HAS no carb diet it is different from a low carb diet. It is more intense because you are allowed zero carb intake. There must be an alternative source of energy in your diet. Fat will be the main source and protein is another backup source. Most of your intake on a no-carb diet will be cheese, fish, egg, and meat.
The natural consequence of this is a ketogenic state as consumed fat is converted to ketones. The oxidation of fat is not the regular scenario of your metabolic processes that normally depend on carbohydrates. For this reason, a strict no-carb diet should ideally be discussed by a doctor, especially if you have any medical conditions that might make trying it dangerous.
To qualify for the no-carbohydrate diet category, your total daily intake must not exceed 50 grams of carbohydrates. However, even when you eat more than that, there is a chance that you will continue to lose weight.
Preparing for a no-carb diet
It is difficult to start such a strict diet regimen without prior preparation. Give yourself time to prepare for it. Make a list of foods that are allowed. Don’t assume that because this is a hard diet that it won’t be delicious. There are many tasty items that can be eaten even with that protocol.
Creativity is the key to enjoying your restricted diet. Be ready and willing to try different new recipes and eating plans.
First, assess how many carbohydrate calories you can eat each day. This will depend on your weight loss goals and your current body weight. You’ll quickly realize that eating fewer carbs changes and optimizes your body composition and ratio, leaving you in better metabolic health and higher levels of health biomarkers.
The good news is that when you ensure that your glucose and glycogen levels are sufficient to replenish cellular stores, you won’t feel tired or weak, even on a strictly carbohydrate-restricted diet. Few dieters complain of fatigue, low energy, or a feeling of mental dullness.
There is a caveat with very low carb diets. You can’t get enough calories if you’re an active person. Anyone who runs, jogs, skis, or is physically active for long periods of time can manage an adequate calorie intake without including carbohydrates in the diet.
Under such circumstances, depriving your body of carbohydrates can lead to tiredness, sore muscles, bone loss, and reduced performance. That is not a desirable situation and your diet plan needs modification.
