Diet? low carb or low calorie?
Question:
Answers:
Combine the two and you have the perfect diet.
It varies - some people react better to a low-calorie diet, others have better luck on a low-carb diet. The most important thing to remember is not to drop too low on calories, regardless of whether you're following a low-carb or low-cal diet. If you drop below a certain number of calories (I believe around 1300, but you should check into that), your body goes into starvation mode and your metabolism drops way down, causing you to not lose weight. The best way to lose body fat is to exercise; if you turn the fat into muscle, it will burn more calories, even when you're not working out. Try to change just a few things - eating fruits and veggies, go for a walk after dinner, or check out a fitness center. Talk to your doctor if you want to start a major fitness program. Good luck!
Low carb diets are very bad, because you are usually not getting the fiber you need. Plus, if you do do the low carb, that means you will be eating mor fats, and protein, and i no my self that being overweight, fats are not good for you. I did the low carb diet once, and lost about 6 pounds in a month, I got fed up so i did the low calorie and lost close to 25 pounds in a month! I didnt no that was possible. I consumed between 1200 and 1500 calories a day and every night i did simple exersizes, and when i wanted to reward myself i did. I wish you the best of luck!
if you go on a low carb diet you can end up getting kidney stones... all the time not just one or two through your whole diet
not everyone goes through that though
What about both low carb and low calorie?
I am on low carb, low fat, high fibre, high protein and a hour brisk walk 5 times a week, and I have lost 31lbs and gain better health. I am now maintaining my 108lbs for 2 years.
Details such as my experience, types of foods and veggies to eat, healthy low fat snacks, meals, recipes, walking as an exercise and to shape the body etc etc, are in my blog.
