5 Reasons People Fail At Low Carb Diets

By Ramone L.

Low carb diets have become quite popular recently. However, their track record has been less than stellar. One reason for failures in the low carb diets is the difficulty in trying to maintain one. I’ll discuss 5 reasons for low card diets failing, to help you make your decision when considering this type of diet.

Eliminates Too Many Favorite Foods Corn and corn products such as corn chips fall under the carb embargo. Do you like potatoes? How about Bread? Let us not forget sugar, which eliminates ice cream, candy, chocolate, and darn near every other tasty treat and dessert. I hope you like your coffee or tea without sugar. Now for the deal breaker for me, pasta! I really can’t see me living without having lasagna every once and a while.

Next To Impossible For A Family To Follow Can you imagine trying to get the kids to eliminate ice cream when you take them to the park or beach? Do you have the will power to watch your kids, or your date eat an ice cream cone while denying yourself? How about some potato chips?

Too Tempting To Cheat Given that so many favorite foods are eliminated under this diet, the temptation to cheat can be incredibly strong. Will you be able to have a Holiday dinner without cheating? What do you do about Valentine’s Day, and Easter for example.

Difficult To Find Low Carb In Restaurants I think that this pretty much speaks for itself. Excuse me waiter, can I have a piece of meat and some vegetables please? Oh yeah, hold the potatoes waiter.

Difficult To Shop For Food Everything you shop for has to be scrutinized for carbs. If you are a busy person at all, you may like to purchase some prepared meals. Well, now they all have to be checked for carbs. Have you tried do this in a society which has carbs at pretty much every meal?

As you can see, deciding to start a low carb diet comes with some difficult decisions. It has been my experience that many who start the low carb diets cannot keep with them. There are in general, too many cherished foods that need to be eliminated, and too many temptations for most of us to keep it going.
