For example: the term "diet" are commonly used in marketing food products — it usually describes foods low in calories, such as diet coke, etc. But there is another meaning of this word. "Diet" can also refer to the food and drink a person consumes daily and the mental and physical circumstances connected to eating. Moreover, nutrition involves more than simply eating a “good” diet.
What is a low carb diet?
A low-carb diet is low in carbohydrates, primarily found in sugary foods, pasta and bread. Instead, you eat real foods including protein, natural fats and vegetables. There are many different types of low-carb diets, and studies show that they can cause weight loss and improve health. Moreover, there’s not even any need to count calories or use special products.

Cutting carbs is one of the simplest and most effective ways to lose weight.
Studies show that people on low-carb diets lose more weight, faster, than people on low-fat diets... even when the low-fat dieters are actively restricting calories.
One of the reasons for this is that low-carb diets tend to get rid of excess water from the body.
It is much more appropriate to think of low-carb as a lifestyle, NOT a diet. The only way to succeed in the long-term is to stick to it.
However, some people may be able to add in healthier carbs after they have reached their goal weight.

Three Fishes with Three Herb Salsa
All I know that fish is one of the key factors which supplies the nutrition to the health for everyone. It provides not only high-quality protein but also various vitamins and minerals. But the fact that some fish are better than others, like Tuna and Salmon considered the healthiest. However, maybe it has higher in fat nutrients so people can easily fed up with. That’s why I want to mix them with the sauce to make it like the salad with the olive oil. Let’s do with me and waiting for this perfect combination. Make sure you’re ready to turn to ingredients and method.
INGREDIENTS:
For the fish
1 Salmon fillets
1 Tuna fillets
1 Lionfish fillets
2 table spoons olive oil
For the sauce
100 extra virgin olive oil
Zest of one lemon
Juice of ½ lemon
2 table spoons chopped fresh parsley
1 table spoons capers drained
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried mint
Salt + Pepper to taste
METHOD:
Mixing everything in a bowl to make the herb sauce. Stir together and wait at least 15 minutes to develop the flavors.
Devide each fillets of fish into 3 pieces. Fry them in the olive oil, beginning with the Salmon because it has the shortest time. Then the Lion fish, with this type of fish, we have to fry it carefully because it’s easily break and the last one is the Tuna.
Arrange them on the way you like, make sure it has enough types of fish and put the sauce over the top. About the remaining sauce, put it alongsid
I felt so curious that whether it was success to combine 3 different types of fish or not. But once I tasted it, I don’t know how to describe our feeling. Just wonder why I didn’t know the perfect combination before. The fatty of fish and the olive oil mixes with the smell of parsley could attract us completely. One little hint that we should use it with rice or some lettuce, it can’t stop you biting the salsa. And don’t forget to fry the fish carefully to have the attracted decoration.
