Did You Know?

Low carb diets herald back as far as they 1800s?  Low carb diets have been used for over a decade as part of an overall treatment plan for children with epilepsy?  Low carb diets can help prevent seizures.  Read more about low-carb living.

A Little Low-Carb Misunderstanding

Medically speaking, the term “low carbohydrate” plan refers to any eating program limiting total daily carbohydrate intake to 40 grams or less.  True low carb plans induce a fat-burning state called “benign dietary ketosis.”  This is not the same thing as diabetic ketoacidosis (explained in detail in full article).  For this reason IOH has broken down carbohydrate lifestyle information into two groups:

Carbohydrate-Controlled Plans

Non-Ketogenic Plans

Ketogenic low-carb diet information

Other plans we offer information and recipe exchanges for include:

Low Fat Lifestyle Plans
Low Glycemic Index Lifestyle Plans
Diabetes Meal Exchange Lifestyle Plans
Vegetarian Diabetes Lifestyle Plans

No Fruit on low carb?  Wrong!

Fruit is  something low carb plans tend to disagree about.  Some use the glycemic index (South Beach, Zone) others just count carbs.  Some do not allow any fruit during the first phase (Atkins, South Beach) but only the most extreme low-carb diets prohibit fruit (I can only think of one such plan).  For a list of low-carb friendly fruits and vegetables visit our ketgenic low-carb page.
