The Wise Can Continue To Drink
But as the low carbohydrate dieter is not unwary, he or she may continue to drink so long as it is remembered that while 60 grams of carbohydrate per day are allowed, it would really be rather unwise to take them all in the form of liquor and tidbits. The joys of a nice slice of hot buttered toast with your breakfast egg are not to be belittled. Do you really want to give that up for twelve potato crisps? Attitude and alcohol, then, are two items to think about as you incorporate the low carbohydrate diet into your way of life--and alcohol only because of what often goes with it. Beyond that, you can put yourself on this diet in the time it takes to memorize two simple rules. Keep down your intake of sugars and starches. Keep up your intake of fats and proteins.
Remember: on this diet, you can eat all you want of the foods that are high in protein and fat as long as they are low in carbohydrate. Best of all to remember-you need never be hungry.
To follow the first rule, it will help to start out by ruling all these off your permitted list:
cakes, cupcakes
pies, puddings
all other desserts made with sugar and/or thickeners such as flour, cornstarch, etc.
all canned or stewed fruits cooked with sugar or syrup
all cereals and cereal products
all jams, jellies, candies, syrups, honey, sugar
all rice and pasta (spaghetti, macaroni, noodles)
all dried fruits
all biscuits and extra bread
lima beans, corn, peas, okra, potatoes
apples, apricots, bananas, orange juice, peaches, pears, plums, pineapple, watermelon; all berries except strawberries
all sweet carbonated drinks all beer and sweet wines
Please note that this is the way you start out. You are not going to have to bear the rest of your years without ever tasting these foods again. The reason you outlaw them just at first is to train your eye and your habits-to learn so well that you know without having to stop and think just which foods deliver the highest number of carbohydrates.
