There are numerous reasons why people opt for a diet, either to lose weight, improve performance, or simply to maintain a healthy body. One of the important aspects of dieting involves being aware of the macronutrients in our food. These macronutrients are fats, cholesterol, protein, amino acids, fiber, and carbohydrates. Often, weight-loss diets are geared towards less carb intake and more protein intake. Why is that? Carbs are mostly found in sweet foods because they are made of sugar or starch. When we consume carbs, it turns into glucose, which is used as the primary source of energy for our body. Carbs can be classified as healthy and unhealthy. Healthy carbs can be found in fruits and vegetables, beans, and whole grains which aid in delivering nutrients. Unhealthy carbs, on the other hand, can be found in sodas, processed foods, and white bread. Often, these foods cause weight gain and the excessive intake of these carbs may lead to serious diseases like diabetes. Research has shown that less carb intake results in natural weight loss. It helps in decreasing your appetite and some people feel fuller and more satisfied with less carb intake. However, eating very little amounts of carbohydrates will not allow your body to function properly due to a lack of sugar. Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, may happen. Your body will also undergo ketosis or burning fat for energy. Therefore, eating the right amount of carbs is very important in maintaining a healthy body. One way to do this is through carb cycling but the vegan way.
