High Protein- Low Carbohydrate Diets
|
The Facts You need To Know
Carbohydrates - are the bodies preferred source of energy.
Low carbohydrate diets tend to be high in fat. Diets high in fat have been linked to high cholesterol, high blood pressure and also heart-disease.
Fibre is an essential nutrient in our diets and fibre is found in carbohydrates. Adequate amounts of fibre help prevent colon cancer, high cholesterol and help maintain a healthy body weight.
The only real way to lose weight is by eating fewer calories than your body burns in a given day. The elimination of a macro nutrient group (carbohydrates) is not specifically responsible for the weight-loss, but it’s the decrease in consumed calories that gets the credit.
The vast majority of individuals that follow a low carbohydrate diet experience fatigue and lack of energy. And this leads to a decrease in activity levels and therefore a slowed metabolism.
A slowed metabolism means your body is burning fewer calories daily which means you’ll have to decrease food consumption even more in order to continue seeing a weight reduction.
1 gram of carbohydrates is equivalent to 4 calories, while 1 gram of fat is equal to 9 calories. Hence, calories add up much quicker with a diet higher in fat than carbohydrates.
The vast majority of individuals that lose weight following a low carbohydrate diet will gain all the weight back within 6 months of losing it. Here’s why- adding carbohydrates back into your diet will increase the total calories consumed. Plus your body also stored these carbs in reserve since it was deprived of them for a period of time.
The bottom line is that the, ‘best way to lose fat weight’ and to keep it off successfully is to eat with balance and moderation - in addition to that you must also increase your metabolism by increasing your lean body weight.
