Despite the warnings of dietitians, many people try to lose weight based on hearsay information and unfortunately believe that they need to eliminate carbohydrates from their lives in order to achieve this. When he saw that he lost weight after removing carbohydrates from his life, he claimed that what he did was right and even that it was a scientific fact. However, although it is quite normal for him to lose weight in the beginning due to the mass of water expelled from his body, he makes a big mistake by thinking that he is losing weight.
Because; At first, most of the body weight he loses consists of water. When carbohydrates enter the body, the water that is kept in the cells in case the water density decreases is removed from the cells because it is no longer needed when the carbohydrates are cut off and goes out of the body in various ways.
Thus, instead of losing fat from the body, it loses water. After a while, he believed that he was losing weight and decided to end the diet, and he regained the weight very quickly.
Of course, it is not limited to this, there is also a health dimension to this. While it has not been shown that long-term carbohydrate restriction can provide more effective results than other forms of nutrition in losing body weight, it has actually been shown to pave the way for negative effects on health.
The adult brain requires 140 grams of glucose daily. When you do not consume enough carbohydrates, the amount of glucose entering your body is limited and your brain functions are restricted from continuing to function normally. Therefore, when you cut carbohydrates, the body breaks down fat cells for energy in the absence of carbohydrates. Ketone bodies, which occur as a result of burning fats as energy, first appear in the blood, and as their amounts increase, they begin to pass into the urine. Due to energy loss and ketone accumulation, low-carb diets may cause nausea, headaches, difficulty breathing, dizziness, weakness, bad breath, Along with symptoms such as frequent urination and dehydration, it disrupts the delicate chemistry in the body and causes diabetic ketoacidosis, a dangerous condition.
