Not exact matches

Low fat diets, low carb diets, ketogenic diets, Paleo diets, South Beach diets, raw food diets - you name your dietary preference, there's a school of thought out there that purports it to be the best way to stay lean, keep your energy levels high, maximize performance, etc..

A dietary intake of about 50 grams or less per day of net carbs while also keeping protein low - to - moderate is usually low enough to allow you to make the shift to nutritional ketosis (the metabolic state associated with an increased production of ketones in your liver; i.e., the biological reflection of being able to burn fat).

But we should keep this thought in the backs of our minds: Not every response to dietary carbs works against weight loss.

When you eat foods low in carbs (keeping your insulin and blood sugar low), moderate in protein (macronutrient most affecting satiety) and high in fat (where dietary fat is used as «filler» and not over-consumed), you will feel less hungry and eat less.

In order to induce and maintain it, one must consume no more than 50g net carbs per day (which is total carb count minus dietary fiber) and protein intake must also be kept in check as 54 % of protein is anti-ketogenic, which means it will be converted into glucose before it enters the bloodstream.

So here's the lesson, the moral of this story: before we assume that low - carbohydrate diets are just one tool in the dietary arsenal against overweight and obesity, and before we assume that everyone is different and that some of us lose weight and keep it off because we eat less fat (and more carbohydrates) and some because we cut carbs (and so eat maybe more fat), we should make an effort to understand the concept of controlling variables and look to see which variables are really changing and by how much.
