Yes! A diet rich in simple carbohydrates can bring your fast weight loss program to a standstill. Foods like soft drinks, fruit juice, chocolates, and other high-sugar items can stall a perfectly healthy weight loss regime.
Why Do Simple Carbs Slow A Weight Loss Process?
Consumption of a simple diet that comprises of simple carbohydrates cause the body to release a hormone called insulin. Insulin regulates the blood sugar within the blood stream in a body. Higher levels of insulin in the body lead to a chemical reaction that makes your body store calories in the form of fat.
Increased levels of insulin for a prolonged period of time also cause a slowdown in the metabolism rate of the body. This further prevents the body from using up the stored fat and releasing it in the form of energy.
Foods That Contain Simple Carbohydrates
All food items that are sweet and contain sugar are simple carbohydrates. Some such food items are sodas, candy bars, fruit juices (both canned and fresh) and simple table sugar. The surprising part is that several food items like raisins, cherries or fat-free foods that might have been categorized as ‘healthy food items’ can also trigger a rise in the insulin level within the blood stream.
Food items that contain certain nutrients and vitamins also quickly convert to sugar once they enter the blood stream. So the only way out is to stop the consumption of simple carbohydrates completely. Your dietician can help you formulate a simple diet to aid healthy weight loss.
When Simple Sugars Prove Advantageous?
All simple carbohydrates are not bad. They do have their uses too. Simple sugars are a lifesaver for those who suffer from low blood sugar. For such people the consumption of simple sugars can help restore proper blood sugar levels.
Complex Carbohydrates: A Better Choice
For those who are on a fast weight loss program, a diet rich in complex carbohydrates is a better choice. Food items like sweet potatoes, oatmeal, rice and other fresh whole foods contain complex carbohydrates. Pastas, corn, beans or the latest fad ‘the carbohydrate bar’ are less beneficial for those who are on a weight loss regime.
Protein, on the other hand is a healthy option. Consumption of protein slows down the conversion of carbohydrates to sugar and thus helps the insulin levels from rising beyond controllable levels. A simple diet that comprises of a perfect combination of both protein and carbohydrates can help to keep the blood sugar in control.
‘Go Green’
Green veggies also contain carbohydrates, but their fiber content is so high that they hardly affect the metabolism of a person. Besides, green vegetables like spinach, mustard greens, lettuce, broccoli, okra and sprouts also provide the body with all the nutrients and vitamins that it needs.
Conclusion
A diet that comprises of fiber, protein and complex carbohydrates is low on calories and high on minerals and nutrients. Bid adieu to simple carbohydrates and adopt a healthy weight loss diet accompanied with regular exercise for fast weight loss.
