When we usually talk about diet control, we mainly talk about controlling the intake of high-calorie foods, not dieting. Most of the things we usually eat are high in carbohydrates, which will cause high blood sugar in the body, which is not good for our health. A low-carb diet means reducing the intake of high-carb foods. So today we will introduce a low-carb diet plan, let’s check it out together!
Principles of weight loss on a low-carb diet
By completely limiting or limiting carbohydrate intake, the body enters a metabolic state called ketosis, where it uses its own fat as fuel. Normally, the body burns carbohydrates first to provide energy to the brain, heart, and other organs. In a state of ketosis, the body gets energy from ketones, which are small carbon fragments that use stored fat as fuel. This results in less hunger, and the body switches from carbohydrate-burning mode to fat-burning mode. The result is that the body's fat-burning energy increases and the fat storage process stops, thus aiding weight loss.
Which foods are low-carb
Fish, cheese, fresh green leafy vegetables (such as spinach), fruits, etc. are the best low-carb foods to eat while following a weight loss plan. White rice, pasta, sweets, and all cookies should be avoided. All menus of a moderate diet plan should be rich in protein, fiber, minerals and vitamins. Therefore, soybeans, skinless lean meats and nuts are some of the best low carb sources.
