Free Carbohydrate and sugar diet

by on Thursday, May 8th, 2008

I used to gain weight up to 12 kilos and I can lost 12 kilos that I gained within 3 months, what can I do? I stopped eating carbohydrate and sugar. It’s exactly the rule of Atkin, Atkin rule is that if you want to diet and lose weight, you have to stop eating carbohydrate and sugar because carbohydrate is the food nutrition which will give you the energy to do things but since you stop eating it, the body will use the fat in your body while you’re doing the activities instead.

The pros are that you can lose the weight very fast and I can eat some other things I want like steam chicken or anything except carbohydrate and sugar. But the cons are that I feel tired all the time, I feel like I have no energy and I walk like a zombie. Anyhow, after losing weight with the Atkin’s rule, you have to be careful not to come back and eat a lot of carbohydrate, otherwise you will gain weight back again very fast because your body hasn’t got the carbohydrate for long time, so they will absorb it and keep it to your body.

Anyway, many nutritionists claim that atkin’s rule is not good for health and they think diet is very easy by just not eating more calories than you’re losing it by doing activities.

While you are on diet, fruit must be one of the choices that the person who is on diet chooses to eat. Yes, it’s correct but you have to be careful since fruits contain with sugar and carbohydrates too. If you eat too much fruit, it can make you gain weight as well.

Especially for fruit juice, for instance orange juice. A glass of orange juice must take at least 10-15 oranges which are too much number for people who are on diet. You will get sugar more than the diet people suppose to get.
What’s more, you have to feel torture with the hunger feeling afterward because you take no food but only orange juice. What’s the point to take something which high calories and still make you feel hungry. It’s better to eat raw fruits like real orange, apple, kiwi and others.

Also if you don’t careful enough buying fruit juice which is not 100% contains by fruit. They contain with syrup also and syrup has a lot of sugar which make you gain weight. Many people get wrong idea about fruit and end up with gaining weight instead of losing weight. No matter what you eat, think about the amount of food you eat too even your food contains less calories but since you eat a lot of them, they will give you a lot of calories instead.
