When you first tell your friends and family that you’re going on a low carb diet, they will often be concerned with your health. The reason for this is because many people don’t understand the low carb diet. As with any unknown thing, when people don’t understand something, they have a tendency to fear it. When you consume carbohydrates, your body will systematically release insulin into your blood. The insulin will be responsible for giving instructions to your cells. It will instruct your cells to absorb the sugar from the blood, and it will also tell your cells not to release any fat for energy, since the carbohdyrates are already being used for this.
Since the fat cells are not instructed to burn the fat, they don’t. What this means is that the fat stays in your body. Insulin plays an important role in removing sugar from your blood, because if the sugar stays in your blood, it can do a great deal of harm to your body. The reason why diabetes is such as dangerous disease is because of the damage the sugar does to your body when you don’t have enough insulin to control it. Whenever you eat something that is rich in sugar, such as cakes, cookies, or donuts, your body will release a large amount of insulin to get the sugar out of your blood.
Your body will proceed to remove all the sugar from your blood. However, there is a problem with this. When your body takes all the sugar out of your blood, you will want more sugar. It is this phenomenon that is known as the “sweet tooth.” While insulin is important for removing sugar from your blood, it is also a double edged sword because it forces the body to store fat rather than burning it. A low carb diet will help you avoid this problem, because instead of burning carbohydrates, you will be able to burn fat, and as the fat is burned, you will begin to lose weight.
When you eat foods large in fat, rather than sugar and carbohydrates, your body will begin to burn fat rather than the carbohydrates. To a lot of people, the low carb diet doesn’t make much sense, because they have been led to believe that fat is bad, and having a diet rich in fat will make you fat. However, this is because the body stores the fat, when the body uses the fat for energy, it will not store, since you need it to function.
