nutritional intake was my ability to control portion sizes. At the end of the day, this is the key to weight loss in my opinion. What goes in must go out. We all need to understand that if we eat a pie, we’re gunna need burn that pie off, its simple math.

So there you have it guys, this is what worked for me, but make your own journey, do you won research. I have done several diets in my time and found that doing this combined with light exercise really worked for me.

Happy reading.
