Diet Carb
What are some low carb foods and is low carb the best way to go on a diet?
I am thinking about trying a low carb diet, kind of like the Atkins Diet but I’m going to try this on my own, not with a program. What are some good low carb foods that I can eat that will keep me going during the day?
Also, does anyone have some lower back exercises? I can’t find ANY that are doable without some machine contraption and I can’t afford one of those!
Low carb diets do seem to be a successful way to Lose Weight if you can stick with them.
Low carb foods are usually foods with a low glycemic index. This means, they they don’t increase Your Blood sugar. High blood sugar is a surefire way to increase hunger.
No carb foods:
Meats (Fish, Poultry (remove the skin), Beef, Pork, etc.)
Low carb foods:
Pretty much anything that doesn’t contain grains/flour or sugar. Although there are plenty of exceptions. 
Both Atkins and South Beach have massive lists of acceptable foods for all of their phases. These lists are a great guideline even if you don’t want to follow either diet.
If you do end up going with a low carb diet plan, I’d suggest South Beach over Atkins. It’s a tad bit more lenient. Especially after induction.
The best non-mechanized lower back exercises I’ve encountered are yoga poses or physical therapy strengthening exercises.
Here are a couple:
Physical Therapy 1
1) Lie on back, left knee bent.
2) Tighten abdominals and buttocks, keeping back in neutral position.
3) Raise right leg 12 inches, knee straight.
4) Hold 3 counts
5) Lower leg.
Repeat 10 times.
Progress to making circles and squares with raised leg.

Yoga 1
1) Lie on your back.
2) Bend your knees, placing feet flat on the ground. Inhale.
3) Raise your right leg up.
4) Exhaling, place your hands around the shin. If that is not possible place your hands around your thighs.
5) Hold for a few seconds.
Hope this helps! Good luck!
