Low Carb Diet Plan - Treat Your Body Like You Treat Your Car

Low Carb Diet Plan - Treat Your Body Like You Treat Your Car:

It simply amazes me.

Everyday I see otherwise smart individuals
cramming garbage into their faces without
a single thought about what it's doing to
their body.

They go out of their way to keep their
vehicle in top running condition by putting
in the best gas and engine additives (to
keep the fuel lines clean and prevent gunk
buildup), put in fresh plugs and wires (gotta
have decent pickup!) and wash it every
week.

I can completely understand this attitude
because a car's a major investment and
you want to keep it as long as possible.

On the other hand, your body is yours for
life! You only get one. So why would you
treat your body with any less respect than
you treat your vehicle?

Why wouldn't you want to put only the
best fuel available into your personal
'machine' to keep it in optimal running
condition?

By eating junk food and drinking sugary
sodas and fruit drinks you're basically
telling yourself that you don't matter.

That your material possessions are more
important than your own health and well
being.

Doesn't it make sense to give yourself
the best possible chance at staying
healthy when you're the one paying the
bills?

I have a friend who's a fairly shrewd
business man. He sells cars on the side
to make extra cash and he always makes
a profit. He knows a lot about cars and
always keeps his own vehicles immaculate
inside and out.

He's also risen to the top of his chosen
profession of printing and has a good
family life. He's a winner.

Physically, on the other hand, he's a
different story.

He has high blood pressure which causes
his hands to shake uncontrollably. His
family has a history of heart disease.

So what does he choose to eat when it
comes time for his lunch? A candy bar, a
muffin and a 20oz. bottle of Mountain
Dew! Wow!

The reason I bring up this particular
friend (because I could use many others
as an example of poor diet) is that he
recently had a bout with hemmorhoids
which caused him to alter his diet for the
better which included cutting out the
sugary sweets and soda and eating some
roughage (Wasa Crisp crackers was the
choice here), more raw veggies and
drinking water instead of soda.

This is the premise behind a true low carb
diet plan. Cut out the simple carbs (sugar
and processed foods) and eat sensibly.

So what did this drastic dietary change
result in? An amazing transformation to
say the least. His hands almost stopped
shaking completely (lowered his blood
pressure), his energy increased (no more
sugar spikes and crashes) and he just all
around felt better. Oh, and his hemorrhoids
got better too!

Now, you'd think that with all these nearly
miraculous turns in his overall health, he'd
stick to what's working and reduce his
risks of heart disease and other ailments.

Nope!

As soon as he felt better he went back
to his old diet (if that's what you want to
call it!) and back came the shakes.

I doubt that everyone with bad dietary
habits shows such obvious signs of their
effects as my friend does, but rest
assured that your diet is directly
affecting your health.

As the old saying goes "Garbage in,
garbage out!"

By adopting a low carb diet plan and
sticking to it, you can increase your
energy and vitality, lose weight, build
self confidence (because you'll look
and feel better) and just plain be healthier!
