The endless debate on whether a low fat diet compared to a low carb diet is better for weight loss have continued to dominate health discussions. With several diet types to choose from, many people are not certain on which diet is appropriate for weight loss. The challenge is whether to go for a low carb diet or a low-fat diet, highlighting some of the negative effects of low carb diet like weight gain. Research studies have evaluated the effectiveness of both fat and carb diets for weight loss focusing on Ketone diet.
A Ketone diet is known for its low carbohydrate concentration; therefore a Ketone diet is effective in controlling weight since the body produces ketones in the liver that the body can use as energy. The possible advantages of weight loss and managing certain diseases that emphasize on fat and low intake of carbohydrates are not well established despite the fact that weight loss and metabolic improvement can be achieved with a wide variety of carbohydrate intake. This research aims at discussing some of the effects of low carb diets including both the negative and the positive effects, the type of food to take or avoid, which can result in weight loss.
In recent years, research on weight loss has prominently shifted from fat to carbohydrates, several studies revealing how low carb diet is one of the best strategies to reduce body weight and stay healthy. Carbohydrates are the body's main sources of energy; hence carbohydrates fuel the vital body organs like the central nervous system the brain and kidneys. Carbohydrate is usually broken down into energy form known as glucose, which plays an important role in ensuring that the body works optimally. The body uses insulin to transport glucose within the body cells. However, when there are too many carbohydrates consumed in the body the blood sugar levels increase the insulin, resulting in gaining the weight.
Low carbohydrate diets involve receiving a specific amount of carbohydrate not exceeding 70 grams in one day. However, other levels of dietary carbohydrates can still be determined by the amount of energy intake. When the energy level of the diet is reduced, the quantity of energy generated from carbohydrates will also increase. This explains the shift in managing weight that focus on carbohydrate-restricted diets. Although the past arguments have cited health risks, including weight gain and other side effects, new approach to dieting has established that calories theory whereby weight loss can be possible by consuming fewer calories than we burn up.
Based on this view, dietary approaches to weight loss have attempted to review the alteration of macronutrient composition like reduction of carbohydrate intake. This process involves a diet-induced procedure where the excretion of fat is facilitated by molecules known as ketone. Therefore, restricting carbohydrate diet that causes metabolic adaptation will ensure that body can synthesize Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) through a normal process of substrate other than glucose and glycogen. Hence, fatty acids and ketones become the major source of energy. According to the ketogenic theory, low carbohydrate diets facilitate the process of burning body fat enab...
