High Carb Diets?
Most people are familiar with low carb diets such at Atkins or (to an extent) The Zone, and now some people are trying a high carb diet called System S:
The System S Diet turns the high-fat, low-carbs ideal of Atkins on its head, promoting high carbs and sugar to ensure a low-fat diet.
Women are also likely to rejoice at the idea that having a little bit of what we like, such as chocolate and sugar, can equal sustained weight loss. […]
Sugar, especially that in carbohydrates, has fewer calories than fat and also makes you full.
Those on high-fat diets find it takes longer to get the information that they are full. […]
A diet with chocolate and sugar? Now I think I’ve heard everything <g>. And even though carbs might make you feel full more quickly, I found that they’re digested more quickly than protein or fat — which can result in recurring hunger sooner :-/. And corn syrup, in particular, has its own problems — unlike sugar, it doesn’t trigger the stomach hormone ghrelin which tells the body that it’s full.
Here’s my brillliant diet. I lost 13 lbs in two months on this diet. Eat food. Don’t eat a lot of bad food–you know, like chocolate, or fast food, or cheese doodles–but some is okay. (what can I say? ice cream, german chocolate, chocolate covered pretzels and cookies.) Don’t eat too many greasy meals (pizza, hamburgers, etc.); I have one or maybe two a week. (This usually correlates with going out to eat. Eating in means you know what you’re eating which is helpful too.) Find an excercise you like and do it as much as you like. I like swimming because it’s relaxing. I swim five times a week. I also find walking to and from campus relaxing, so I end up walking at least 45 minutes a day.
Voila! It’s a freaking amazing. When will people stop coming up with stupid and restrictive diets that are frustrating and generally hard to follow? I’ve seen people literally lose a hundred pounds on some of them, but what’s it matter when they gain it back.
And I’ll bet you that I can whoop most anyone on those diets in a gamut of physical tests.
I really need help because no matter how hard i work i can never lose wait
