Low-carb diets may be beneficial for Weight gain, Heart disease and Diabetes, according to new clinical studies.
Low-carbohydrate diets continue to represent a revolution in clinical nutrition practice. According to Richard D. Feynman, Ph.D., Professor of Biochemistry in Downstate Medical Center in Brooklyn, many scientists are now suggesting low-carb solutions for many disease states.
He also says, "And practically speaking, some of the clinical results, especially in diabetes, are quite remarkable."
"I have seen many patients who were headed for disaster and who changed their disease and their lives simply by avoiding a food they cannot tolerate: carbohydrates."
This simple and effective approach could reverse the epidemic of type 2 diabetes, says Mary Vernon, MD, FA AFP, CMD and president of the American Society of Bariatric Physicians, who has long been known for her controlled carbohydrates in her patients.
With the low-carb approach, we've seen many patients reduce or completely eliminate drug therapy. It is of course up to the patient whether he wants to continue the treatment, but he should at least have the option of choosing a non-pharmacological approach.
Low-carbohydrates diets seem to have always had a metabolic basis, and while news attention has focused mostly on the business side of the topic, the science continues to move dramatically forward with it.
Some of the important facts about low-carb diets are:
* A limited carbohydrate lifestyle is an effective way to control the blood sugar level of type 2 diabetes. Patients are permanently able to reduce or eliminate the disease.
*A third of overweight Americans trying to lose weight do so by eating fewer carbs.
* Newer evidence weighing on the benefits of a low-carbohydrate lifestyle for cardiac risk factors such as low HDL and small LDL standard lipoproteins.
*A low-carb lifestyle may be the best treatment for metabolic syndrome, a precursor to diabetes and heart disease.
*Over 60 percent of Americans are overweight; 38 percent actually do something about it.
Low-Carb Guide Meal Plan:
A very low-carb diet includes just 30 gram or less per day. Low-carb diets contain 130 g or less of carbohydrates, while moderate-carb diets contain 130 to 225 g of carbohydrates.
To get an idea of how significant a change in diet will be, people can try counting their daily carb intake for a few days and then set a new goal.
Another strategy—which may be more sustainable—is to slowly and steadily reduce your carb intake and watch your blood glucose levels change.
For example, one can replace their morning toast with a hard-boiled egg and then slowly replace other carbohydrates with other nutrient-dense alternatives.
Most of the calories in a low-carb diet should come from healthy, natural sources, including:
*Vegetables
*Lean proteins such as eggs, fish, nuts and tofu
*Good fats such as olives or avocados
*Fruit in moderation
As part of a healthful, low-carb diet, people should avoid or limit intake of the following:
*Processed foods, such as prepackaged meals and salty snacks
*Sugar-rich foods, such as cakes, candies, pastries, cookies, sodas, and juices
*Starches, especially white bread or bagels
*Alcoholic beverages
*Potatoes, including potato chips
*Other starchy vegetables
*White pasta
Whole grain bread, lentils and beans are also high in carbohydrates but can be an important part of a healthy diet. Eat these foods in moderation or as a substitute for unhealthy carbs like cakes and pies.
