Low Carb Diet – Is It A Good Way To Lose Weight?

It is a true fact that the people following a low fat diet lose weight drastically. But the recent clinical studies prove that people reducing carbs steadily, lose weight still rapidly. Look at the negative and positive aspects of the diet before committing to it.

There are different kinds of diet introduced by the medical experts such as Atkins diet, South Beach Diet, the Zone Diet, Sugar Busters, and Protein Power diet etc which aim at reducing the consumption of fatty foods. I don’t recommend as a nutritionist and personal trainer that any of my clients should follow these as I don’t believe in diets. However what I do agree with is that all these diets do follow this principle fact, the two main ingredients that increase your weight rapidly are refined flour and sugar. They increase the glucose levels in the blood, and help pancreas to produce more excessive insulin. Due to the excessive amount of insulin the carbs are easily converted into fats. When your food comprises low carbs, the pancreas produces less insulin. The unnecessary storages of fats are burnt and you swiftly start losing weight. When you stick to the low carb diet the level of glucose in the body is less and you are less prone to diabetes. 

Due to the increased level of insulin production, hormonal changes take place and you develop blocked pores in your skin. These problems later lead to skin diseases like acne, pimples, whiteheads etc. 

Some people cannot simply desert the carb rich foods because they are strongly accustomed to the taste. Such people must use substitutes like breads with wholesome grains. You can continuously enjoy your favorite dishes while reducing your weight, eventually try to eradicate bread as much as possible from your diet.

Apart from abiding to a particular diet pattern, it is also important to plan an exercise routine. As far as possible, keep a track of your weight and gradually increase your exercise duration. Make sure that you are strictly following your diet pattern you have chosen. 

I train my clients either one to one or in groups with specific style of exercise called HIIT (High intensity Interval Training) designed to increase muscle mass and improve cardiovascular fitness. This along with the healthy meal plans that I supply will reduce body fat. Please feel free to contact me at www.readytoglow.com if you have any further questions you would like to ask.
