Do Carbs Count More Than Protein? When diets substitute proteins for carbohydrates, studies show greater fat loss. But it has not been documented whether the effect is due to the increased protein content of the diets or the reduction in high glycemic carbohydrates. Researchers have found that when they put a small group of obese men and women on two different low-carb diets — high and low protein — weight loss results did not differ. "The question: Was it protein or the carbohydrates? This study suggested that perhaps it was the decrease in high glycemic carbohydrates, rather than the increase in protein that made the difference. Do Carbs Count More Than Protein? Similar Results on Both Diets On average, the low-fat, high-protein group lost about 21 pounds. The average weight lost by the high-fat, standard-protein group was 22.5 pounds. Both diets were well tolerated; no negative side effects were seen. Participants said they were less hungry after the low-fat, high-protein meal, both at the beginning and end of the study. Which Diet Is Best? Don't forget
to drink a lot of water while you increase your protein intake. 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
