There are four different phases in the low carbohydrate diet and they are induction, on going weight loss, pre-maintenance, and weight maintenance. The induction phase introduces your body and switches your body to burn fat from carbohydrate in your body. The on going weight loss is the actual weight loss phase in the diet. The pre-maintenance phase transits your body from weight loss to maintaining your new weight. And weight maintenance will allow you to maintain your weight.

Some people might ask why it took the low carbohydrate diet to become so popular. Well, the thing is that because people were so stuck to the food pyramid guide they tried to follow that and expect to become thin and healthy. Then after that there was a time when the markets became full of low fat food and people started eating those food not considering that most of the foods they were eating was full of carbohydrates. On the low carbohydrate diet you can have Splenda sugar, which is another name from sucralose. You can use Splenda in almost anything. You can even use it for baking since the heat does not melt Splenda.

This is also true for beer also. Caffeine also affects your weight loss because it will affect your blood sugar levels in your body preventing you from losing weight.
