The calorie shifting diet differs a lot from the conventional diets.
The great thing is that we don't have to calculate and measure
everything we eat. No more tormenting and starvation, however it
requires a little bit of discipline and some changes. Of course.
All diets targets the metabolism but in different ways. A low fat
diet takes out a piece of the puzzle and so does a low carb diet. I
think that we could agree that low fat diets is no good. We need fat
but we should eat the healthy fats, use more olive oils and not so
much hard fats. Liquid fats are better, if we penetrate this deeper,
this will be a complete essay in physiology. Just trust me on this
one.
Low carb diets are have gained in popularity over the last 5 years.
The main reason I don't like low carb dieting is that our brain needs
glucose to perform well. We get glucose from carbohydrates. If we
exclude all carbs from our diet our body will lack glucose. To
replace this, our metabolism tries to find a substitute, ketones.
Ketones is a product from metabolized fats. When these take over the
role of the glucose we have a condition called ketoacidosis and our
breath starts smelling like nailpolish-remover. Do you think that
this seems natural?...
