When you are on a typical American diet, the share of carbohydrates in your food probably is 50% or more. Carbohydrates (or "carbs") however will cause a spike of glucose in your blood, followed by the emission of insulin. This is needed so yor body can consume the contained energy. But when the glucose concentration in your blood goes down an unfortunate thing happens: you get hungry! This is not because your body needs new energy, it simply happens because of the declining glucose level. What happens next is that you eat more ... carbohydrates! Read this for more detailed background information on the LowCarb diet.

This mechanism is called the "insulin roller coaster". In my opinion it is the main cause for the fact that one third of Americans are obese and another third is overweight! And there is a simply solution: ditch the carbs!. The LowCarb Diet is gaining ground as we speak. More and more people are adopting it and there are various ways of doing it. I can help with deciding how to play it, what tools to use, which food to eat and which not.
