Low Carbohydrate High Fat - The Theory Behind LCHF

Carbohydrates breaks down in the stomach into simple sugars before absorption in the intestine to the blood. This rising blood sugar which in turn increases the production of the hormone insulin. It is the body’s most “fat stored” hormone.

Insulin is produced in the pancreas. The larger amount of the hormone it prevents the body to burn fat and stores in excess of nutrients into fat cells. It can be a time (some hour) lead to a deficit of nutrients in the blood, which creates feelings of hunger, and a “taste for sweets”, after which You usually eat more. Then the whole process starts again, a vicious circle that is.

Low intake of carbohydrates in the diet gives the contrary, lower blood sugar levels and thereby lower insulin values. It increases the release of fat from fat tissue, and increases fat burning. This tends to gradually reduce body fat, particularly around the stomach of abdominal fat people. LCHF, Low Carbohydrate High Fat, make it easier for the body to live on the fat layers, then the release of these are not hindered by high insulin levels in the blood. There may be a reason that fat intake satisfied the feeling of hunger in the long term better than carbohydrate intake. The intake of calories tend generally to reduces in studying, when people may eat moderately on LCHF instead of “normal” food.
