That's why so many people drop out of their low carb diets so soon. en-us Sun, 21 May 2006 12:12:11 EDT Sun, 21 May 2006 12:12:11 EDT Weblog Editor 2.0 Despite the risks of low carb diets, you've decided to go on one. You don't like fruits and vegetables, so those won't be hard to give up, and you're a meat lover. So how hard can it be? You might be surprised... Boredom on Low Carb Diets One of the biggest reasons people drop out of their low carb diets is because they get bored with the foods they're allowed to have. Sure, a diet that allows you to have as much meat, eggs and cheese as you want might sound good at first, but it can get boring quickly, especially if you choose to stick with lean meats like turkey and chicken and "white" cheeses (like Swiss and mozzarella). But the higher-fat red meats and "yellow" cheeses (like cheddar and American) have a higher fat content, so you run the risk there of possible heart disease (if you do it long term or already have heart damage). To avoid becoming bored on low carb diets, people try to be creative with their cooking or find new and tasty low carb recipes. There are crustless quiches and omelettes which might be a new and flavorful experience for some low carb dieters. A popular recipe for a lot of people on low carb diets is for Bacon Cheeseburger Quiche. This can be found on lots of low carb recipe sites on the Internet. However, a lot of these recipes require planning because they have to be prepared. In the interest of saving time and effort, people often opt to eat out. It's easier than ever on a low carb diet because nowadays, restaurants are realizing that they could lose business from people on low carb diets unless they change their menu to add items for low carb dieters. Many have added special menu items just for low carb dieters. There are also low carb bars and shakes for when you really don't have time to plan and prepare low carb dishes. To keep your low carb diet interesting, be creative and try to have fun.
