Dreamfields has created a low carb pasta that can be very beneficial for low carb diet plans and weight loss in general. This low carb pasta is manufactured in such a way that the carbs are bound up extra tight with fiber and are “protected” from digestion. Dreamfields low carb pasta has been clinically tested to have a 65% lower impact on blood sugar than regular pasta, which would be very beneficial for low carb diet plans.

Dreamfields low carb pasta tastes just like regular pasta, and it can be a good way to allow pasta on low carb diet plans and others as well. The key is not to overdue it and still eat in moderation even though it is low carb. How low carb the Dreamfields pasta really is can depend on various factors, such as how long it is cooked, which type of pasta you get (thicker is harder to digest), and what else you eat or drink with it.

Taking nutritional supplements can have multiple benefits to any diet plan, but an extra benefit can be psychological. Just the act of taking a supplement is an extra action you do every day to help your weight loss efforts, and it is a very simple task to complete. Even if you are having a bad diet day, you are still taking small steps in the right direction that you can feel good about. It is an easy regimen to follow and maintain, which can help prop-up your diet plan with some extra structure.

It can also be a good measure of your motivation; if you find your not keeping up with such a simple plan, then it is a warning that you need to re-focus on your diet plan as a whole.

Which supplements to take will be discussed in other posts, but the most basic choice is just a good multivitamin and mineral formula. I personally use Twinlab Daily One (without iron*). Women should use the version with iron. I usually won’t buy more than the 90 tab bottle (3 month supply) so that the vitamins stay fresh.

* It is sometimes recommended that men avoid iron supplementation unless they regularly donate blood because some studies have linked excess blood iron to cardiovascular disease.

Start slowly if you have been inactive, but work your way up to at least 20 minutes of continuous exercise at least 3 times a week. A good walk with a little faster pace is a good way to get started without too much stress on the body (a treadmill in front of the TV is good option for some people.) Many consider exercise the best way to improve overall health, and it is one of the best ways to speed up weight loss no matter what diet plan your are on. Twenty minutes of cardiovascular exercise will boost you metabolism and help keep it up at a higher level. After 30 to 40 minutes of cardiovascular exercise, your body will start to burn fat off directly.

Protein and fiber (and even fat) help to slow down the conversion of carbs to blood sugar, so make sure every meal has a good amount of protein and fiber. High protein meals also tend to boost your metabolism. This will help just about any type of diet plan you might be on.

Avoid eating in the period of 4-5 hours or so before you go to bed. Especially avoid carbs, even if you are not on a low carb diet plan; if you absolutely need a snack try a lean protein (slice of turkey, protein shake, etc…) This will help just about any type of diet you might be on.

Within 30 minutes of waking up each morning, either start exercising or eat something. This will boost your metabolism and keep it at a higher level through out the day which will increase weight loss on your diet. High protein meals with carbs is the best food approach. Of course, exercise then a good meal works even better, but the key is you need to do at least one in the first 30 minutes you are wake to get a better metabolism surge through out the day and improve the effects of your diet plan.

Move away from thinking in terms of what is or what is not breakfast food, and feel free to eat “dinner” foods (with the occasional dessert) in the morning. If you really need to cheat on your diet plan, morning is the best time to do it and will have a smaller effect on weight loss.

If the portion looks too small, then tell yourself you will eat a little more if you are still hungry 40-45 minutes later. Don’t think you have to eat everything during a designated meal time. Give the food a chance to settle, and if you are still hungry later then eat a snack. As a key part of many diet plans, you have to experiment with portion sizes and find what works best, and sometimes you have to convince yourself that a little smaller portion is just as satisfying in the long run. The goal is to optimize weight loss while not getting overly hungry or tired.

The plan should be for morning meals being bigger than evening meals, but bigger is a relative term when you are on a diet. The meal should not be too big. You should feel energized after eating, not overly full and weighed down. It is easier to lose weight if your blood sugar stays pretty level, and too big of a meal can affect your metabolism and hurt your diet goals.

Move away from the traditional three meals a day and instead eat smaller meals more frequently through out the day. Adjust your diet plan so that you eat your bigger, more carb-heavy meals earlier in the day and eat lighter and less carbs as the day goes by to really help your diet.
