What does this mean for carbs?
What you need to address when looking at these diets is that they suggest carbohydrates cause weight gain... What is cutting carbs actually doing? A lot of these diets make people eat more nutrient dense low-calorie foods. That is the key point… They lower calories!! Switching to one of these diets from the standard western diet almost inevitably increases protein intake and lowers calories.There Is No Magic Shortcut
Controlling calories and conducting some sort of fitness training works but learning what you enjoy and what you can stick is most important. This is because one type of diet or training routine for one individual may not work for another. If eating low carbohydrates gets you to eat and sleep better and move more, then great. But do not blame the carbohydrate for causing weight gain. There are many research papers out there comparing high vs low carbohydrate diets all coming to the same conclusion - neither a low or high carbohydrate diet was more favourable to weight loss. (3-8) And it is important to remember carbohydrate is essential for optimising high-intensity exercise and improving performance. (1-2) Always ask yourself: - Does this type of eating control calorie balance the way I want? - Can I follow this diet in the long run and be happy? Losing weight isn’t about controlling specific hormones, detoxing, or buying loads and loads of supplements. The real winner is educating yourself with the basic principles of nutrition and customising your diet to suit your requirements.Recommended Products
