Publisher's Synopsis
INTRODUCTION
The low carb diet proposes a reduction in carbohydrate consumption. In a traditional diet, carbohydrate should account for 50 to 55 percent of total calories consumed.
The macronutrient can make up 45 percent to 5% of what is consumed in a day when using low carb methods. It's important to note that while a drastic reduction in carbohydrates, say below 40%, can result in weight loss, it's not healthy and can have a number of negative health consequences. Rice, pasta, bread, and potatoes are examples of carbohydrates.
Furthermore, this method promotes the consumption of low glycemic index carbohydrates, which are carbohydrates whose glucose (sugar) is absorbed at a slower rate, resulting in no peaks of glucose or insulin in the body.
Sweet potatoes and brown rice are examples of low GI foods. This weight-loss method also encourages the consumption of whole foods that are high in fiber. We spoke with experts to learn more about the benefits and drawbacks of this regime.
