Adhering to these traditional concepts the US Department
of Agriculture has concluded that diets, which reduce calories, will result in effective weight loss independent
of the macronutrient composition, which is considered less important, even irrelevant.14 In contrast with these views, the majority
of ad - libitum studies demonstrate that subjects who follow a low - carbohydrate diet lose more weight during the first 3 — 6 months compared with those who follow balanced diets.15, 16, 17 One hypothesis is that the use
of energy from proteins in VLCKD is an «expensive» process for the body and so can lead to a «waste
of calories», and therefore increased weight loss compared with other «less - expensive» diets.13, 18, 19 The average
human body requires 60 — 65 g
of glucose per day, and during the first phase
of a diet very low in carbohydrates this is partially (16 %) obtained from glycerol, with the major part derived via gluconeogenesis from proteins
of either dietary or
tissue origin.12 The energy cost
of gluconeogenesis has been confirmed in several studies7 and it has been calculated at ∼ 400 — 600 Kcal / day (due to both endogenous and food
source proteins.18 Despite this, there is no direct experimental evidence to support this intriguing hypothesis; on the contrary, a recent study reported that there were no changes in resting energy expenditure after a VLCKD.20 A simpler, perhaps more likely, explanation for improved weight loss is a possible appetite - suppressant action
of ketosis.
In its most basic state, carbohydrates are organic compounds which are found in
tissues and food, that can be broken down to be one
of the 3 major
sources of energy for animals and
humans.
The best
source for
humans is from the meat
of other animals, though it can be difficult to get enough tryptophan into the brain, as it is the least abundant amino acid in muscle

Proposed causes for
human IBD include defective immunoregulation
of the gut - associated lymphoid
tissue that may be precipitated by permeability defects, 14 infectious and parasitic agents, 15,16 and dietary allergies.13, 17 There is provocative evidence from clinical observations and animal models to incriminate normal luminal bacteria or bacterial products in the initiation and perpetuation
of canine IBD.18, 19 The clinical response to hypoallergenic or elimination diets suggest that dietary factors may influence the pathogenesis
of canine IBD.8 - 11 The term «hypoallergenic» refers to a diet that is generally free
of additives and preservatives, and contains a hydrolyzed protein
source.
