Low Carbohydrate Diets
2008-05-10 01:15:00 Copyright 2006 Donovan BaldwinAny diet program is going to have its fans and its detractors. Also, many diet plans may have good points and bad points, and the low carbohydrate diet is no exception.WHAT IS A LOW CARBOHYDRATE DIET?First of all, you are going to hear a lot of things called "low carbohydrate", the most famous of which is the Atkins diet. Other programs which do not claim to be low carb, such as the Nutrisystem weight loss program, and the South Beach diet may find themselves dumped into the "low carb" category because their eating plans either control carb intake or concentrate on "good" carbs...that is, carbohydrates that in essence not only fuel the body, thus providing energy, but which also are less likely to wind up as fat deposits in the body.As a rule, and as their name implies, low carbohydrate diets generally recommend a higher consumption of protein and fat, with decreases in consumption of carbohydrates. Again, as a rule, these eating plans are going to reco...

Weight Loss and Carbohydrate Addicts Diet
2007-09-25 08:48:00 Many people have trouble understanding how their comfort foods - the breads, pastas, cookies and cakes, are contributing to their weight problem. It makes sense to people to decrease the fat in their diet in order to lose fat (which, surprisingly, does not usually help), but the connection with grains and sugars is not as easy to understand. Grains like breads, cereals, potatoes and pasta convert easily to fat, especially when you eat too much. Also, you're more likely to eat too much starch because it tastes good, is not very filling, it doesn't trigger your satiety hormones (the hormones that tell you when you're full) and has a pleasant texture in the mouth. Carbohydrates tend to be foods that "trigger" overeating for many individuals because they taste good and are comforting and they increase neurotransmitters in the brain that make you feel happy. On the other hand, most people eat grains in the form of white flour, white rice, and pasta. These high-carb foods are processed...
Carbohydrates !!!!
2007-09-12 01:26:00 This Post For Tags : Health, Healthy live, Healthy Tips, Live Tips, Healthy Live TipsIn my experience, many people find a food program consisting of 55 percent carbohydrates an intimidating amount. This is because many of the popular diet books out there have caused people to shift their dietary fears from fats to carbohydrates. The key is not to be afraid to eat carbohydrates, but to learn how to manage your intake of carbs relative to your activity level. We all know of people who have lost a great deal of scale weight on low-carbohydrate diets, but it?s a sure thing that they felt irritable, headachy, and fatigued while on that diet. To maintain the brain and central nervous system, the body needs a certain amount of glucose, which it gets from sugars and starches, the byproducts of carbohydrates after digestion. The body stores this glucose in the liver and in the muscles. When you do not ingest a sufficient amount of carbohydrates in your daily diet, the body has to get its sup...

Recent studies show that, under conditions of carbohydrate restriction, fuel sources shift from glucose and fatty acids to fatty acids and ketones, and that ad libitum?fed carbohydrate-restricted diets lead to appetite reduction, weight loss, and improvement in surrogate markers of cardiovascular disease.

Best Diet Ever: Minimize processed carbohydrates
2007-08-07 14:37:00 Oh no, I can see the forces of carb-loving and carb-hating evil gathering in the distance. Do carbs make you fat or are they the body's most important energy source? Well, which is it!? I've always been a proponent of the theory that a calorie is a calorie and that all weight loss is dependent on calories in vs. calories out. That opinion is based on my personal experience of losing 60 pounds and maintaining that loss by doing lots of exercise and maintaining a calorie deficit with no regard to changing the foods that I eat, only eating less of them.Having said that, studies done by Harvard Medical School, and more recently The University of Pennsylvania, have found that a certain percentage of people respond better to a low carb approach to eating. The high responders to the low carb diets are people who have metabolic syndrome, Type II diabetes, and hyperinsulinemia. I'll have a post with more information on this topic in the near future. What I can say is that from a nutri...

Carbohydrates can also raise cholesterol levels
2007-04-04 14:24:00 A low cholesterol diet is not hard to follow, given the variety of foods available. Many food manufacturers also have low fat, low cholesterol foods available for people who do not have the time to fix elaborate meals. When you are shopping for such foods, be sure to look at the labels and keep the following in mind:•Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables--they are low in calories and fat.•Try to lower your intake of saturated fats, since consuming foods with these fats could raise your cholesterol levels and place you at a higher risk of acquiring heart disease.•Partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, such as those used in many margarines and shortenings, contain a particular form of unsaturated fat known as trans-fatty. They raise blood cholesterol levels (including LDL, the bad cholesterol), just like saturated fat.•Use whole grain foods instead of foods containing white flour. Recent studies have indicated that ingesting high amounts of carbohydrates can also raise cholester...

Low Carbohydrate Diet
2006-12-28 07:51:01 Almost every single person will initially lose a few pounds when they begin a low carb diet. Unfortunately that weight won?t be permanent unless you restrict your carbs like crazy for the rest of your life. Depending on who you ask, there are many pros and cons involved with a low carb diet. The most common con about this sort of diet is that the weight loss is only temporary, the second you begin to eat normally again, your weight will quickly rise. Sometimes to even a higher weight than before you began your diet. Some low carb diets require you to restrict essential healthy carbs including healthy ones like whole wheat grains and certain fruits. Most people lose weight quickly when they begin a low carb diet, a pro that everyone can be happy about. Low carb diets don?t limit the types of protein you are allowed to eat. Many low carb diets allow you to eat as much high saturated fat foods such as bacon. This may be a way to lose weight but it defiantly is not healthy. If you want ...

Carbohydrates for Weight loss
2006-09-11 11:37:00 Our source of carbohydrates is plants. Plants compose carbohydrates in two forms:A- Storage carbohydrates which are :1- Easily digested to release glucose quickly.2- Of compact size for space economy of the plant.3- Of spacial configuration that is compatible with Amylases ( their digestive enzymes).Starch represents this group of storage carbohydrates.B- Structural carbohydrates which are :1- Of large intra-molecular spaces to hold water inside the plant.2- Not liable to digestion by carbohydrate digesting enzymes to guard against decay of living plants.3- Of rigid nature for stature of plants ( they have no bones).Cellulose & Hemicellulose represent structural carbohydrate group.When humans eat digestible carbohydrates (starchy food), their digestion starts as soon as they are admixed with saliva where its amylase splits starch into linear fragments that is ended with formation of soluble glucose which is absorbed through the intestine.When they eat indigestible carbohydrates ...
