Demystifying Myths about Low Carb Foods for Weight Loss By Vikram Kumar on May 12, 2015 Many people have been discouraged from taking up low carb foods for weight loss because of the many myths told. Such falsehoods have no truth behind them and it will only be unfortunate in case you take them seriously. In this article, you will get to learn about all the truths concerning these myths to help you understand the plain facts. It’s the best diet There is no way that low carbs can be the ideal diet for every person. It’s a flay myth that confuses many people. If you take these foods and fail to do AB workouts or any other workout, you will get zero results. Low carb diets will definitely help you to lose that excess weight and keep your body healthy but not every person will derive benefits from the foods. People are different and what will work for one person is not assured to work for the other. All carbs are dangerous It is undeniable that carbs are dangerous to one’s health but not all. Those people who say that every carb is dangerous only perpetuate the myth that is outdated. You can have low carb foods for weight loss and they will work well without putting you in any danger. It is a matter of how you choose the carbs to eat. Those derived from natural sources like milk and meat are safe and especially if complemented by AB workouts. If you choose artificial carbs then you will have only yourself to blame for side effects experienced. All carbs are sugar
That is a lie and one among the equals as far as carb myths is concerned. There are many carbs that are not sugary so intimating that they are all sugars is wrong and misguided. You cannot count simple sugars like galactose as dangerous. There is no way starch will be equated with sugars unless one has a sinister motive to advance. In any case, low carb foods for weight loss have very minimal sugars so nothing to cause you an alarm.
Gaining weight is impossible
If you relax on your weight loss plan thinking that you cannot get overweight under low carb foods, you will be in for a surprise. There has been a myth that any person using low carb foods cannot gain weight but it’s misleading. If you don’t take your AB workouts seriously, the low carb foods you take will be of no use at all.

For the low carb foods for weight loss you take in to deliver the preferred results, you must regulate amount of calories in your diet. That’s all you need to do and make sure you include AB workouts.

Celtic, or pink Himalayan crystal salt • •You will also need fresh bananas (one per person for serving) and passion fruits for topping.
