Low-Carb
Diets May Lead to Smaller Appetites
Researchers
say they think they now understand why low carbohydrate diets can be more
effective than others: restricting carbohydrates appears to also restrict
overall appetites. In a study of 10 people whose eating habits were monitored
very closely during a three week hospital stay, scientists discovered
that, when the patients ate fewer carbohydrates they also tended to want
less food overall.
Here's The
Overview:
- The small
study involved just 10 volunteers who were confined to hospital for
three weeks so that every calorie they consumed and expended could be
measured.
- It revealed
that carbohydrates eaten by the volunteers - potatoes, bread and cakes
- stimulated their appetite so they ate more of other foods as well.
- When the
carbs were restricted, consumption of other foods fell as well, even
though the volunteers were free to eat anything else they wanted.
- Over the
three weeks of the study the average daily consumption fell by a third
from 3111 calories a day to 2164 calories, when access to potatoes,
bread and cakes was restricted.
- The volunteers,
who were obese and had diabetes, lost 4.2 pounds on average.
- "Participants
went from an excessive caloric intake to a normal caloric intake for
their height and weight when we reduced their carbohydrates.
- Overall
consumption fell by 1000 calories a day, even though the participants
were offered as much protein and fatty foods as they could eat.
- The researchers
weighed all food, monitored exercise and measured calorie energy intake,
expenditure and body water composition and tested blood sugar, cholesterol
and hormone levels believed to be involved in appetite regulation.
- "All
the weight loss was in fat," Professor Boden said. "It
helps to know that carbohydrates make it more difficult to reduce food
intake. So
cutting the carbohydrates at least to some extent will help keep down
the caloric intake.
One sure fire way of losing weight is by drinking copious amounts of water.
Drinking water flushes fats out of your system as well as increasing your
metabolism. Instead of soft drinks or powdered drink mixes that are loaded
with chemicals and sugar, I suggest is adding the juice of half a lemon
to 32 ounces of water with a sprinkle of Steviva
Brand Stevia Powder. Aside from being less than 2 carbs, you will
get the health benefits that the stevia provides along with the vitamin
C and electrolytes that lemon have. You can substitute limes for lemons
if you get bored and break the routine even more by adding a little unsweetened
cranberry juice. Click
