Low-Carb

What does “low-carb” mean?

Low-carb food contains at least 30% less carbohydrates than conventional equivalent products.
Good to know: A strongly carb reduced diet can counteract many diseases: cancer, Alzheimer’s, migraine, diabetes, multiple sclerosis as well as intestinal and skin diseases.

A typical distribution of nutrients within the concept of low-carb nutrition is: 25% Carbs – 25% Proteins – 50% Fats.

When is the carb amount low enough so there is no Insulin spill at all?

If a product contains less than 7 grams of carbohydrates per 100 grams: As a rough rule of thumb and according to our experiences this is the amount of carbs that your pancreas usually ignores and thus releases no insulin at all.

What are the health effects of low-carb dishes?

No blood sugar peaks, a reduced insulin release and no fatigue! You don’t feel tired after the consumption of low-carb dishes. This after-meal fatigue is always a sign of the blood sugar level dropping after a peak.
Good to know: The glycemic index is a measure of the effect of carbohydrate-containing food on blood sugar levels. The higher the value, the more sugar there is in the blood.
