Low-carbohydrate diet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Low-carbohydrate diets or low carb diets, are food diet programs for dietary health as well as weight loss that advocate restricted carbohydrate consumption, based on research that ties carbohydrate consumption with increased blood insulin levels, and increased insulin with obesity. Food producers have ascribed a commercial impact to the growing popularity of low-carbohydrate diets in recent years. Some advocates of low carb diets argue that the Paleolithic diet did not include grains, starches, and refined sugar, and that the human body has not evolved significantly since the time of the Neolithic Revolution, implying that their consumption should still be avoided today and causes undesired and largely unknown effects. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Low-carbohydrate_diet   (1252 words)

Low Carbohydrate Diet Low carb diets are based on the premise that a diet very low in carbohydrate leads to a reduction in the body's insulin production, resulting in fat and protein (muscle) stores being used as its main energy source. The aim of low carbohydrate diets is to force the body to use fat as its main energy source. Carbohydrates which were the main nutrient in the diets comprising abut 60-70% of the total calories ingested have been reduced to either negligible or none at all. www.medindia.net /patients/patientInfo/lowcarbohydratediet.htm   (886 words)

Healthy Low Carbohydrate Diet Plan for Losing Weight A low carbohydrate diet has been proven to induce fat loss and help to protect the body against many diseases for which obesity is a risk factor, for example, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, stroke, and cardiovascular disease. It is our belief that once overweight individuals are presented with substantial evidence of the effects of carbohydrates on body weight, they will be motivated to take control of their own body's weight by opting for a healthy low carbohydrate diet and even go a step further by combining the diet with exercise. Foods that are low in carbohydrates also tend to be low in calories and low in fat. www.low-carb-diet-plan.com   (1105 words)

Archive: Personal Health: The Risks of the High Fat Diet A friend who had been on one of the low-carbohydrate diets for three months lapsed one day and ate a baked potato, which, she said, caused her to gain three pounds overnight. And with the rapidly emerging evidence that a diet rich in plant foods -- grains, beans, fruits and vegetables -- is one of the best preventives of heart disease and cancer, a weight-loss scheme that greatly limits such foods is not exactly conducive to a long and healthy life. If anything, carbohydrates are preferable to fats as a calorie source for someone trying to lose weight because the body expends slightly more energy to metabolize them and because you can eat a larger volume of carbohydrates than you can of fats before exceeding your caloric needs. www.nytimes.com /specials/women/warchive/961225_1124.html   (934 words)

A Low Carbohydrate Diet - a Modified Atkins Diet The main premise of the Atkins diet is that high carbohydrates lead to weight gain, that low carbohydrate intake leads to weight loss, and for maximum weight loss - for a time - try to stay less than 20 grams of carbohydrates a day. The next is perhaps the single biggest difference between a "low carbohydrate diet" and some people's opinion of the Atkin diet (and yes, their opinion of Atkins may be wrong). The "low carbohydrate diet" portion of Atkins seems to be the best part of the Atkins diet plan, and the portion that gets the least negative comments. www.rpsoft2000.com /lowcarbohydratediet.htm   (2068 words)

The High Fat, Low Carbohydrate Diet vs. Bicycling for Good Health However, the extremely low carbohydrate diet results in a body depleted of glucose, and thus a cyclist on the Atkins diet will be in a perpetual state of bonk. The high-fat, low carbohydrate diets of Dr. Robert Atkins and Dr. Walter Willett, although very different from each other, are both claimed to control weight and reduce heart disease. On his induction diet, carbohydrates are limited to 20 grams (a meat and salad diet), which means that the body quickly runs out of glucose and is forced to burn ketones instead. www.kenkifer.com /bikepages/health/highfat.htm   (5225 words)

