Written by Beverley Brooke


Continued from page 1

1. Raised insulin levels and insulin resistance

2. Lower metabolism leading to weight gain

3. An increase in fatty tissue and reduction in muscle tissue

4. Accelerated aging

5. Increased food allergies and intolerances

6. Overworked immune system

7. Increased risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes and cancer

Carbohydrates, especially simple carbs like sugar and starch, are quickly turned into sucrose byrepparttar body enteringrepparttar 114117 blood stream quicker thereby causingrepparttar 114118 release of large amounts of insulin. The fewer carbs are eaten,repparttar 114119 less insulin is produced byrepparttar 114120 body, andrepparttar 114121 fewer calories are stored as fat. Less fat storage equals less weight gain and fewer carbs eaten equals less insulin inrepparttar 114122 blood andrepparttar 114123 body using its fat stores for fuel.

The premise behind every low-carb diet plan is that a body that produces less insulin burns more fat than a body that produces lots of insulin. Some plans encourage a period of extremely low carbohydrate intake so thatrepparttar 114124 body will enter a state of ketosis and more quickly burn fat stores - These are usually called induction periods.
