Let the swordfish sit in the cold water until it is thawed, about one to two hours. Change the water every so often to speed up the thawing process. Alternately, you can continuously run cold water into the bowl for an even quicker thaw.
The consistent carbohydrate meal plan can help stabilize your carbohydrate intake by creating uniformity. The goal is for the amount of carbohydrates you eat each day and at each meal to remain the same. In this sense, the consistent carbohydrate diet is a carb-counting program. It differs from the exchange plan because you keep track of just carbohydrates instead of all food groups.
Low-Carbohydrate Diets for Weight Loss. Low-carbohydrate diets are based on the idea that avoiding foods high in carbohydrate, such as pasta, bread, rice, cereal, fruits, and starchy vegetables, causes weight loss. These diets are usually high in protein and fat. The appeal of low-carbohydrate diets is rapid weight loss in the first few days. But most of the initial weight loss is water. As soon as you add carbohydrate back into your diet, you will regain the water weight.
