Low-Carb Healthy Choice Meals

Low-carbohydrate diets were largely popularized with the release of the Atkin's Diet in 2004. Low-carb diets limit foods high in carbohydrates -- including rice, fruits, breads, grains and starchy vegetables. This type of diet places an emphasis on foods high in protein and fat. Low-carb diets help you to lose water weight, increase your feeling of fullness and reduce the amount of calories you take in. The Food manufacturer Healthy Choice provides numerous low-carb meals.
