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.
(“Insulin – Wichtigster Regulator für unsere Gesundheit”/”Insulin – the most important regulator for our health”, Günter Ulmer, Ulmer. More detailed info: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3907653/ )
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.
