Low Carbohydrate Diet Safe Tips for Quick Slim
Compared to other diet programs that are very hostile to fat, low-carbohydrate diets seem more ‘loose’ in managing the diet. The perpetrators were still allowed to consume meat, cheese, butter or other fat sources. However, dieters should remove materials that fall into the category of carbohydrate foods such as rice, corn, potatoes, tubers and the like, from the daily menu. Weight loss can indeed go down in a matter of weeks. Even so there is a stack of risks that need to be anticipated. Weight loss quickly and instant is due to the following matters:
1. The high protein intake will increase the frequency of urine, to remove the excess ketones (results from the breakdown of fats and proteins) that cause considerable loss of body water. As a result, weight loss in a short time. The lack of carbohydrate intake also allows the body to process glycogen into energy sources. In other words, the body uses fat as energy source
2. Restriction of carbohydrate intake causes the amount of calories coming from protein and fat only. The loss of one class only source of nutrients (in this case carbohydrates), may reduce the calories into the body. Consequently, the calories in only about 2000 calories per day (adults need 2250-3000 calories per day)
Reduced weight quickly and instantly, as well as unequal intake of nutrients that come in, can not be denied, may pose some risks that cannot be ignored. According to Drs. Kevin C. Maki of Radian Researh, Chicago, USA, the risk of this diet are:
1. Vulnerable Dehydration. The lack of carbohydrate intake causes the body to use other energy sources ie protein and fat reserves. The breakdown of fat and protein that produces ketones in the blood that had gathered so that the blood becomes acidic called ketonacidosis (excess ketones in the blood). This excess will be expelled through urine. In effect, the body becomes very weak, dehydrated (lack of fluids in the body), as well as damage to the liver and kidneys are forced to work hard, can even cause death from cardiac rhythm disturbances are irregular. This condition will decrease the body’s stamina and physical activity disrupted. One more thing is the smell of the impact of ketoacidosis is not good.
2. High Blood Pressure. The habit of eating meat that is rich in saturated fats in the long term will have an impact on the health of arteries. This will provoke the onset of high blood pressure, aging of the arteries, heart attacks, strokes and high cholesterol.
3. Weight Up Down. For the short term, the risk of diet model is usually not visible. But if done in the long term, this diet can alter the overall diet. And, metabolism of your body will adapt with minimal carbohydrate intake. If you decide to quit the diet of this model and returned to the diet before the diet, then you would be hard to control weight. Your weight will go up and down like a yo-yo (yo yo syndrome)
4. Constipation and Colon Cancer. This diet is low intake of fiber and unsaturated fats, so it tends to cause constipation (obstruction) which will further heighten the risk of colon cancer. Otherwise it tends to cause a shortage of nutrient intake because food intake is not as diverse as the intake of fruits, vegetables, fish, beans and calcium.
Seeing the effects generated from low-carbo diet, then to reduce the risk of negative impacts generated, the necessary modifications to the diet, namely by doing the following:
1. Eat fish, soya beans and their processed products, nuts, and olive oil as a source of protein and monounsaturated fat and doubles.
2. Avoid saturated fats. Replace the intake of meat, cream and butter with nuts, fish and olive oil.
3. Increase your intake of fruits as a source of carbohydrates such as apples, bananas, mangoes, oranges and guava in your daily menu.
4. If you need help adding the intake of certain nutrients such as fiber, minerals and other vitamins.
