June 14, 2012 - PRLog -- LowCarbFoods.org, today announces publication of its new infographic, designed to make it easier for the dieter to recognize and choose healthy, low carb foods.

With summer just around the corner, many dieters are working hard to shed extra pounds. The new infographic from LowCarbFoods.org helps them take the first step in healthy eating (http://www.lowcarbfoods.org/good-carbs-vs-bad-carbs.php).

Peter Todorov (president of Art Branch, Inc., the parent company of Low Carb Foods.org) enlisted the help of Art Branch lead web designer Tsveta Mircheva to design the low carb infographic.

"We are bombarded daily with many ads for supposedly healthy foods through many different advertising channels including TV, radio and billboards. Many advertised foods are heavy with processed sugars and other additives. Yet, some sugars are less harmful than others. This infographic explains how and why, " said Todorov.

The infographic uses simple images to explain the difference between “good” and “bad” carbohydrates, how refined sugars can negatively affect the body, and the health benefits of choosing the right carbohydrates.

Foods that contain bad carbs are often loaded with preservatives, flavorings, colorings, and other additives as well as added, processed sugars. Bad carb foods are too quickly absorbed by the body. Especially those with added sugars, bad carb foods are full of calories, near-empty of nutritional value, and can cause various health risks.

As well as these unhealthy, fattening foods the infographic provides a short menu of the foods necessary to a healthy diet, the "good" carbs that are gradually absorbed by the body. The infographic also gives an overview and summary of the difference between the glycemic index and the glycemic load, information that is very important to understanding diabetic diets.
