I Know There Are Dangers Associated With No Carb And Low Carb Diets. What I Would Like To Know Is How Many?
grams of carbs are required each day to avoid these dangers? i am concerned about two loved ones who are dieting. i can’t seem to make them understand that fad diets are not the answer.
Life is all about balance my friend, extremes in a diet lead to imbalances.When things are out of balance they lead toward unhealthy results. What those unhealthy results will be depends on the persons health, lifestyle and genetics. This sounds really easy but in this day and age it is really hard to find your own balance and I want to stress this is an individual thing although I do believe help can be found in many places. I believe behavior modification works best but believe extremes will work in some extreme cases (hopefully it shouldn’t have to come to that). How long and how much these extremes are used is what will determine the damage and repair of the body and many other variables can determine these as well. Give them research on these diets and encourage things you think may help for them make better choices without making them feel defensive. You know, don’t harp but be informative in an interesting way and set a good example. We know how hard it is to find these balances cause we’ve been there and done that and keep trying because it is one of those things that are a constant juggling act but think of it like this. Juggling smoothly is the goal (balance), however, when learning or for other reasons the juggling it is not smooth (imbalanced) and the more variables added the harder it gets but if you have learned the tecnique and have the talent it gets easier and easier to find the balance in things. Let them know you are only concerned for thier health and it they will be more apt to investigate because moderation, balance and variety are keys to good health and good health should be a goal in life. The human body is very resilliant and hopfully they will make better future choices and learn more. These diets do seem to work well for weight loss in some but we need veg.,fruits, whole grains, nuts seeds and legumes to some extent ( for many of the the things they contain) which are complex carbs (but still carbs) and a variety of theses things are important. The moderation, decrease and sometimes absence of simple carbs (granulated sugar, high fructose corn syrup, white flour, grains stripped of their nutrients etc.) on the other hand can be really good for a body.
what dangers are associated with low-carb? i think you are a bit over yer head here. if the 2 loved ones are over age 18, leave them alone.
