Before and After Weight Loss – Amazing Photos
to be the body's preferred source of energy and the brain's essential source of energy. That's because they lost mostly water weight, since glycogen holds more than double its weight in water. This is why just using a scale to gauge your progress is a bad idea. Glycogen is burned throughout the day, and eating carbs refuels your tank. If you suddenly stop refilling the tank, your body still needs a source of fuel for the brain. In this case, your body will make its own glycogen by breaking down muscle tissue. Again, not good! Cutting carbs too drastically will send you into a state of Ketosis, which is when you have an abnormal amount of ketone bodies in the blood. Ketone bodies are produced when carbs are scarce and energy must be obtained by breaking down fatty-acids Ketone bodies are created to help feed the brain, being that most long-chain fatty acids cannot pass the blood brain barrier. One of the byproducts of ketone bodies breaking down fatty-acids is acetone, yep, paint remover. The longer you go without glucose, the more ketone bodies have to be produced by the liver, and the more acetone develops in the system. If ketosis makes me lean, should that be my goal?. Most medical resources regard ketosis as a physiological state associated with chronic starvation. Ketosis would thus be a dangerous potentially life-threatening state, which unnecessarily stresses the liver and causes destruction of muscle tissues. Finally, after maintaining a low-carb diet , when you do decide eat carbs, your body has no idea how to process them and will immediately turn them into triglycerides, which is a fatty acid. Put simply, your body forgets how to use carbs and will immediately store them as fat. Okay, so you just told me not to slash fat and not to slash carbohydrates. The long-term solution is not to simply cut things out, but to replace what you're currently eating with better and more thermic foods that your body can use. Lean protein eggs , chicken , fish , bison , beef , low fat dairy , etc .
