How do low carb diets work if they’re high in fat?
I have been reading up on diets like the Atkins diet, and other low carb diets that people seem to love. My concern is that many of the foods that we are supposed to eat are really high in fat. Also, no milk? I thought dieters always stressed having lots of dairy in their diet.

Dairy can include cheese, yogurt, butter, etc. Milk is high in lactose (another type of sugar)
A high carb diet puts the body into “storage” mode which does not allow the fat stores to be released even if the body is not actively storing fat.
Dietary fats replace carbs for the body’s fuel source in a low carb diet. To keep the body in top fat burning condition, you must eat sufficient calories & they can only come from dietary fats for the body to properly release excess fat stores.
Low carb doesn’t work by starving the body but allowing it to function normally & a normal body doesn’t have excessive fat stores. So when it is in “normal” mode, it releases excess fat stores. A high carb diet forces the body to override normal systems. Carbs >9g per hour trigger insulin & when insulin dominates the blood stream, they don’t allow some other hormones to function properly.

How to reduce the GCT count during 8th month by diets?
Hi. This is my 30th week of pregnancy. I had to do the GCT test and it was high. Ma gynecologist prescribed tablets for reducing ma GCT count. But I heard from my few friends that there is no need to take medicines and we can control it by following diets. Can anyone tell me the proper diet to reduce the GCT count. If anyone knows then please suggest me the tips and diets to follow.

So, let me get this straight…. You’re not going to listen to a trained medical professional who went to college for like TEN YEARS to handle issues like this… But you’ll listen to your friends and to random strangers on Yahoo Answers as to how to treat something that can be dangerous to you and your baby?
My suggestion is listen to your doctor. Otherwise, why go to the doctor at all?
Daniel asks…
Are there any fad diets out there that actually work?
The Atkins diet is definitely unhealthy, but are there any other fad diets out there that work? I need to lose some weight, and I’ve tried a few of the diets out there, but most of them have made me into an even bigger fat stinking hog. Are there any that work?
weight loss cardiff answers:
Nope. It’s always back to basics. 🙂
