Limiting your carbohydrate intake will help you consume less calories and allow you to lose weight!
If you’re looking for a way to cut back on weight without eliminating the foods that you enjoy most, this 7-day low-carb meal plan is for you! Completely removing a macronutrient such as carbohydrates, can make it extremely difficult to adhere to the program. Luckily, the recipes and snacks in this 7-day plan will provide you with the correct amount of carbohydrates to boost weight loss, while also fulfilling all of your flavor needs!
What is Considered Low-Carb?
An extremely low-carb diet, like the Keto Diet, requires you to eat between 20 and 50 grams of carbohydrates daily. A moderate low-carb diet will range from 50 to 100 grams per day. This week, your meals and snacks will average out to about 54 carbs and 1350 calories, daily.
Are Carbohydrates Bad for Me?
It’s important to understand that carbohydrates are not the bad guy. They won’t cause you to gain weight any faster than the other macronutrients will. Carbs provide us with readily available energy that we need for daily activities and exercise. With that being said, we can safely limit the amount of carbohydrates that we eat, unlike protein and dietary fat. By decreasing the number of carbohydrates in our diet, we will also be able to limit the amount of calories we’re consuming each day. This, in turn, allows us to lose weight!
