14. Xylitol
This is a replacement for granulated sugar. Xylitol is a natural sweetener made from the wood of birch trees. This tastes sweet and exactly the same as sugar yet is not absorbed by the body. This does not trigger an insulin response and is therefore excellent when trying to lose weight.

One of nature's most powerful natural healers. This spice can be used in cooking to boost the health of the body rapidly. This can work wonders for lowering blood pressure, aiding weight loss and curing depression and anxiety. Be sure to add a little black pepper to help your body absorb the curcumin compound it contains.
As you can see there are a great range of foods available which contain no sugar and no carbs.
Most leafy green (cruciferous) vegetables can be eaten without concern, and contain the highest amount of plant based nutrients. These should be eaten raw, as once they are heated they lose some of their nutrients.
We recommend eating lots of kale, watercress, broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, spinach, beet tops and arugula.
It is important to be aware when following a low carb diet that many fruits contain a lot of fructose. This sugar can promote an insulin response which slows down weight loss.
When eating meat, try to look for high quality grass fed animals which have not been minced or processed.
