The general public incorrectly believe that a low fat diet is the way to lose belly fat. Several research has demonstrated a low carbohydrate diet is indeed more effective for belly fat loss.
Since the early 70s, US citizens reduced their fat intake from forty percent to 34%. Yet, the obesity pandemic has been rising steeply since it commenced in the early 1980's. Why?
Unjustifiable consumption of carbs. Our primal ancestors lived on a hunters-gatherers diet of basically beef, veg, fruits, nuts and seeds. Grain wasn't even part of human diet until rural started about ten thousand years ago. The increase in human population and decline in hunted large game made it necessary for humans to take on farming.
The development of human diet from mainly animal sources to grain products ( refined carbs ) has led straight to a fall in the quantity and quality of human life. Sicknesses and conditions like diabetes, obesity and heart problems which were once non-existent, are now common.
Take a look at your existing diet. Are you consuming lots of refined carbohydrates like bread, pastas, cereals, cakes, biscuits and sugar? Excess consumption of refined carbohydrates inhibits stored body fat from being used as energy. The body becomes changed to burning sugar as fuel and forgets the best way to burn fat.
Everyone needs some carbs. In the body, carbohydrates are converted into glucose as a main source of energy for the brain. New glucose is stored as glycogen in the liver and muscles. Only the glycogen in the liver can be converted back to glucose for use by the brain when mandatory.
The body has limited capacity for storing carbohydrates. Although the muscles can store more glycogen than the liver, its reserves cannot be broken down when energy is needed by the brain. Once the glycogen reserves are full, excess carbohydrates are converted into fat.
Eating a high carb meal can cause a spike in glucose levels. This prompts the pancreas to release insulin into the bloodstream to lower the glucose levels. The bad news is insulin is a fat storage hormone. It tells the body to store excess carbs as fat. Fluctuation in blood sugar levels causes longings for more carbohydrates and hence, more fat storage in response to insulin.
