Pain for beauty already becomes common Maxim for women. Willingly suffer for beauty phenomenon not only hold cramps and stiff when wearing high heels, but already widespread into various actions to get perfectly appearance according to prevailing social standards
However, since the Queen Cleopatra era to the current urban women, diet for slim body is an example of pain for beauty which crushed timeless time. As time goes on, Diet also evolved.
Eliminate yourself to eat only vegetables, fruits, and fresh fish a la Cleopatra, drinking herb teas regularly like the daughters of China, until the low-carb diet has become a favorite of urban women, both to lose weight or to maintain it.
What makes low-carb diets as the right solution to get a slim body? Take for example the Atkins diet, which is one variant of low-carbohydrate diets that are now popular among Hollywood artists.
Dr. Robert Atkins, the initiators, in his book says, the diet called Atkins nutritional approach is a revolution in losing weight without suffering yourself with starves.
“Dr. Atkins did research of various medical journals and found that low-carb diet is the perfect solution for those who want to lose weight without feeling tortured by hunger constant. The diet is not confabulation, even more as a guide to nutrition for the body more healthy, “said Director of Research and Development Collette Heimowitz Atkins Nutritional.
A Low-carbohydrate diet, like Atkins diet, is actually a combination of restriction of carbohydrate intake and increased protein and fat consumption, either vegetable or animal.
Something that makes low-carb diets became popular because of high success in dealing with excess weight. Besides this diet helps lower blood cholesterol levels, reduce the risk of diabetes, and prevent heart attacks.
So, how do low-carb diets work really? Heimowitz explained that the low-carb diet will stimulate the body’s metabolism to burn more fat reserves for the low carbohydrate intake.
“We consume mostly complex carbohydrates, like rice, bread, pasta, junk food, too in everyday,” said Heimowitz.
Basically carbohydrates contain glucose. It has a function as energy source that most easily describe in your body than protein or fat which the basic material of amino acids and fatty acids.
Carbohydrates explained into 4 hours, whereas protein and fat take 6 hours to digest the body. It also makes those who consume more carbohydrates hungry faster.
With low-carbohydrate diets, complex carbohydrate intake will be reduced so that the body will be provoked to produce energy through higher fat reserves.
“Proteins and fats require more time to digest completely, it will cause the hunger be captured,” he explained.
He also explained that consume large amounts of carbohydrates will only increase the weight because the rest of carbohydrate metabolism will be stored as fat.
Not only reduces weight significantly, compared to other diets, low-carb diet can also reduce the risk of diabetes. This diet is highly recommended for those who have diabetes and want to lose weight.
Sweden researchers, Jorge Vesti Nielsen was told, low-carb diet good for diabetics because of the low carbohydrate intake is reduced glucose production that would trigger an increase in insulin.
This was evidenced by Nielsen through a study involving 16 participants with excess weight diabetes; it can reduce their weight, while controlling blood glucose with a low-carb diet.
