Could A Low Carb Diet Really Work And Is It Healthy?

By Arlene Shrum


Is a low-carb diet plan really efficient? I guess it depends upon your description of effective. Yes, a low-carb diet program will help you shed weight quickly, probably faster than anything short of a complete crash diet. Nonetheless, there are a few items you need to know about carbs that will help shed some light on precisely why a low-carb diet is by no means a long lasting weight reduction solution, how it will affect you, and exactly why it isn't specifically safe.

Carbs are a basic source of energy for your system. Even though you don't know why (and the why isn't particularly essential for the scope of this article), you already know that if you eat a lot of sugar, which is a carbohydrate that your body digests quickly, you get an abrupt boost of energy. It follows, then, that if you consume less carbs, you'll have much less energy; if you choose to do a low-carb diet, be prepared to feel a little more sluggish than usual.

When you eat, your body could essentially keep excess carbohydrates for later.These carbs are saved as fat, and that's why a low-carb diet plan can help you slim down so quickly. When you stop eating adequate carbohydrates, your body will pull on its reserves (fat) to offer you the additional energy you'll need. Sounds great, right? You can simply let your body depend on fat to get you through your day.

After you lose your unattractive fat, you can simply start eating carbs again to supply your body with the energy it needs and like magic, you will be thin! Unfortunately, there is a problem that anyone who advertises a low-carb diet program easily ignores. Having an excessive amount of food to consume (at least in some parts of the world) is a very new issue that our bodies haven't yet discovered to deal with.

Our metabolic process is way better at avoiding us from starving than it is at letting us shed weight, thus when you consider a low-carb or maybe a crash diet, your metabolic process will slow and your body fat will become even more stubborn. You'll shed less weight that second week than you did your first, and even less in that 3rd week. When you finally do start eating carbohydrates once again, your body will convert more of them into fat than it usually would in preparation for another fast.
