Eating a low carbohydrate diet has definitely been shown to help shed pounds quickly. Â Low carb or Ketogenic Diets work by putting your body into a state of Ketosis.
Ketosis is when your body uses fat as the primary fuel source. This is the opposite to fuelling your body with carbohydrates.

2-Ingredient Low Carb Chips Recipe
Here’s another delicious treat that you are going to love. These 2 Ingredient Low Carb Chips from Listotic and they are guilt free! These crispy chips will satisfy your cravings and they are made using egg whites and 1/2 a cup of shredded cheddar cheese. You can sub the cheese with one of your choice if you prefer.
You can also make them in your muffin tin. You only need to grease a muffin tin and whisk your egg whites with seasoning. You can add garlic salt or pepper and the creator even uses Rosemary.
She spoons a very thin layer of her mixture into her muffin tin. By doing this she gets a really crispy result. She then tops with some shredded cheese and bakes for between 10 and 20 minutes until they are nice and brown in a 400 degree Oven. By all accounts, they are incredibly delicious!

Total Carbs means the total amount of all carbohydrates in each food (per 100 grams). Net Carbs is how many non-fiber carbs are in each food. Nutrition Advance points out that in order for the body to stay in ketosis and lose weight through a low-carb diet, the general rule should be to not go over 50g of carbohydrates per day.
Also note that some foods can be high in carbohydrate, but low in net carbs. An avocado, for example, has a total carb count of 9, but after subtracting the fiber in the fruit, you’re only left with 2 grams of net carbs! So top that salad with some!
