Low Carb Diet

How do low carb diets work?

This diet seems to work well and many people rave about it.
I disagree with a very low carb diet, because your body and
brain actually need some carbohydrates to function well.

The system seems simple enough – eat lower carbs and loose
weight - but what exactly are the mechanics that make low
carb dieting work?

By now the term “low carb” is practically a household name
that is synonymous with loosing weight and getting in shape.

For one thing, by removing carbohydrates from your diet you
are cutting a ton of calories from your overall intake of food.
By lowering those calories you are obviously eating less and
this will make you loose weight.

In addition to eating less overall calories, by skipping all
of the starchy and sugary carbs that you would normally eat,
your body is now breaking down glycogen from the liver and
from the muscles to free glucose.

Calorie shifting may work better for some people, as you get
low, but varied carbohydrates. Find out more about this here.

A low carb diet is very hard to stay on for any length of time,
but cutting down on some of your carbs is certainly good for
most people and will help many to lose weight.
