If you are looking for ideas that will help you stay motivated to stick with your low carb diet, here are tips to keep you motivated. Low Carb Diet Tip #1 Keep good snacks ready to go and close to you. Keep cut up vegetables, hard-boiled eggs, cheese slices, sliced meat and low sugar fruits on hand and easily available. Keep a quick snack in your purse, glove box or desk, too such as almonds or a low-carb protein bar, for instance. Having good snacks easily available may keep you out of the Ho Ho’s when hunger strikes. Low Carb Diet Tip #2 Make it count. Use your carb allowance for nutrient-dense foods, like fruits and vegetables and whole grains. Don’t waste perfectly good carbs on white flour and sugar. Low Carb Diet Tip #3 Make eating special. Whenever possible, make eating a sensual event; sit at the table, use linens and pretty dishes, light the candles, play some music and enjoy your food. When you eat on the run, you don’t even taste it, and you are much more likely to overeat or eat the wrong things. Low Carb Diet Tip #4 Eat breakfast. People who eat breakfast are less likely to want a sugary snack at 10AM. It’s even better if you eat protein for breakfast, like yogurt, cottage cheese or fish. Low Carb Diet Tip #5 Pack your lunch. That way you know you have food that works with your diet, and you are less likely to order from the Golden Arches or something. Low Carb Diet Tip #6 Drink lots of water. Water helps rid your body of toxins, and it helps you burn calories more efficiently; drink at least eight glasses a day. Low Carb Diet Tip #7 Read labels. Look at the total carbohydrate content, but also look at the types of carbohydrates in whatever you are considering eating. Is it full of sugar? Regardless of whether it is called sugar, dextrose, fructose, honey, or corn syrup, it is still sugar. Low Carb Diet Tip #8 Watch calories and fats. You won’t lose weight with a low carb, high calorie diet. Calories are still important; fats have more than twice as many calories per gram than either carbohydrates or protein. Too much fat equals to too many calories. Low Carb Diet Tip #9 Plan for triggers. Do you tend to eat at certain times of the day? Are you an emotional eater? Keep an eating diary and figure out when you are most susceptible to uncontrolled eating. Then make a plan for dealing with the things that trigger you. Low Carb Diet Tip #10 Get your exercise. Exercise not only burns off excess calories, but it also helps you burn fat instead of protein and it increases your metabolic rate so that you continue to burn more calories even when you are not exercising.
