The dieting and weight loss industry is always in the headlines. if its not one celebrity diet then its about a celebrity in question. He/she has lost weight or put on weight. In the news this morning as i was getting through my morning body weight workout i heard that there is a new dieting pill out over the counter.Its 60 dollars a month to maintain the prescrition. Gosh that's a lot of mulah! To day i want to talk about Low Carb Diet and if it is good or bad for you.First i will explain what low carb diets consist of. The low carb diet is one of the quickest diets that will strip you of body fat. Thelow carb diet does not require calorie counting or severve restricting what you eat. You may be wondering how this works. To give you a brief overview: For your body to operate in harmony, it needs energy. Carbohydrates, fats, and, to a lesser extent, proteins are used to burn fuel to create energy. Carbs are the body's first option and it is critical to avoid consuming carbs when you are not active. This is because carbs that are not used turn immediately to fat. However, if you dramatically reduce the amount of carbs you consume your body will shift to burning stored fat. That means when you reduce your carb intake you lose weight. Carbs include, fruit, vegetables, sugars, rice, bread, and starches. During the early stages of a low carb diet, it is necessary to completely eliminate all carbs. Instead, replace them with meats, chicken, fish, eggs, cheeses, and other low/no carb foods like fruits and vegetables.This way, the carbs in your system are burned up. Once they are gone and not replaced, you will drop a great deal of retained water (Carbs are a major culprit of water retention) and then you will start to metabolize your stored fat. Another thing to note is that if you increase your activity status i.e exercise you will lose fat even further, this is because exercise requires a great deal of energy expenditure. So when you are working out no carbs are used to fuel your workouts because you are not consuming them. The next available fuel is fat, so fat will be burned instead thus reducing your fat stores in the long run. So as you can see low carb diet is good for weight loss. Also on a low carb diet you don't have to exercise as hard as someone who is not on a low carb diet because any individual who is on a low carb diet will be buring more fat even at rest.
