Some interesting facts of healthy low carb diets
It's true that low carb diets aren't the healthiest way to lose weight, but there are things you can (and should) do to make yours healthier. The first thing is to get the facts about the effect low carb dieting has on your health. On the one hand, studies have shown that losing at least 10% of your body weight has health benefits. But how can a low carb diet be a healthy low carb diet if it doesn't allow enough fruits and vegetables?
The fact is, low carb diets don't allow you enough fruit and vegetables. In addition, they encourage people to eat too much protein. Here are some risks and side effects of a low carb diet:
- Bad breath, headaches, moodiness and nausea are all side effects of ketosis, which is a fat burning state your body is in when you're eating only low carb foods.
- Constipation and risk of cancer due to the lack of vitamins and minerals from fruit and veggies
- Risk of osteoporosis due to lack of milk
- Risk of kidney disease from too much protein
- Lack of energy
To avoid most of these risks, take supplements--a multivitamin, fiber supplements and calcium supplements. Just remember, healthy low carb diets like the South Beach diet or The Zone encourage eating good carbs (also known as complex carbohydrates). Other healthy low carb diets encourage you to exercise. (If you have the energy to do it, go for it. It will only increase the fat burn!)
