Low Carb Diets Simplified: how they work
Because the low-carb diets work so well for most people? For years we have said that the only way to lose weight, eat less fat, a small amount of protein and an unlimited amount of carbohydrates. Together with a little practice this should be the key to losing weight. Never in our wildest dreams, we believed that by eating 80% fat and protein and only 20% of carbohydrates, we may lose a lotmore weight if you cut as much fat as possible. Well, it's true and the object of discussion is to explain exactly how it works.
If you have low - carbohydrate diet and was extremely successful, like me, you've probably seen the wonderful results and am a big supporter of the diet, but what most people understand, is not that low - carb diet not only short- term diet to lose a few pounds, but a change of lifestyle in fullThe changes that not only the food they eat, their metabolism but everything changed for better health and longer life. To start the diet low in carbohydrates, have a lot of discipline, because the changes that the first two weeks to a month are often difficult to handle, but when you diet can make it through the first stage, the remaining current diet "active "Time is easy to handle. Let's take a look.
The low - carb diet is knownmany names. There are variations in diet, that any variation of the developers, often only for marketing reasons. In essence, the active part of the diet is the same. Some examples of diets, the use of low - carb theory are the area and the South Beach diet. Both are variations on the original idea, developed and published by Dr. Robert C. Atkins in the mid-1990 and for which the original diet is called.
Dr. Atkins examines how the digestion of foodworks, what enzymes and hormones are involved in the process and what are the results of some experiments. He developed a theory that eventually proved to be correct and certainly feasible, especially if some measures were taken to prevent complications. These actions are simple, easy movements such as drinking water to 64 ounces of water a day and a natural laxative, when needed. He also encouraged the use of daily exercise for weight loss and tone the body better.The following is a simplified explanation of the theory of Dr. Atkins important, transforming consumption is the decrease in carbohydrates, while at the same time, increasing consumption of fats and proteins. All versions of his original plan to use the same theory, but with changes in quantity, the exercise and the addition of some specific types of carbohydrates in the later stages of the program.
The theory
There are two hormones that the body releases in responseto eat. There are also many acids and enzymes involved in digestion, but the two hormones that we are interested and on insulin and glucagon are focusing. Although most people a reduction of insulin with the staff of the disease diabetes, the hormone plays an important role in keeping the unused fat in our body systems. Glucagon, but not so well known, also plays an important role, but only when insulin is removed from the image. We will start with insulin and thenof course, continue with the flow of glucagon theme like us. This will make it easier to understand how the process works.
Insulin
Insulin is a hormone that is produced in our pancreas wonderful, in an area called the islets of Langerhans. This small area is probably more problems than all other areas of the body in the course of human caused. If something goes wrong with it and does not produce enough insulin, things are so bad the body.Normally, insulin acts like what I like to call a hormone accompaniment. All cells in the body, some form of energy. The easiest product to convert into energy for the body is carbohydrates. When carbohydrates are divided into their different types of sugar, can swim and float in the bloodstream. When glucose is circulating in the blood, because you ate carbohydrates, only continue to rise in the blood stream, unless it makesFriends with insulin. Insulin "Buddy" has the ball in the "Club of the cells. Without insulin, sugar can not enter the cell Club, where he was immediately converted into energy (which is the highest honor for a sugar). So, together, get sugar and insulin partners such as sugar, and sugar into the cell is then used in a form of energy by the cell transformed. This is the heart, such as insulin is used. Every time someone eats a carbohydrate, the body signals the pancreas that is necessary to releaseof insulin so that sugar has a friend to help him join the club of the cells.
However, cells do not allow any individual sugars in the club cells. No, I have only the number of sugar they need to use and no more. So what happened to all that sugar, not to be in the club phone? Well, one of two things. First, you can just stay in a circle, a drop in circulation and in difficulties and create problems for all other cells becausesaturate the cells, similar to a group of people into the club to get mobile. You see, if the person has diabetes, the pancreas no longer make enough insulin to accompany release of comrades in the sugar and let him do the right things. So, sugar is back. But just to stand (or swim in this case) to the cells, creating an acid, not to be friendly. E 'super polluted with sugar and its byproducts acids. So what do you think happens tosurrounding tissues? Well, it starts to deteriorate, and this in turn leads to pain and the breakdown of other tissues and organs. So we have a condition of diabetes, a topic for another time. I just wanted to give you an idea of what's happening with insulin.
Ok, secondly, if there is enough insulin-mates, but sugar is not necessary for the production of power, the companions of insulin simply convert sugar into fat and stores it ready for the body where they may, forthe body needs them for insulin production. So, basically taking their insulin friends "Fat Club" and simply tell them to stay there until you come to them. When energy is not fast enough in a published pattern, more of these sugars into fat and fat Club Club begins to be left to expand throughout the body. This is when you see how people get fat. These sugars can never be called to go into a cell and used for energy production, so they just sit around, drink inlocal media and wait. They are very patient and they do not care how they pile up. The more the better.