A Low Carbohydrate Diet May Cause Low Mood Dieters who have eliminated or reduced dietary carbohydrates may find that their low mood is combined with irritability if the diet is heavy on protein, and/or combined with a lack of energy if the diet is heavy on saturated fats. The low-carb approach to dieting has evolved from a runner-up to the "low fat" crusade of the last two decades to become a mainstream marvel that may be nearing maturity. The concept of lowering carbohydrate intake is said to have first been documented in a book published 142 years ago by a London undertaker who was thrilled at losing 100 pounds after his physician insisted that he quit consuming most starches and sugars. www.geneva-health.com /sciencehealth/lowcarb.html   (1630 words)

Low-carbohydrate Diet Helps Diabetics The benefit of insulin treatment in type 2 diabetes is controversial and the data "suggest that dietary therapy may sustain remission for an interim and allow the reintroduction of oral hypoglycemic therapy in the event that low-carbohydrate diet therapy alone is not successful," the authors note. After 8 weeks on a diet with 25% of calories from carbohydrates, type 2 diabetics had a significant improvement in blood sugar levels compared to those seen with a diet with 55% of calories from carbohydrates, the authors report in the December issue of the Journal of the American College of Nutrition. Of the 28 patients in the study, 9 were treated with a standard diet containing 55% carbohydrates, and 19 with sulfonylurea agents, but none of the subjects were able to achieve target glucose levels with those therapies, according to Dr. Lois Jovanovic and colleagues at Sansum Medical Research Foundation in Santa Barbara, California. www.personalmd.com /news/a1999010401.shtml   (300 words)

Diagnose-Me: Condition: Effects of a Low Carbohydrate Diet Harvard studied 75,000 women for a decade and the results suggest that the more whole grains people eat - like brown rice and whole wheat bread - the lower their risk of having a heart attack. No matter what Atkins or other diet books tell you, the balance of evidence clearly shows that saturated animal fat is bad for you and is associated with increased risk of cancer [Journal of the National Cancer Institute 95 (2003): p.1079], diabetes, and heart disease. Complex carbohydrates are composed of large numbers of sugar molecules joined together, and are found in grains, legumes, and vegetables like potatoes, squash, and corn. www.diagnose-me.com /cond/C656860.html   (3308 words)

low carb diet low carbohydrate diet The low carbohydrate diet plan will cause a reduction in body weight within the first 1-2 weeks, but the majority of weight lost is water / muscle, and NOT FAT. It is not possible to follow a no-carbohydrate diet long term (it is unhealthy to do so), and inevitably you will find yourself introducing them into your regular eating plan after several weeks. In addition, weight loss on a low carbohydrate plan produces a smaller version of your former self rather than enhancing your physical appearance (due to muscle loss, which eliminates tone, and creates a sagging, unappealing body structure). www.fatvanish.com /lowcarb.html   (438 words)

Amazon.com: Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution: Books: Robert C. Atkins Dr. Atkins's diet is extremely low in carbohydrates, which helps to regulate insulin production and decrease circulating insulin; less insulin soon results in less fat storage and fewer food cravings. Previously, I had been on a "balanced diet" and had tried and the "diet and exercise" system with little or no results.Around my 30's, I started a higher fiber/complex carb program with pasta, grains, fruits, legumes and interstingly, that is when I started to gain weight. Atkins says he now is more interested in "complete wellness" than in dropping pounds quickly; he stresses that the "induction" is not to be considered a lifetime regimen unless, of course, the dieter has particularly stubborn "metabolic resistance." Readers of his last book may notice some defensiveness--two decades of criticism clearly have taken their toll. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/006001203X?v=glance   (2870 words)

McDougall Wellness Center In addition, if the diet is low enough in carbohydrate, like the Atkins diet, then the body goes into ketosis, causing suppression of the appetite, thereby you eat and suffer less. The foods recommended for a high protein diet are mainly meat, egg, and dairy products, which are high in cholesterol, fat, and animal protein; and deficient in dietary fiber, carbohydrate; and are often highly contaminated with chemicals and microbes; and have serious vitamin and mineral imbalances. These high-protein diets are often sold to the public with the claim that there is something unique, even mystical, about the effects of protein on the body that makes all well established dietary advice obsolete. www.drmcdougall.com /debate.html   (151 words)
