Eating a Low Carb Diet

I'm been struggling for a while now to reduce the number of carbohydrates I eat. I'm not overweight, not by any means, but more and more research is showing a link between simple carbohydrates and high cholesterol.

There's also an established link between eating carb and the body's insulin response. In short, eating simple carbs stimulates the body to release insulin, and it's insulin that tells the body to store begin storing calories in fat.

I'm not going for Adkins style deprivation here - that diet calls for no more than 20 carbs a day, but I am aiming for less than 50 a day. Hard though when you walk in the door craving a bag of chips or a granola bar!

I found a list of some low carb tips; surprising how much stuff is on there that I like. I figure it's a good place to start as I try to get back into eating a more healthy diet.
