Frequently asked question #3

Frequently asked question #3

3. How does carbohydrate restriction work?? Carbohydrate restriction reduces fat accumulation and increase fat burning by changing the hormonal milieu of the fat tissue. Restricting carbohydrates results in @ 2 pounds of weight loss per week. You are eating less with carbohydrate restriction because you are mobilizing fat and utilizing it as fuel NOT mobilizing your fat and using it for fuel because you are eating less. Think about this!!!

1. Carb cravings are made worse by workouts. During your first 4 weeks our our diets exercise should be limited so you can concentrate on the discipline of eating regularly and at breakfast. Then you can start exercising on week 5. Starting exercising and dieting simultaneously is a good way to ensure failure.

2. The tragedy of life doesn't lie in not reaching your goal, the tragedy lies in having no goals to reach!!

Is there any role for counting calories in weight regulation?

Counting calories

Calories are merely a measure of the energy content of the food we eat. They can be valuable for calculating the energy content of a meal or the nutrients in it - carbohydrates, fat and protein. But when it comes to regulating our weight, what we need to care about is the effect those nutrients have on the hormonal regulation of the fat tissue. This is simply a different issue. We are concerned in particular with the effect of the carbohydrates we consume on insulin secretion. And so the calories of carbohydrates consumed and the form in which those carbohydrates come are meaningful. Restrict carbohydrates and fat is mobilized from the fat tissue and burned for fuel: appetite is reduced, as a result, and more energy is expended.
