Understanding the low carb diet and how it promotes weight loss.Having low carb diet products on hand makes it easier to stick to the diet.The core concept of a low carb diet is the theory that over-consumption of and hypersensitivity to carbohydrates is the root of our problem with being overweight. The principle that a low carb diet is based on says that it is the way your body processes the carbohydrates you eat -- not how much fat you eat -- that prevents weight loss and causes weight gain.Proponents of a low carb diet theorize that many overweight people may be "insulin resistant," that is, the cells that convert carbohydrates into glucose (which becomes energy) do not work correctly. While most diet experts say that not everyone who has a weight problem is insulin resistant, low carb advocates claim it is more likely than not. That's where a low carb diet comes in: What is the remedy to insulin resistance or over-consumption of carbohydrates? Begin restricting yourself, particularly from eating the "bad" ones like those found in processed, pre-packaged and junk foods (cookies, sodas, etc.) and prepare to follow this high-protein eating plan. By reducing your carbohydrate intake to less than 40 grams a day, you will enter a bodily process called ketosis. Ketosis is a state in which your body burns fat as fuel. Proponents of a low carb diet also say that ketosis will affect insulin production which will prevent more fat from being formed. Advocates for a low carb diet suggest that once you enter ketosis and your body begins efficiently using the fat as fuel, your cravings for carbs will subside and you won't miss the foods you are doing without.
