Nutrição Pós-Parto

O objetivo é perder gordura e não peso. A dieta cetogénica ativa o processo natural de queima de gordura do seu corpo. A dieta cetogénica é uma versão rigorosa da dieta low carb, onde o objetivo é comer não mais que 20 gramas de hidratos de carbono por dia. Seguir uma dieta cetogénica também melhora os níveis de energia, uma vez que pessoas com excesso de peso ou obesas têm muito menos energia do que as pessoas que têm um peso corporal saudável. A obesidade também está relacionada com o envelhecimento precoce. Considere perda de gordura como um seguro de vida.

Your body has three main sources of energy: glucose (carbohydrate), fat, and protein. When we burn fat, we produce substances called ketones (these are produced in the fat-burning process). High levels of carbohydrates in the diet, also known as high-glycemic load foods (bread, pasta, rice, and potatoes), act with the hormone insulin to disable fat burning. It becomes virtually impossible to burn fat if you have raised your insulin levels.

Most calorie-restricted diets produce disappointing results mainly due to the loss of muscle mass. This loss of muscle reduces your metabolic rate (ability to burn calories) and increases your likelihood of getting fat again (yo-yo effect). Losing muscle mass and reducing your metabolic rate tends to create a vicious cycle (gaining and losing fat) that causes hormonal and metabolic abnormalities that eventually promote even more fat.

One of the biggest advantages is reducing your risk of developing chronic diseases. Being overweight dramatically increases your risk of developing a number of chronic diseases. Losing weight and maintaining it improves your long-term health. Excess body fat can also affect your self-esteem. Overcoming a challenge, improving your health and feeling good about your body can improve your ability to achieve, self-esteem and health in numerous ways.
