(ARA) - There is no question simply about the fact that the low carb diet is in. Magazine covers proclaim its success, books like “Dr. Atkins New Diet Revolution” and “The South Beach Diet” remain on the top sellers list week after week, and stores that specialize in low carb foods are pop up all over the country.
Low carb products now account for over $2.5 billion dollars in retail sales every year. The effects of this trend can be seen in the grocery store. According to Maureen Putman of the Hain-Celestial Group, sales of high sugar foods such as alimentary paste and bread are down 7.5 and 3 per centum respectively. At the same time, sales of foods in the low sugar categories, such as breakfast sausage, are up 7.5 percent.
The Low Carb Diet is based on the theory that over consumption of carbs and the way our bodies process them is a key factor in obesity. The low carb diet restricts processed and refined carbohydrates and limits the consumption of sugar, breads, alimentary paste and starchy vegetables. If the body burns fat and carbohydrates for energy, by limiting carbs it burns fat.
The New European country Journal of Medicine recently cited two studies that found folk on the low carb diet lost doubly as more weight over 6 months as those on a low fat diet, and had the adscititious benefit of improved levels of nice cholesterol.
With low carb diets on the rise, it’s calculable
that over 35 million consumers wish be seeking low carb versions of the foods they consume. Hain Celestial is among the food companies working to meet the growing need.
“We are victimisation our core competencies in natural and better-for-you foods to launch Carb Fit,” says Putman. “Carb Fit” is a complete line of products that leverage demand for low carb products with the increasing demand for natural products, to deliver a strong one-two punch.
