Lizzie asks…

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.

weight loss cardiff answers:

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.

weight loss cardiff answers:

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. 🙂

Daniel asks…

is giving up soda an easy weight loss plan?

my dad says if i gave up soda, i could loose a lot of weight (in a “long” period of time) so… if i gave up soda for like, 3 months, about how much would i loose?

weight loss cardiff answers:

Giving up soda is a great way to cut back.
Soda has a ton of sugar that clogs arteries and its just really bad for you. Its hard to say how much weight you will lose because every1’s body is different and I don’t know what other foods you eat….
But maybe a few pounds

Maria asks…

Why do people think that weight loss is easy? That they can pop a pill and never break a sweat?

Im so tired of peole whining that they want to lose weight, which pill should they take.The key to weight loss is diet and exercise.If you work out, great!You have to keep pushing yourself or you won’t get anywhere.I just don’t understand why people think that it’s going to be easy to burn calories.Fad diets don’t work and neither do pills.Is that really so hard to understand?You didn’t gain the weight overnight, you’re not going to lose it that way.Let’s also not forget that yo-yo dieting hurts your body in the long run.But that’s all for them to figure out.Let the pill-poppers have a heart attack when their heart rate gets up too high.They have been warned.
I know all the reasons people think it’s easy like tv ads and such. I just don’t understand the psychology behind it. Why are we programmed in this country to want everything RIGHT NOW? Anything worth having is worth fighting for, IMO.

weight loss cardiff answers:

Hey hun….i think you have said whats been on a lot of peoples minds in this forum….i also think that a lot of people look at it as somethin’ like..oh i think im gonna loose some weight and see how fast it melts off…then get discouraged cause it doesn’t…i have learned from personal experience that weight loss is not just something to do for a few weeks and then drop it….its a commitment…even if you ever get to your idea body style then you have to keep working to stay there…it takes years of hard work sweat and sacrifice to get in great physical shape…there is no need in pills or creams or even low carb diets because your body will loose the weight if you will feed it right and get off your butt….in other words getting fit is NOT for the faint of heart….love daisy
