Why You Lose Weight With A Low-Carb Diet

  • Why Low-Carb works
  • Everyone tells you sugar is bad for you. What no one explains to you, is why sugar causes you to become fat. They also don’t tell you that all carbohydrates are metabolized as glucose in your body. Basic sugar is 50% glucose, and 50% fructose (the stuff found in fruit). That means eating rice, high fructose corn syrup, or bread ends up creating the exact same unhealthy in excess glucose in your body that sugar creates.

  • Why does sugar or carbs make you fat?
  • First off, all the fat cells in your body are created by fatty tissues wrapping around stored glucose. The sugars you eat are a basic building block for the fat on your body. More importantly, sugars cause your body to create insulin. One of the main jobs of insulin in your body is to store extra fat in preparation for future times when it?s needed (which makes sense in the past when winters could end up with months of near starvation). Unfortunately, this means the more carbs you eat, the more insulin your body produces, and the more fat you become. More on why the consequences of excess insulin creates a spiral towards gaining weight next month.
    The basics are easy – cut most of the carbohydrates from your diet and you’ll start losing weight.
