5. Supplement Use
When you start a low carb diet you are going to experience some serious cravings for carbohydrates. There are some supplements available that can help to curb these cravings. Some of these include vanadium and chromium, amino acids, or L-tryptophan. However, it is important to be very careful when you are using supplements on your diet. While there are some supplements that can help to stave off cravings, they should not be your go-to the source of nutrients for long periods of time.
In addition, if you are planning to use supplements on your low carb diet it is very important to make sure that you are getting them from a reputable source as there are many supplements out there that are simply not good for you. You also need to discuss any supplements that you are taking with your doctor to ensure that they are okay for you to take.
