Summary:
The low carbohydrate diet craze has become very popular. Low carbohydrate diets can be bad for health and for weight loss. This article shows the way to lose weight while still eating carbohydrates.

Details or Sample:
There is a plethora of information out there today telling people how to eat for health and weight loss. Much of this information contradicts each other. Our diets consist of micro and macronutrients. Protein, carbohydrates, and fat are the macronutrients that should be non-negotiable when eating a healthy diet. How much one eats of these, in what proportions, and what time of day all have a dramatic influence on hormones, metabolism, and overall health.

Low carbohydrate diets today are very much accepted and commonly practiced in an effort to lose weight. This concept seems to make sense: cut out your body’s primary source of energy and it is forced to burn fat for fuel. This concept is wrong! Not only will the body convert protein in the diet into glucose for energy rather than for what it really is meant for (repairing and building lean muscle tissue), but it will also feed off of muscle tissue for the amino acids it needs. This can result in lower lean mass, and completely offset the metabolism.

Cutting out carbohydrates does not solve a weight or diabetic problem, but by controlling what types of carbohydrates one consumes does. When a person’s diet is rich in complex carbohydrates their risk of diabetes is nearly eliminated, their weight is managed, and their energy levels are consistent throughout the day. Sugar is the enemy. By reading nutrition labels one can see the amount of added sugar in a food. Stay away from added sugar! Oatmeal, whole wheat, whole grains, seeds, nuts, fruits, and vegetables are all great sources of carbohydrates. Donuts, soda, juice, and white bread are bad sources of carbohydrates. Nutrition is not rocket science, but a science that everyone can learn to be on top of!
