On a controlled-carbohydrate eating plan, which allows you to fill up on satiating proteins and fats and select the carbohydrates that don't send your blood sugar soaring, the theory goes, you shouldn't feel hungry. The two main stages of the diet are weight loss and weight maintenance. After you reach your goal weight, you switch to a maintenance program during which some carbohydrates are reintroduced to the diet.
