How to control carbohydrate intake

Everyone's ability to digest carbohydrates is different, which is related to the salivary starch digestive enzyme AMY 1 gene in the body. The more you carry this gene, the stronger your ability to break down carbohydrates.

There is a simple way to test how much AMY 1 is in human body. Just prepare some biscuits without salt, a timer and a pen. First of all, leave as much saliva as possible in your mouth, then put the biscuit in your mouth, chew it and count the time when it feels sweet. Test three times in a row and take the average.

If you can taste the sweetness within 14 seconds, you can take AMY 1 more and eat 250 grams of carbohydrates every day. If you taste the sweetness of/kloc-0.5 to 30 seconds, you can eat/kloc-0.75 grams every day; If you taste the sweetness for more than 30 seconds, you should pay attention. You can only eat 125 grams a day. If you eat too much, you will get fat.

Low-carbohydrate diet means not eating any starch and high-sugar food, only eating high-protein food, strictly controlling carbohydrate intake, and transforming human metabolism from consuming carbohydrates to consuming fat.

It seems that this method of losing weight can achieve the goal of losing weight without effort and exercise, which is really attractive. But in fact, from the actual effect of weight loss, this method will be effective in the short term, and it will reach the bottleneck period after a long time, resulting in very slow weight loss. This way can really lose weight by changing people's diet structure, regulating hormones and changing blood sugar in a short time.

However, carbohydrates are the main energy source of the body. Insufficient energy will lead to insufficient metabolic capacity of the body, affect the body's calorie consumption, and make it more difficult for people to lose weight. Implementing a low-carbohydrate diet is not only difficult to obtain a "devil figure", but also may harm people's health.

Cutting carbohydrate intake will lead to insufficient energy supply to the body, which will lead to listlessness, memory loss and even a serious burden on the liver. In addition, when the body's energy is insufficient for a long time, the body will mobilize its stored fat and protein hydrolysis to provide energy, which will lead to the increase of ketone bodies in metabolites.

With the increase of ketone bodies, patients will have ketoacidosis, and in severe cases, symptoms similar to diabetic ketosis will appear. In addition, long-term adherence to this diet may not only cause the above hazards, but also increase the risk of cancer for dieters.

Researchers at the Mayo Clinic in the United States found that dieters who strictly adhere to a low-carbon water diet usually increase their meat intake, which leads to an increase in blood pressure, blood sugar and cholesterol levels and an increase in cancer risk. But if it only lasts for half a year, it is not found that it will lead to human health problems.
