The problem with many low-carbohydrate diets is they’re high in fat. And while unsaturated and especially polyunsaturated fats are good for you and essential to a well-rounded, healthy diet, it’s important to ensure your low-carb diet isn’t high in saturated fat. Saturated and trans fats are the fats that clog arteries and cause a slew of health issues.

Dr. James Kojian of DrToHelp.com stresses the importance of a low-carb, low-calorie diet when trying to lose weight, as well as exercise and his miracle diet pill Phentermine. The weight loss supplement currently sweeping Orange County, Phentermine works by stimulating certain hormones to suppress the appetite. The stomach subsequently shrinks from eating less, which helps keep weight off even when finished a Phentermine regimen.

Let’s look at a low-carb, low-calorie recipe example to assist you on your weight loss journey:
