Here Is What You Need To Know About Weight Loss

Weight loss purely refers to lowering of body mass, whether it is by reducing fat or water content and whether it is intended or not. Oftentimes you want to lose weight, and sometimes medical conditions can cause weight loss. Unintentional weight loss is generally a reason for nervousness and calls for a visit to your doctor. When you lose weight, you can lose fat, muscle, or water content- or a combination of muscle and water. If you're overweight, exercise and dieting can help you to lessen your overall weight and body mass. Unintentional Weight Loss If you see that you start losing weight without struggling, there are often a few issues at work. Various medical conditions can cause this to happen. For instance, if you have Type I diabetes and it is not handled well, you can begin to lose weight without trying. This is since your body begins burning fat and muscle for energy given that it cannot get access to the glucose from the foods you are eating. This is a life-threatening c...

Ketogenic Diet And Low-Fat Diet

Much has been said about ketogenic diet over the years, and with celebrities like Megan Fox Mick Jagger, and Adriana Lima being diet-friendly proponents, it remains popular. What's the real difference between ketogenic diets and low-fat diets? Although many can swear to minimize fat consumption, studies show low carb plans are often more successful for both weight loss and low cholesterol. Ketogenic diet There are several low carbohydrate diets, but the ketogenic diet usually limits your carb intake to 20-50 grams per day. The ketogenic diet requires you to enter ketosis, which usually does not occur unless you consume about 20 grams of carbohydrates a day. Looks like this when you're on a ketogenic diet: Breakfast: bacon, pancakes, cheese , milk and stevia coffee Snack: 1 ounce cucumber cheese or celery Lunch: egg salad wrapped in lettuce or lettuce wrapped burger Snack: 1⁄2 avocado or 10 flaxseed crackers with salsa Dinner: cajun chicken with a side of vegetables cooked in bu...

The Ketogenic Diet Compared To The Paleo Diet

The Return To The Old Days A paleo diet is based on reviving the diets of our ancestors over the years, consuming new, organic, and non-contaminated foods. This popular diet, initiated by gastroenterologist Walter L. Voegtlin in 1970, includes meats, fruits, vegetables, nuts, roots and meats. Processed food, dairy products, grains, sugar and salt, legumes, processed oils, alcohol and coffee are not included. The key aim is to encourage a safe lifestyle. In addition to body composition, it improves the metabolic effects of the body. Some people feel better and start losing weight with this diet as it makes some people feel lighter and prefer to eat less. Paleo diet benefits:  -- Reducing allergy  -- Burns off stored fats due to increasing metabolism  -- Blood sugar stabilizes  -- Cleans skin and teeth impurities-  -- Improves the rhythm of sleep  -- Aid to improve nutrient absorption from food as it is natural The following are shared into daily calories:...

The Function Of Exercise In A Ketogenic Diet

Image
Without any doubt, exercise is critical, whether you are using a low carb, ketogenic lifestyle or not. However, exercise can act more effective when carrying out a ketogenic diet. Let’s face it- the main reason you're exercising is to look great, period. Sure, benefits are a nice secondary benefit, but if we're brutally honest, it’s because looks matter to nearly everybody.  Mere diet can never help you have the body you want, although the diet is important in supplying the building blocks, and setting the stage for your desired outcome. Interested to know in what ways exercise can help you while on the ketogenic diet?  Please read on and find out! Exercise Improves Insulin Sensitivity In a number of people, insulin sensitivity decreases with age, along with rate of physical activity. Sedentary persons are more likely to have higher levels of blood glucose, record a higher level of insulin secretion over the course of the day, retain excess body fats and may likely pave a way ...

Understanding Carbs And Low-carb Foods

Many experts attribute the large-scale epidemic or obesity in the United States, where 1/3 of all adults are largely obese, to a steady increase over an extended period of time in the intake of unhealthy carbohydrates, including but not limited to table sugar and all items made from it, refined starch, processed food and even too much fruit sugar. According to one study (Cohen E, et al., Statistical Review of U.S. Macronutrient Consumption Data, 1965–2011), overweight and obese Americans rose from 42.3% to 66.1% from 1971 to 2011 and during this time: The fat intake decreased from 44.7% to 33.6% · Carbohydrate consumption increased from 39% to 50% from 1965 to 2011 Researchers believe these statistics imply a link between high carb intake in our diets and societal-scale obesity. Before making judgments, it is important to understand the major differences between the two carbohydrates, and if one is particularly advantageous over the other. It's also important to consider your dieta...

Green Carbs Versus Starch and Sugar Carbs

Image
Whether you're on a low-carbon diet or just want to learn more about different types of carbohydrate, this article is for you. Not everyone is equal when it comes to sugars. In addition, some are produced more equally than others, in the sense that they are highly nutritious, with no high carbohydrate density of starchy or sugary fruits , vegetables and grains. When you follow a low carbohydrate lifestyle or try to adapt to a ketogenic lifestyle, proper vegetable selection is becoming more and more important. The ketogenic diet, along with a mild protein and a high intake of healthy fat, is very low in carbs, most of which are derived from non-starchy vegetables. This diet causes a metabolic process known as ketosis, where the body uses stored fat for fuel instead of dietary carbohydrates. Why the squabble, though? Isn't every vegetable perfect for you? Yes, but not all of them will help you achieve your goal of ketosis if you find that carb restriction is essential. What kind ...

What Is Keto Flu Exactly

Image
The "keto flu" is a name given to a series of carbohydrate withdrawal warning signs that may occur in individuals beginning a low-carb diet triggered by altered hormonal states and electrolyte imbalances that may occur with it. In other words, it defines a process in the body that is adjusted to a low-carb diet that has begun. Keto is an acronym for the ketogenic diet, a strict low carb diet. Since the ketogenic diet program is not the only low-carb program, the phrase should be "low carb flu." Physical symptoms No two people are alike, so the symptoms may range from nothing to mild to a flu-like full-blown infection, and may include: • Lightheadedness • Nausea • Fatigue • Mental fog • Cramps • Headaches • Diarrhea • Blood pressure problems and arrhythmias in certain severe cases How long will Keto Flu last? For each patient, the duration of keto flu varies. Although some people may have moderate, even unnoticeable symptoms for one day or two, other people may have ...

What Is Ketosis In The Body?

Image
The body receives its fuel from its dietary carbohydrates. Carbohydrates include foods such as rice , bread, pasta, fruit, sugar and vegetables, and other grains. If carbohydrates, starches or sugars enter the body they are turned into glucose and used for energy by the body. In order to remove glucose from the bloodstream, the hormone insulin uses glucose for energy or stores what is not needed. Glucose not used as food is transferred to the liver and muscles for food reserve use as glycogen. Any leftover muscle glycogen, such as with exercise or spending, transforms into accumulated body fat.  For people with carbohydrate sensitivity or insulin resistance, the possibility of obesity and Type 2 diabetes High carbohydrate diabetes = high blood glucose = high insulin = high body fat levels are depressing. Ketosis and Lipolysis  The body's own fat is a best alternative fuel source, which is activated when the intake of carbs is restricted and their sources controlled. The body i...
