If you’re trying to lose weight, carbs may be your worst enemy.
According to a paper published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition last December, at the “Today” show, the key to losing weight is not to worry too much about the balance between the calories we eat and the calories we burn. A perspective article suggesting that it is to reduce carbs has recently been highlighted. ..
“The body goes against calorie restriction,” said lead author Dr. David Ludwig “today.”
Limiting calories not only makes people more hungry, but also slows down metabolism, Shaw said.
“So there aren’t too many calories in the bloodstream. Too few.”
The popular ketogenic diet is a low-carbohydrate, high-fat diet that makes your body ketotic. This is the process by which the body burns fat instead of carbohydrates.

When our body overproduces insulin, fat cells are programmed to store calories, he explained.
Ludwig, an endocrine metabolite and professor of pediatrics and nutrition at Harvard Medical School, discusses the “carbohydrate-insulin model” of obesity.
According to Healthline, the pancreas produces a hormone called insulin that controls the amount of sugar or glucose in the bloodstream and acts like a “key” that helps glucose enter cells in the body.
Ludwig suggests that our thinking about weight loss is going backwards.
“For years we focused on getting rid of butter because we chose between bread and butter,” Ludwig said.
“But perhaps between the two, bread is a bigger problem.”

He says that eating too many calories does not often lead to weight gain, but the high sugar content of certain carbohydrates causes our body to store too much energy, which. Lets us eat more.
Dr. Karl Nadolski, an endocrinologist specializing in diabetes, metabolism and obesity, begins developing fat stores when he consumes more calories than he can burn over time.
“The whole world believes that obesity is related to energy balance,” said Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric professor of endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. A similar model was described.
“Therefore, it’s calorie-in, calorie-out. So it’s about two actions, gluttony and laziness. So if you’re fat, it’s your fault. Therefore, diet and exercise. Therefore, which Calories can also be part of a balanced diet. ”

Ludwig and his co-authors state that the energy balance theory that people consume more than they burn explains why people gain weight, but it’s the “reason” that hasn’t been addressed. ..
Dr. Samuel Klein, director of the Center for Human Nutrition, University of Washington, said: School of Medicine in St. Louis.
However, according to MedPage Today, Ludwig’s paper was controversial in the medical community, and researchers “advocated and deceived” it.

Nonetheless, meaningful research on low-carb diets is currently underway with concrete results for some patients.

The show highlighted one of his patients, a 42-year-old woman. He signed up for a low carb diet study in 2019. It contained 37 grams of carbohydrates daily and was also rich in protein and healthy fats such as avocados and nuts. ..
Within six weeks she lost 20 pounds, but three years later she lost a cumulative 88 pounds.
She told “today” that it was “not easy” to forget her favorite foods such as pasta and potatoes at first, but the results are worth it.
“Limiting carbs makes your body very good at burning body fat because it burns less sugar as fuel,” Börek said “today.”
Volek explained to Fox News why low-carb diets often fail.

“The majority of adults in the United States (more than 100 million people) consume more carbohydrates than tolerant, so a low-fat diet is ineffective for most people. Strong research has demonstrated reductions. For carbohydrates, it’s a safe, effective and sustainable approach to improving weight and metabolic health, “he said.
