I agree with each of the arguments mentioned above. However, for both to be true, several conditions must be met. We often take statements out of context without delving into the reasons for a given state of affairs. Then gossip and slander are ready, even about food.
Slim figure ≠ elimination of carbohydrates
According to the principles of rational nutrition, carbohydrates are needed in the daily diet of every human being. They provide energy, but are also often found in healthy products with dietary fiber. Thanks to it, we feel more satiated and easier to stick to the next meal.
The carbohydrates recommended for consumption daily are complex carbohydrates such as: whole grains, wholemeal pasta, thick groats, cereals, bran.
However, I agree with the opinion that you should also limit your carbohydrate intake. However, they are simple sugars such as: sugar, sweets, cookies, colored drinks, overcooked flour products. They are absorbed very quickly so that we also become hungry faster and eat more.
Simple sugars have a lot of calories that the body is unable to burn when consuming excessively. Thus, the excess leaves for better times in the form of adipose tissue in the body.
Fat burns “in the fire of carbohydrates”
This popular saying among researchers comes from the energy changes taking place in the body. For fat to burn, you need carbohydrates. They are one of the elements of obtaining a compound that participates in fat burning.
Without it, fat can burn in a completely different way. This is when ketone compounds begin to form. However, your well-being starts to deteriorate. You have a headache, fatigue and lethargy.
Prolonged acidification of the organism in this way adversely affects health. Hence, it is better to avoid similar situations. Here we have an argument for the presence of carbohydrates in the diet in controlled amounts.
Kasia, so you can say that both of your statements are true, but each of them under certain conditions. So try to avoid sweets and simple sugars and eat often meals containing complex carbohydrates. Then you will lose weight without feeling hungry or feeling unwell.
