Measuring insulin and sugar levels after eating confirms this impact with higher carbohydrate meals consistently producing higher peaks in glucose and then insulin response \u2013 usually followed by a sharp fall with a hypoglycemic response. Hence the common experience of sudden hunger around 10:30 to 11:00 am having eaten a cereal based breakfast first thing.
\nMany studies have demonstrated that low carbohydrate diets have better outcomes in comparison to low fat diets, consistently reducing glucose levels more, reducing insulin levels by up to 50% more and creating greater weight loss, in particular fat loss.
\n
\nThe other advantage of low carbohydrate diets is that they are less likely to make you feel hungry and therefore compliance is easier \u2013 hunger as we all know is the fatal breaker of the firmest resolutions! This is why I myself, eat a good protein diet each and every morning without fail.<\/p>\n

Defining a Low Carbohydrate Diet<\/h2>\n

There are scenarios where trying to achieve a very low carbohydrate intake and primarily metabolising fat and ketones is very important \u2013 for example some forms of epilepsy, some cases of dementia and also in cancer treatment. There is compelling evidence that it is a healthy diet for many people BUT you do not necessarily need to go to this length to see beneficial impacts from lowering carbohydrate.
\nOur current carbohydrate intake, which is pushing up to around 65% of energy intake is so high compared to our ancestral diet that even reducing to the level of around 45%, that was the approximate intake four decades ago, is likely to be of some benefit. It is in the last 40 years that we have seen the exponential rise in diabetes and obesity. Simple steps to achieving Low Carbohydrate Intake \u2013<\/p>\n
