Starting a diet plan is easy. Nowadays many resources are available online through blog posts, articles, websites, Facebook groups, and free videos on YouTube to learn about various types of diet and how to be on a diet. But it is a real challenge and difficult to stay on the diet for a longer period. Especially with the availability of sugar and carb infused products and soft drinks in groceries and restaurants in various forms. Counting Carbs in the intake is difficult and a cumbersome process in the food you buy or eat. There are quite a few low carb and weight loss apps that help to identify. Like sugar, identifying the Carbs in a given item is time taking. Thanks to the technology and FDA/ USDA regulations to have a bar code on each food product in groceries.
