Lose Belly Fat Diet - Low Carb Or Low Fat
The general public wrongly believe a low fat diet is the way to lose belly fat. Many research has demonstrated that a locarb diet is indeed better for belly fat loss.
From the early 70s, US citizens reduced their fat intake from 40 percent to 34%. Yet, the obesity epidemic has been rising steeply since it commenced in the early 1980's. Why?
Excessive consumption of carbohydrates. Our primal ancestors lived on a hunters-gatherers diet of essentially meat, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds. Grain wasn't even part of human diet until rural started about 10,000 years back. The rise in human population and dip in hunted large game made it mandatory for humans to take on agriculture.
The development of human diet from mainly animal sources to grain products ( refined carbs ) has led on to a fall in the quantity and quality of human life. Illnesses and conditions such as diabetes, obesity and heart disease which were once non-existent, are now commonplace.
Take a look at your existing diet. Are you consuming heaps of refined carbs such as bread, pastas, cereals, cakes, biscuits and sugar? Excess consumption of refined carbs forestalls stored body fat from being used as energy. The body becomes changed to burning sugar as fuel and forgets the best way to burn fat.
Everyone wants some carbohydrates. In the body, carbohydrates are converted into glucose as a main source of energy for the brain. Unused glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles. Only the glycogen in the liver can be converted back to glucose to be used by the brain when obligatory.
The body has limited capacity for storing carbohydrates. Though the muscles can store more glycogen than the liver, its reserves can't be broken down when energy is necessary by the brain. Once the glycogen reserves are full, excess carbohydrates are converted into fat.
Eating a high carb meal can cause a spike in glucose levels. This prompts the pancreas to release insulin into the bloodstream to lower the glucose levels. The bad news is insulin is a fat storage hormone. It tells the body to store excess carbohydrates as fat. Fluctuation in blood sugar levels causes longings for more carbs and thus, more fat storage replying to insulin. - 17273