Now let's say this person is where the fat is really low-rise building is a - Carb Diet. To do so, he must be to limit the intake of carbohydrates in a small, but may fall, or keep his fat intake at a high level.
Returning to the second and discuss the order in which the body uses food for three differentGroups as a source of energy. The first and easiest is to burn carbohydrates. These are the first things to burn the body to produce energy, if it looks in distress. The second thing I want to burn, and is always in the second on the list, is fat. Yes, if not the carbohydrates, the body burn fat for energy security. It breaks the fat into a form of carbohydrates and the oven door to the cell where energy is converted them; weeeeeeeeeee! The last thingThe body would be used for the energy of the protein. Why? Because this is what the body are made of tissues and organs. Yes, it's your body, skin, hair, everything from protein, which is the structure of the human body. When the body starts using protein for energy, it means that it take its normal fuel from fats, carbohydrates e. This is a bad thing and probably means that this person starve to death. This is the way in which the body does, however, has no choice butbecause it is just trying to survive and people can not survive without energy. Make small pieces of your organs, such as heart, lung, liver, and yes, even the brain, and burn them. Yes, this is essentially what happens when you start the body's proteins on fire.
Ok, now let's go back to the history of fat storage. All of these fat cells to hang around and wait to be converted to a form of energy, but it never comes. So, wait and accumulate more and more. But as wesaid, our person is now in a low - carb diet many times we want to see what happens.
Carbohydrates are very few and those who are coming now used to produce energy. The oven heated Cell and ready to go, but there is enough energy to not only convert carbohydrates to come. Ok, head of brain cells called up and said, "we are ready to burn carbohydrates, but not to go What's up? Play" The brain simply says, "not" Worry, I'll take care of him. "The contacts of the pancreas and the brain says" go back on insulin release and, instead, the release of glucagon and say it will convert fats, sugars that can see around and sends the cells to produce energy. be transformed "The pancreas does what the brain tells you. closes the valves of insulin and glucagon-open the valves open. The release of glucagon and goes to the club picking on fat Fat> Carbohydrates. These carbohydrates are immediately sent the miners in the oven Cell insulin and everyone is happy.
It is not only of insulin in the body in excess carbohydrates into fat club. It 's still used very efficiently and not much of it is rejected because it is not necessary. The valves as just opened. The cells are happy because they get the carbohydrates for energy, rather than the mass of sugar hangingin the tears of the place. The pancreas is happy because they do not waste more of insulin and can relax a bit '.
The results are in!
So, let's see if you are careful;
If insulin is diminished considerably, and glucagon increased and the work of the entire body, reducing the fat into fuel and use this fuel is burned by the Cell Ovens, what you have experienced our "fat"?
You said "the weight loss?"Be careful!
Of course you understand what's happening. Since the body does not, of itself, more carbohydrates, it needs to find another fuel source. This fuel source is the natural source of secondary body fat stored around the boys and glucagon release and conversion into fuel.
Now, keep in mind that when glucagon converts that fat into a source of energy, the chemical reaction is not the same as those that happenedWhen carbohydrates used as fuel. You see, when fat is converted into fuel, there is a substance called "ketones."
Normally, the production of ketones means that your body can not use carbohydrates as fuel to do with them to grease the system is in place. Well, yes, that's what happens here, too, but not a malfunction. No, you did it on purpose so the production of ketones is not a bad thing in this case. So if you go to your doctor and he ortells you that you are a high ketone, be sure and tell them that you are on a diet low in carbohydrates.'ll understand and will not be with the number of your high ketone with the exception of a problem to be affected. If your ketones are high, the kidneys get rid of them for you. If the ketones, which are large molecules are filtered from the body through the kidneys do not have a lot of washing liquid through, they tend to settle in the kidneys and cause all sorts of problems.There is a very simple solution. Drink plenty of water. Do not hold back. Do it, drink at least 64 ounces of water each day to participate and do not have the problem ... ok?
So if your body is constantly burning fat, and this for a long period of time, why not introduce a series of carbohydrate in the trash, the result is much leaner and your cholesterol and triglycerides and other bad things that are in circulationThe blood is reduced, and you'll be much healthier. Your energy level will be higher, many of the chronic health problems have had six, go to either completely disappeared or reduced significantly. It works, folks. There are simply too much evidence.
It may be some problems with the low - carb diet, but for most it is a highly effective and feasible nutrition.
As always, please consult your doctor and read about whatlow-carb diet information as possible before you start the game.
Read Dr. Atkins book "Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution." E 'that started it all.
Another great book to read "Protein Power" by Drs Michael and Mary Eades.
