2. Kidney Stones
Kidney stones are hard masses that form in the kidneys
when uric acid or calcium oxalate crystallizes and
over time form stones. Insoluble fiber found only
in carbohydrates reduces the absorption of calcium,
which cause urinary calcium levels to drop resulting
in prevention of kidney stone's formation. The FAT
LOSS COACH program recommends the consumption of 30
or more grams of fiber daily. This is not attainable
on low - carbohydrate diets.
3. Constipation and Poor Intestinal Health
To maintain good intestinal health our bodies require
thirty or more grams of fiber daily. Fiber is divided
into two types soluble and insoluble. Insoluble fiber
is vital in formation of stools and decreases the
time process of waste elimination. Low carbohydrate
diets are too low in insoluble fiber and increase
risk of constipation. Poor transit time of waste material
increases risk of certain colon cancers. Insoluble
fibers prevent the buildup of mucus on intestinal
walls which lead to poor absorption of nutrients into
the body.
Low carbohydrate diets are inadequate to maintain
good intestinal wall health. The FAT LOSS COACH program
uses whole grains, oats, beans, fruits and vegetable
which are rich in soluble and insoluble fiber. This
lowers the risk for constipation, irritable bowel,
diverticulitis, crohn's disease, hemorrhoids and colon
cancers.
4. Rise in Cholesterol Levels increase Risk
Heart Disease
Risk of heart disease increases on a low carbohydrate,
low fiber diets. These diets promote excessive amounts
of animal protein, cholesterol and saturated fat.
Exuberant amounts of protein increase homocysteine,
which is a bi product of the amino acid methionine.
Many experts believe that high homocysteine levels
have many toxic effects which lead to increase risk
of heart disease and hardening of arteries. Low carbohydrate,
low fiber diets reduce the absorption and elimination
of digestive bile in the intestines. Digestive bile
is produced in the liver from cholesterol. A decrease
in digestive bile production raises blood serum cholesterol
levels which increases risk of heart disease. Unlike
low carbohydrate diets the FAT LOSS COACH promotes
nutritional balance providing 30% protein, 50% high
fiber carbohydrates, 20% fat.
5. Osteoporosis
Osteoporosis is the reduction of bone density, due
to the loss of calcium over long periods of time.
Several dietary factors increase the risk of osteoporosis.
When dietary protein reaches excessive levels, so
does the loss of calcium in the urine. Most studies
show that a life - long high protein diet results
in an increase of osteoporosis. Poor intestinal health
due to low fiber diets cause inadequate absorption
of calcium in intestines contributing to poor bone
formation.
This would suggest that all low carbohydrate diets
cannot become a life long lifestyle of eating. This
is only one of many reasons why low carbohydrate diets
provide poor Long Term Weight Control. Interestingly,
a diet too low in protein can also increase risk of
osteoporosis. There is no one size fits all when managing
our weight. All FAT LOSS COACH programs are customized
to the individual providing the right balance of protein,
carbohydrate and fat.
6. Loss of Muscle and Reduction of Metabolism
Any diet that applies the restriction of calories
less than the body's daily requirements over long
periods of time will result in the loss of lean muscle
tissue and a decrease in the metabolism. All low carbohydrate
diets are focused solely on weight loss. The loss
of fat comes at a high cost, which is the loss of
lean muscle. The loss of muscle reduces the resting
metabolic rate, which is the major cause for rebound
weight gain.
Research shows 95% of all dieters' will regain that
weight back. WE DON'T FAIL AT DIET'S - DIET'S FAIL
US! The FAT LOSS COACH is a nutritional breakthrough
because of it's three day eating cycle, called the
GLYCO - CYCLE. The secret is we don't try to lose
fat every day. That would result in losing muscle
and reducing metabolism. ( Go to FAT LOSS COACH story
to learn how the Glyco - Cycle was discovered ).
7. Poor Exercise Performance and Recovery
Carbohydrates are the primary fuel for your muscles
and brain. Eating a low carbohydrate diet prevent
proper maintenance of muscle and liver glycogen (
storage form of carbohydrate and water ), decreasing
muscle performance and increasing muscle fatigue.
ATP is the main source of energy for all muscle contraction.
When a muscle is used, a chemical reaction breaks
down ATP to produce energy.
There is only enough ATP stored in the muscle for
a few contractions. More ATP is needed. There are
three enzyme systems that can create more ATP. The
three sources of ATP for muscle contraction are carbohydrates,
fatty acids and amino acid proteins. Carbohydrates
metabolize efficiently and are therefore used first.
If carbohydrates are not available, your muscles metabolize
fatty acids and amino acids as secondary sources of
ATP.
These secondary sources are not efficient, which
consequently cause your strength and endurance to
drop drastically. The FAT LOSS COACH is customized
to your amount of muscle and exercise schedule. It
provides 50% of your calories from high fiber, low
glycemic ( turn into blood sugar slowly ) carbohydrates
which are metabolized into muscle energy best. This
will lead to increases in strength and muscle endurance.
Final Thoughts
Long term success managing weight starts with the
right approach. If you are overweight, the real problem
is that you have too much body fat for how much muscle
you possess. A body composition solution is needed,
not just a weight loss diet. Your goal should be to
lose fat without losing muscle or sacrificing your
health in the process.
To maintain your results your eating habits must develop
life long character. Low carbohydrate diets provide initial
weight loss, but at the high cost of losing muscle and reducing
metabolism. They are inadequate sources of fuel to support
exercise activity, which is vital in maintaining good health.
The risks to your health long term makes low carbohydrate
diet's poor solutions for life long weight management.
