Wellness Tip:
High protein-low carbohydrate diets have come a long way from frying a pound of bacon in butter for breakfast and eating a whole package of hot dogs for lunch. Today's approach features fresh, non-starchy vegetables and lean meats.
This approach switches the body's fuel from glucose to fat. Although weight loss is often rapid, it is safe and permanent. Eating low carb can also stabilize blood sugar levels and prevent diabetes. However, anyone who has been diagnosed with diabetes should always check with their physician prior to changing their diet.
