Weight-loss diet: less carbs to lose weight
To slim down the rule must be less carbohydrates because this will greatly cut the fat while providing the same number of calories. The diet, with this logic, should last about three months. This, at least according to research presented at the last congress of the American Endocrine Society. Let’s see what were the terms of the study knowing that 45 women, aged between 18 and 65, were subjected to two different diets: one where 60 percent of calories coming from carbohydrates, 20 percent from fat and the rest from proteins.
But the other in which carbohydrates were reduced to 45 percent and fat, mostly unsaturated from plant sources such as walnuts and hazelnuts, as much as 35 percent. After three months, the ladies had lost 9 pounds less carbiudrati, one more than the others.
“The problem is that back then the lost pounds, at most within two years is because a diet low in carbohydrates is perceived as “unnatural” , is too far away from our food standards. So it is more likely to abandon it, “says Gabriele Riccardi, president of the Italian Society of Diabetology.
Losing weight in this way is quite easy, in a short time, but for long-term results should not be so drastic, better to replace refined carbohydrates with whole ones, increasing the consumption of fruits and vegetables.
