Who wants to lose weight is to know the Atkins diet.
Sure, he says, to help you lose weight quickly and easily – 7-15 pounds in seven days what exactly appeal to those who want to Shape Up but without sacrificing their need for meat.
But hey, a report in Archives of Internal Medicine said that carbohydrate (low carb low) and a high protein diet (eg Atkins diet) can increase cholesterol – bad side effects. And iswith regard to both LDL (low density lipoprotein, commonly known as "bad" cholesterol) and HDL (high density lipoproteins – "good" cholesterol).
HDL helps the body get rid of bad cholesterol. LDL contributes to the development of plaque on artery walls, increasing the risk of cardiovascular disease.
The results of an analysis of five clinical trials fat diet low carbohydrate diet compared to low. Tastings attracted 447 participants aged 42 to49. Of the 447 participants to 225 assume a low-fat diet, the rest with a low-carb.
Both groups were then tested for their loss of weight and blood pressure after six and nine months. As expected, for the first six months, participants in low-carb diet lost more weight. After 12 months. The result of weight loss and blood pressure the same for both groups
What matters is that you realize the outcome of the low-carb diet, totalhigh cholesterol in 12 months. A diet low in carbohydrates usually wear high in fat, due to higher cholesterol levels.
But the results also show that high cholesterol led to a parallel increase in both LDL and HDL. They also had lower levels of triglycerides, a type of fat that contributes to LDL in the blood.
Therefore, the beneficial effects (high triglycerides and low HDL) from low-carb diet to neutralize the negative apparenteffect on total and LDL cholesterol?
Not necessarily. In a study published in the Journal of Lipid Research showed that in 2003 a high level of triglycerides, high HDL, LDL and low risk independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease really.
Thus, despite the results low-carb diet, we need more evidence for the conclusion of the study has limitations. Researchers in the low carb diet report also expressed concerneffects of low-carb diet on cholesterol and cardiovascular system because it contains large amounts of fats and proteins.
It is more likely to consume diet richer in saturated fat when you're high. This increases the consumption of calories as fat provides more calories per gram of carbohydrate. Fat contributes 9 calories per gram, while carbohydrates have 4 calories per gram.
They also have a higher risk ofreducing heart disease if you're not fat intake.
Other health problems associated with a high protein diet include kidney failure, high cholesterol, osteoporosis and kidney stones. As a guide, an adult should have 50-60 percent of their calories from carbohydrates, 10-15 percent from protein and 20 to 30 percent from fat.
So I can not recommend long-term agreement with the Atkins diet, which is likely to damage health.
