The Truths and Myths of Low Carb Diets

The Truths And Myths Of Low Carb Diets

With all the diet programs that are published and advertised that received the most negative publicity and a bad reputation, the low-carbohydrate diet is given, all you hear is "low fat is the way to go, stay fat that the answer "which is a number of floors.

I think that have low-fat nutritional value and can cause more harm than good because the low obesity began in the late 1960s, the rate of obesity has increased every decade since. That is why I write this, called most experts in the food industry and food, said the high carbohydrate diet low in dangerous proteins. I researched this a lot, seminars and discussions on this information dedicated to our radio program they have a segment about this and everything I have done successfully and made the other success with this type of diet.

Obesity among Hispanics and blacks have greatly increased the incidence of diabetes the main reason increased in these groups, their diets consist mainly of carbohydrates and fats, the two do not mix well together, protein and fat are mixed together well. Monitor the carbohydrate intake to weight loss is very important. Low-carb diets or diets that are the combination of foods very effectively teach for weight loss myths now.

Myth # 1) low carbohydrate diet is dangerous, the truth is that it is not, and has over the years proven to be safe and to be very effective, get Dr. Atkins the credit for this type of regime, but it is not even in nearby was the inventor to be who has just been released, which brings us # 2 for myth.

Myth # 2) the truth is the father of low-carb, high-protein comes to 1863, William Banting England, who wrote a booklet entitled "Building on the note to the public", William Banting Father of low diet viewed carbohydrate. He showed this year in helping people lose weight without side effects.

Low Myth # 3) carbohydrate, protein and high-fat cholesterol increased, the truth is that cholesterol actually lowers. For one year, researchers at the Medical Center of Philadelphia veterans followed 132 obese adults randomized into two groups. A restricted carbohydrate intake to less than 30 grams per day (low-carb diet); on the other restricted caloric intake by 500 calories, with 30 percent of calories from fat (conventional diet). Eighty-three percent of the study population has diabetes or other risk factors for heart disease.

In the low-carb group decreased to lower triglyceride levels more and HDL ("good" cholesterol) decreased less than the low-fat group. (High levels of triglycerides, a fat in the blood are associated with heart disease.) People with diabetes in low-carb diet have a better control of blood sugar.

Published In another study in the Annals of Internal Medicine followed 120 overweight people participate for six months. Researchers at Duke University found that participants lost on the low-carb diet an average of 26 pounds, compared with an average of 14 pounds of which carbohydrate on the low-fat diet group had more positive changes lost triglycerides and low HDL cholesterol fat diet group. In this study, the low-carb diet also received vitamins and other dietary supplements.

Myth 4) carbohydrate diets increase the blood pressure, the truth is that fall with lower levels of LDL and VLDL, blood pressure. The lead author, Dr. William S. Yancy Jr., associate professor of medicine at Duke, said the results send an important message for people with high blood pressure who want to lose weight:

"If people have high blood pressure and weight problems can be a diet low in carbohydrates, a better medicine for weight loss option," Yancy said who is also a medicinal plant VA Center Durham, where the study was conducted.

Myth # 5) It is necessary carbohydrates or glucose for brain function, the truth is that, if you have unconditional protein are at a low diet rich carbohydrates, where carbohydrates are not available, you call in this a ketogenic diet. If in such a strict diet, their body will ketones in the absence of carbohydrates and ketones produces a form of glucose, brain function enables this brings us to the next myth.

Myth 6) you can not eat carbohydrates in a diet that is rich in protein. With the Atkins diet as an example, the Atkins himself said on the Larry King: "You can eat all the carbohydrates your body also allowed as long as you do not gain weight." What he said, was when we got to our desired weight, and then you can add as many carbohydrates in the diet until you start to gain weight, which is the threshold for some people, is 50 grams per day for others it is 200 grams or more.

Myth # 7) I will all my weight gain back when I leave my low-carb diet. This is totally wrong, no matter what diet you choose, if you succeed in your weight loss and your diet, 9 out of 10 times your old eating habits back and start eating junk attacks and more attractive, you win so of course again Weight.

Myth # 8) protein food makes you fat, completely wrong, protein actually increases your metabolism to burn calories up to 30% carbohydrates. If you consume protein to digest your body and break it down into amino acids, energy is required, and lots of it, it really helps to lose weight, not gain weight.

Myth # 9) a diet rich in fats and proteins include fats bad for me are. A fat in the absence of carbohydrates are burned efficiently and does not clog arteries. As in the studies (low-density lipoprotein) shown LDL which is Cloggers arteries, are lowered. What the good triglycerides are high, even if the fat intake is increased, attributed to a low HDL-carbohydrate intake as above is mentioned. Remember when I mentioned that carbohydrates and fats do not mix, your body all can not effectively break, your liver is overloaded finally carbohydrates into a fat convert, unless, of course, to take an exercise like crazy.

Myth # 10) will not have the energy with a low-carb diet that is totally wrong, unless you are a bodybuilder or a marathon runner. When small amounts are consumed in carbohydrates, your body needs a different source of energy when glycogen levels are gone; your body begins to use fat as an energy and combustion. If you are very active, then it will take about 2-3 weeks for your body to their new eating habits is acclimatized and fit excites you as before. If you are involved in an endurance sport, so you need of course to be competitive additional carbohydrates. If you are an athlete or drive a lot, then it's probably not a diet anyway, and high in carbohydrates, low carb is a mute point.
