LOW CARBOHYDRATE DIET

– pluses and… minuses –

It is also known as the “low-carb diet,” being a dietary approach that involves reducing the intake of carbohydrates, i.e. sugars and starches. Instead, increase the consumption of proteins (more or less healthy) and healthy fats.

Two versions of the regime

In the classic version, you will eat foods such as meat and fish, in abundance, along with some leafy vegetables, nuts and seeds. But, you must know that after the cases of immune deficiencies and proliferative diseases increased, a more…intelligent variant was born. This adapted diet involves eating mostly eggs, legumes (soy, chickpeas, peas) and ocean fish, with more green leafy vegetables and unroasted seeds. But in both versions, bread, pasta, rice and sugars are almost completely avoided.

What do you learn in this article about the low carb diet?

In the following, you will find out the advantages and disadvantages of this weight loss diet. Moreover, you will have a clear and easy to adapt example for daily low carb diet menus, as well as some recommendations for herbal formulas to catalyze weight loss.

Pros of the low-carb diet include:

• Weight loss: Cutting carbs often leads to decreased appetite and fat burning, helping to shed extra pounds.
• Abdominal fat reduction: it is also supported by sports exercises, having advantages not only for aesthetics, but also for health: it prevents diabetes, hypertension, heart attack.
• Blood sugar control: This diet can be beneficial for people with type 2 diabetes because it can help keep blood sugar levels under control.

Cons of the low carb diet include:

• Fiber deficiency: Cutting carbs leads to low fiber intake, which affects digestion and gut health. In the first, you get constipated pretty badly, which leads to general intoxication and sickness. But you compensate for this shortcoming with 2 exceptional formulas: KG-SLIM and PLURI DETOX .
• Potential nutritional deficiencies: Excluding certain foods, such as fresh fruit, can lead to a lack of essential nutrients. Formulas, such as Multiminerals and Multivitamins, can compensate for this deficit, but only partially.
• Difficult to maintain: It is a restrictive diet and can be difficult to maintain long term.
