Your trusted guide to the low carb lifestyle
My New Years Resolution this year is to develop better friendships, which can be hard to do as an adult, especially when you move. So I invited several friends over to watch the Rachael Ray Show with me last week. (Otherwise it would have just been me, in my robe, with my morning coffee. And [...]
I really wish Jorge would come out with a children’s Belly Fat Cure. Childhood obesity is a national epidemic, and sometimes parents just don’t know the right choices to make. Until he does, here is my take on it.
I have noticed a real trend with dieters: A great first week, maybe even a great second week, third week, no or less loss… and they quit. Done, finished, next!
In the Belly Fat Cure and other low sugar diet plans, getting your sugar grams as low as possible is very important. It is also important to eliminate artificial sweeteners in your diet. This leaves only a few options, mostly stevia and sugar alcohols. While I had used sugar alcohols on Atkins years ago, I had never heard of Stevia. In the beginning I used Stevia sweeteners in lots of things, as I was getting rid of the taste of sugar. Now, though, I really only use it in my hot teas or in some iced teas when I am out. I carry a little “sweetener bag” in my purse and always have them handy!
Jorge Cruise’s latest book is a companion guide to the Belly Fat Cure. The book is small, 5×7 inches and slim. It’s the perfect size to keep in your bag for shopping and dining out. This book was really necessary, since most nutritional value books don’t list the sugar content, a sure sign that most people are not concerned with their sugar intake.
Spry gum and mints are recommended on the Belly Fat Cure because they are made with Xylitol. Along with being a Sugar Alcohol, Xylitol claims to be great for your teeth. Spry even has a toothpaste product!
One of the most common questions I’ve received about the Belly Fat Cure is “What protein bars are allowed, so I can have them in my car when I am out and get hungry?”.
Finding a good pasta on a Low Carb diet is really difficult. Even the whole wheat versions aren’t that low, so that is why I was anxious to give “Tofu Noodles” a try.
Without a doubt the best tortillas I have found for the Belly Fat Cure are the Smart & Delicious Low Carb Tortillas from La Tortilla Factory.
I have been on Jorge Cruise’s Belly Fat Cure diet plan now for six months. That is the longest I’ve ever successfully stayed on a diet. I’ve lost 47 lbs, hit my original goal weight and then my final goal weight. So I should be done with this diet, right?
