There are many different diets that promise an amazing result in a small amount of time. One of these diets is a carbohydrate diet. Let's figure out what you can eat on a carbohydrate diet.
Carbohydrates are one of the most important elements contained in food. It is thanks to consumed carbohydrates, we feel the tides of strength and excellent performance.
All carbohydrate diets are divided by the number of allowed carbohydrates per day at
- low-carbohydrate - carbohydrate intake per day up to 125 grams;
- hard carbohydrate - up to 20 grams of carbohydrates per day.
These diets were developed by nutritionists, who in their studies came to such conclusions - responsible for increasing hunger is the carbohydrates we consume, if we exclude them from their diet, the appetite will invariably decrease, and consequently the extra pounds will begin to melt. The peculiarity of the carbohydrate diet is that by specifically reducing the amount of carbohydrates consumed, we do not increase the consumption of such elements as fats and proteins. It is impossible not to notice that eating this way, we do not harm our body in any way. Any diet is not only pluses, but also minuses.

3. We do not reduce the amount of protein consumed, but we do not increase it, so our body reacts adequately to the course of the dietary way of life, the proteins contribute to fat burning, especially under physical stress.
4. During this diet, the body begins to produce special substances - ketones, which also contribute to rapid fat burning. In addition, these substances are excellent natural antidepressants.
Negative aspects of a carbohydrate diet.
1. Excessive use of protein products overloads the most important body systems - primarily the liver.
2. Protein products can contain a huge amount of fat. Therefore, you need to carefully choose products.
3. The aforementioned ketone substances not only have a beneficial effect on weight loss, but also damage the liver, brain and kidneys
4. Insufficient amount of carbohydrates in the body leads to the formation of ketone bodies, which adversely affects the liver, kidneys and brain.
5. Of course, any restriction of nutrition leads to a deficiency in the body of nutrients, acids and minerals, which negatively affects the gastrointestinal tract.
