First thing
to know
would be the fundamental differences between these two diet approaches.
As the name implies, high carb diets concentrates on taking in
carbohydrate-rich foods while high fat diets endorses fat-rich foods.
High carb diets are utilized to glycogen stored in the liver and
muscles. Glycogen is a glucose complex that provides large amounts of
energy ready for use in an aerobic exercises.
 Fats, on
the
other hand, is well-known for being the richest source of calories. It
actually contains 2.5 times more calories than carbohydrates and
proteins alike. Studies also show that it takes the body 24 calories to
metabolize carbohydrates while it only takes 3 to burn down fat. So
which one to follow? A person can follow a high carb and low fat
fitness diet or the other way around. It is absolutely not recommended
to follow both at the same time; unless of course if you want to gain
body fat.
But then diet fitness is not all about losing
fat, one must also consider his diet in order to keep fat away.
Research shows that sustainable loss of weight can only be achieved on
a diet which suits the individual food preferences, lifestyle, medical
profile and safety signals.
Diet programs all over can
help you shed off excess pounds, but only one diet can help you stay
sexy, and it is the one that satisfies you most. Other important
aspects of having a fit diet are moderation, balance and variation. One
must be careful not to leave out important nutrients and other
substances necessary for healthy body functioning. Health organizations
are clear about the amounts of nutrients an individual should have in
the body.
Low
fat high carbs, high carbs low fat; the question is not which diet
program will work out but which is it that will work for you. Striving
for a sexy and healthy body does not have to burden an individual, diet
fitness does not have to mean sticking to the same kind of food for
life. One may even try to be adventurous and try out new foods out
there. Who knows? one may even discover spinach interesting...
