limit carbs maintain weight
1. Donât Try to Limit Fat. âEating high-fat foods keeps you from feeling deprived,â says Dr. Westman. Bacon, cheese, heavy cream, sour cream, cream cheese, mayonnaise, butter, and oil are all healthy parts of a low-carb diet. 2. Say Goodbye to Pasta, Bread, and Rice.To lose weight, most people have to stay under 20 grams of ânetâ carbs per day (net carbs refers to the number of grams of carbs minus grams of fiber, because fiber doesnât send blood sugar spiking).ut you can have up to four cups daily of leafy greens such as lettuce, spinach, and collard greens. Limit broccoli, cauliflower, green peppers, okra, and Brussels sprouts to two cups per day. 4. Say No to Hidden Sugars. Fruit, that legendarily healthful food, is packed with sugar, aka carbohydrates.
