True or False. Low-Carb Diets are Good?
by Buddy Shearer
For overweight people, the low-calorie and low-fat diets recommended by the government do not perform very well in many cases. In fact, for diabetics, these diets might intensify the condition. The only diet that strikes at the real cause of obesity, high cholesterol, blood pressure, high hypoglycemia, and type II diabetes is a low-carbohydrate diet. In fact, a lot general practitioners and nutritionists are now starting to discover this.
It is a known fact that type II diabetes can often be controlled with diet and exercise. Irregardless, a high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet, along with correct nutritional supplements, are almost invariably assisting in normalizing blood sugar, promoting weight loss and lowering other cardiovascular risks associated with being overweight and having type II diabetes.
In fact, meals containing less than 10 grams of carbohydrates can increase blood sugar levels a great deal less than the standard ADA dietary recommendations, often times 100 to 200 points less. These diets provide dramatic improvements in glucose and glycohemoglobin levels. The goal for any Type II diabetic should be to lower the glucose and the insulin levels; only a low-carb diet has accomplished both these goals. In any case, do seek the advice of your doctor before switching to a Low-carbohydrate diet.
A current study suggested intriguing evidence that men and women on a low-carb diet can actually eat more than individuals on a standard low fat/reduced calorie diet and still lose weight.
There is proof. Over the past year, there have been several small studies that have proven (to many experts surprise) that a low-carbohydrate diet approach actually does achieve the results delicious, at least in the short run.
So what will it hurt to try? Go see your medical practitioner. Work out a plan. And stay with it.
