How many times have you heard your friends talking about low carb or no carb diets? Loads I'm sure and they get excellent results....or do they?
A carb free diet can give great results; as the body needs fuel in the form of carbs and if carbs are removed the body uses its own reserves as fuel.
The first thing that body 'eats' is muscle mass, not fat, so if you are trying to achieve a toned or muscular physique a carb free diet is not the way to go. The body will work on your fat reserves but your muscle will suffer more.
The results of a carb free or low carb diet are short lived, as soon as you give your body carbs back, it will take them back and store the carbs as fat reserves, why?
Because our bodies have centuries of genetic programming and if a body is starved of vital fuel it will go into self protection mode and as soon as it recieves what it needs it will store it as fat for the next 'famine'.
So, what is the answer? A balanced diet with a portion of lean protein, vegetables and complex carbs in every meal.
Complex carbs include:
brown rice
brown pasta
brown bread
rye crackers
whole grain cereals
musli
Simple carbs should be avoided at all costs to ensure steady and healthy weight loss.
Simple carbs include:
Cakes
biscuits
crisps
white bread
white rice
white pasta
chocolate
Alcohol
So, ditch the fad diets and embrace a healthy and varied diet, your body will thank you for it.

hi, can i know the difference between brown pasta and white pasta?
ReplyDeleteGreat post by the way. I hope more people will come to read it so that they know the correct way to stay slim. Do share your great blog with more people by joining AdExcel (it's free!) at http://my.adexcel.com/shinlryuuzaki/
I am addicted to quinoa as a great carb and protein source for a side dish. It taste great and it's great for you, I serve it like a cold pasta salad. Oh and for the post above, the difference in that while starches are processed by the body differently than the browns causing sudden spikes in blood sugar to go up and insulin to increase AND the body is pushed to hold on or store fat. With brown carbs this doesn't happen and your body takes what it needs (as long as with in a healthy calorie level) and leaves you healthy. Of course having a great women's workout program won't hurt either with fighting fat storage!
ReplyDeleteGreat succinct description of why fad diets don't work in the long run.
ReplyDeleteRemember that fruit and veg are also complex carbohydrates and should make up about 75% of the diet. You don't have to have a grain at every meal.
