The case for lower carb eating
Lower carb eating is tasty, interesting and colourful!
Why it works
We eat too much carbohydrate that our bodies were not designed for.
Our physiology is based on being hunter-gatherers, which we were for 2 million years. It was only around 10,000 years ago we became farmers and started to cultivate carbohydrates. In our society today, there is always plenty of food and we eat too much refined carbohydrate.
As a result many of us are now carbohydrate intolerant. One sure sign of this is extra weight, especially around your middle.
There is clear evidence to suggest that the standard dietary advice, which is what many weight loss diets are based on, is flawed. There is no benefit to counting calories as different types of food are processed differently by our bodies. Not all calories are equal.
Carbohydrate intolerance is actually an issue of hormonal imbalance, primarily too much insulin and insulin resistance. To tackle this we need to reduce the amount of carbohydrates we eat and eliminate sugar.
Insulin converts blood sugar into energy for our cells to use. Storing any excess as fat. With a carbohydrate rich diet we can produce too much insulin and become insulin resistant – where we struggle to use the energy from the blood glucose and build up fat. When our cells lack energy we feel tired and hungry for more carbohydrate based food. Whilst we hang on to our fat!
The vicious circle goes on if we continue to eat carbohydrates with the fat continuing to build up.
Only when our insulin levels come down, through lowering our blood sugar and eating only when we are hungry, will we switch to burning fat for energy.
Lower carb meals do not spike the blood sugar, so help us maintain more stable hormone levels and reduce insulin resistance. In time this will encourage our bodies to burn fat for energy – both the fat we eat and the excess body fat we have stored.
My book provides an overview of the lower carbohydrate way of eating with plenty of inspiration on what to actually eat.
