Introduction
A Try-It Diet is just that — a diet that you can try out for two weeks to see if it is a good fit for you. Keep in mind that not every diet is right for every person; please consult with your doctor before making radical changes to your diet.
Carbohydrates are high-energy chemical compounds that are found in foods like breads, pasta, cereal, and vegetables. There are two types of carbohydrates — sugars (also called simple carbohydrates) and starches (or complex carbohydrates).
Simple sugars are absorbed directly into the bloodstream fairly quickly after you eat them. That’s why you get a quick burst of energy from a candy bar, followed by a crash as your blood sugar level drops once the sugars are absorbed.
Starches are digested into simpler sugars, which are further converted into glucose. Glucose is the main source of energy for the cells of the human body. Because it takes longer for the body to break down and digest these carbohydrates, the sugars enter the bloodstream at a fairly constant rate.
Your body uses the energy it needs and stores the rest for later use. When you eat more carbs than your body needs, the high glucose levels cause your body to produce more fat to store the excess energy.
Diets that consistently contain more carbohydrates than the body needs can lead to health problems such as obesity and, in some cases, diabetes. Research has also suggested that diets high in starch contribute to atherosclerosis and heart disease, the number one cause of death in the United States.
So while it is important to have carbohydrates in your diet, controlling your intake to reasonable levels is always smart. Every recipe here is rated to reflect the carbohydrate amount and includes specific carb counts.
You will notice two ratings used throughout the e-book for each recipe. Every recipe has a carb level identified as Low
or Moderate.
Low
recipes contain 10 grams or fewer of carbohydrates per serving. Those identified as Moderate
contain between 10 and 20 grams of carbohydrates per serving. Although the moderate recipes have a higher level of carbohydrates, they are still low-carb recipes. Eating healthy is an important part of your lifestyle. These recipes make it easy to eat well while still controlling your carb intake.
