Can Low-carbohydrate Diet Burn Fat?

Researchers believe that dietary fat is not necessarily converted to body fat, however carbohydrate is readily converted to fat as a process of insulin and most overweight people suffer from hyperinsulinemia which is cause by elevated level of insulin in the body due to over consumption of carbohydrates.

Insulin is a hormone that allows blood sugar to be use by the cells. When you eat a meal high in carbohydrates, the increased blood sugar stimulates insulin production by the pancreas and one of the side effects of this is producing hunger signals in the brain and depositing fat in the body.

When you practice eating too much carbohydrates, the body will become resistant to insulin, in this setting the pancreas has to work spontaneously to meet the high demand for insulin. According to some studies, this process caused harmful effects in human body such as premature aging.

If you limit the amount of carbohydrate you put inside the body, the level insulin will decrease and the glucogen, which is responsible for burning fat, will significantly increase.

If you completely restrict carbohydrate in your diet, the body will undergone a process called ketosis. In a manner like this, your blood sugar levels will stabilize, your insulin level will drop and there will be a subsequent production of ketone bodies in your bloodstream thus leads to weight loss.

When you want to reach the state of ketosis, you must restrict your carbohydrate of at least 30 grams a day, this can help you lose weight easily, however experts suggest that Ketogenic diet is not necessary to lose weight. For those who would prefer to have a higher amount of carbohydrate than needed then they must to limit their caloric intake to lose weight.

People with diabetes may vary their diet to their current weight. If a diabetic is skinny, it is not necessarily that they have to adopt the Ketogenic Diet but if a diabetic person is overweight, they must practice this diet to lose weight and stabilize their blood sugar level.
