Can't lose weight by eating less? Why low-carb diets may be the solution

Restricting calories makes you hungrier and slows down metabolism, doctor says. Here’s what works instead.

When it comes to losing weight, the most common advice is to eat less and exercise more, which will help you shed the pounds. Doctors have been preaching this weight-loss mantra for decades, but why has obesity continued to rise in the United States?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than 40% of American adults are considered obese.According to some experts, calorie-restricting diets may actually be doing more harm than good.

As Harvard School of Public Health nutrition professor Dr. David Ludwig explained, when people cut back on their caloric intake, their bodies fight back. While cutting calories can lead to an increase in hunger, he noted that restricting calories also slows down the metabolic rate.

Ludwig told TODAY that while weight loss can be achieved quickly, "very few people can manage to ignore their hunger and fight through those metabolic problems to maintain their weight loss. ".Instead, the carbohydrate-insulin model is the new approach advocated by Ludwig and his colleagues. In the event that overeating isn't to blame for your weight gain, you can stop counting calories and instead focus on reducing your carbohydrate intake to keep your insulin levels in check.

To put it another way, insulin can be considered a kind of fat cell fertiliser. When insulin levels are too high, fat cells become pre-programmed to store energy. As a result, the bloodstream is not overloaded with calories. Ludwig explained: "And that's why we get hungry."

In recent years, low-carb diets have become increasingly popular.

Bread, rice, and sweets are among the most common forms of refined carbs to be cut out of a diet. Instead, avocados and nuts, which are high in healthy fats and protein, are the mainstays of the diet.

Carbohydrate consumption on the ketogenic diet is limited to between 30 and 50 grammes per day, which many Americans find difficult to adhere to because a single bagel contains 48 grammes of carbs.However, new research has shown that low-carb diets are both effective and sustainable.
