The Tremendous Health Benefits of a Low Carb Lifestyle (Bonus Video Included)

Posted on 03.17.21 |

low carb lifestyleDuring the past few years, there has been a lot of research on the low carbohydrate lifestyle and how to help people eat healthier. Most people understand that diet and exercise are two of the pillars of maintaining proper health. In the past, a lot of the focus was on minimizing fat in the diet. Even though it is still important to stay away from certain types of fat, such as saturated fat and trans fats, more focus has been on carbohydrates recently. How can a low-carb diet help you improve your overall health?

You May Be Able To Lose Weight

One of the simplest and most effective ways to lose weight is to reduce your intake of carbohydrates. Multiple medical studies have shown that people who follow a low-carb diet tend to lose weight faster than those who follow low-fat diets. If you follow a low-carb diet, your body can get rid of excess water. This can reduce your insulin levels, leading to rapid weight loss.

Even though it is important for you to exercise regularly, reducing your intake of carbohydrates can help you lose weight. Furthermore, you might also be able to remove excess adipose tissue (aka fat) from your abdomen. It may also be helpful to work with a trained professional to figure out how you can make your low-carb diet lead to sustained weight loss.

You Can Improve Your Triglyceride and Lipid Profiles

In addition, you may be able to improve your triglyceride and lipid profiles. If you follow a low carbohydrate diet, you may be able to increase your levels of HDL, which is your “good” cholesterol.

Furthermore, high-carbohydrate diets, particularly including the simple sugar fructose, have been shown to increase people’s levels of triglycerides. If you are able to reduce your carbohydrate consumption you may enjoy a dramatic drop in your triglyceride levels.

Focusing on your triglyceride and lipid profiles is important because high levels of cholesterol and triglycerides can increase your risk of suffering an adverse cardiovascular event. This could include a heart attack, stroke, or pulmonary embolism. By following a low carbohydrate diet and improving your cholesterol profiles, you can do wonders for your long-term health.

You Can Control Your Blood Sugar and Insulin Levels

Finally, you can control your blood sugar and insulin levels. If your body is unable to regulate its blood sugar levels, this could lead to diabetes, impacting the ability of your body to produce and respond to insulin. Chronically elevated blood sugar levels can lead to nerve damage, eye damage, and kidney damage.

Medical studies have shown that reducing your carbohydrate intake can drastically reduce your blood sugar and insulin levels. In particular, if you are someone who already has diabetes, following a low carbohydrate diet may reduce the amount of insulin you need to take. If you have been diagnosed with type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, or pre-diabetes, be sure to speak with your medical doctor before you start a low carbohydrate diet. You may need to adjust your medication profile.

Consider Following a Low Carb Diet

These are just a few of the numerous health benefits that exist if you follow a low-carb diet. Nobody has said that it is easy to reduce the number of carbohydrates you consume. After all, a lot of foods that don’t taste “sweet,” such as milk and bread, can still have significant amounts of carbohydrates in them. Fortunately, there are ways you can make it easier to adhere to a low-carb diet. Take a look at this video to learn more about how you can improve your overall health with a low carbohydrate diet.
