How High-Carb Diet Plans Treat Carbohydrates by Rick Trojan

As far as your body is concerned. Calories are calories. No

matter where they come from. Eat too many calories (whether

from fat, carbohydrates or protein) and you'll gain weight

period.

Aside from weight loss. The popularity of low-fat food has

broader implications for your health. Commercially prepared low-

fat foods tend to be rich in highly processed carbohydrates.

Thus causing big spikes in your blood sugar level. Over time

this can increase the chances of you developing heart disease

and diabetes.

For example, in a study of 80,000 nurses. Harvard researchers

calculated that replacing a given number of calories from

polyunsaturated fat. With an equivalent number from easily

digested carbohydrates. Increased the risk for heart disease by

over 50 percent.

Some other studies have found that a low-fat, high-carbohydrate

diet. Particularly one high in sugars. Can worsen your blood

cholesterol and triglycerides levels. Both of which are risk

factors for heart disease.

You can minimize or avoid any diet deficiencies associated with

high-carbohydrates diets. When you approach your high-

carbohydrate diet as an integrated part of your *-lifestyle-*,

not solely an ingredient focus.
