How the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet works for weight loss

 

The Carbohydrate Addicts diet is based on the theory that some people have an addiction to carbohydrates which may make them unable to lose weight. By controlling the carbohydrate addiction, these people can also control their weight. The Carbohydrate Addicts diet includes a meal plan consisting of 3 meals per day without snacks. On the Carbohydrate Addicts diet breakfast and lunch should be high in fiber and low in fats and carbohydrates. Dinner should be consumed during a sixty minute period on the Carbohydrate Addicts diet. During those sixty minutes all foods are allowed and there is no limit on quantity. The Carbohydrate Addicts diet also encourages dieters to drink plenty of water each day. There is no time limit for how long a person should remain on the Carbohydrate Addicts diet. Also, exercise is not emphasized on the Carbohydrate Addicts diet and calories are not counted.

 

Advantages of the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet for weight loss

 

The Carbohydrate Addicts diet may be popular with individuals who do not enjoy daily exercise as it does not include exercise as a part of its weight loss plan. People who feel that counting calories is cumbersome may also like the Carbohydrate Addicts diet as calories are not counted. The Carbohydrate Addicts diet allows any food to be consumed in the 60 minute dinner block and for that reason may be popular with people who do not like diets that forbid certain foods.

 

Disadvantages of the Carbohydrate Addicts Diet for weight loss

 

The Carbohydrate Addicts diet may be nutritionally imbalanced as breakfast and lunch are severely limited in food choice. The Carbohydrate Addicts diet may cause some people to over eat during the 60 minute dinner block since all foods are allowed and there are no limits on portion size. Because individuals on the Carbohydrate Addicts diet are allowed to eat anything they want during the 60 minute dinner block, it is uncertain how effective this diet is for the promotion of weight loss.
