Low Glycemic Diets Improve Your Energy Level
Low Glycemic Diets are lower in sugar or carbohydrates and emphasize more foods that contain protein and healthy fats.
Why Watch Your Carbohydrate Intake?
Carbohydrates contain glucose which is a simple sugar. This sugar is used by your body and your brain for its energy.
Your brain relies on glucose for functions like learning and your muscles rely on glucose as its fuel to get you around.
Just because glucose is an important fuel, it is not such a good idea to consume too much. A little glucose is good and too much is bad for your brain and body.
Two Low Glycemic Diets I Personally Experienced
If given the choice, your body prefers to metabolize glucose over fat and will burn carbohydrates before it burns fat. This is why the Atkin's Diet limits the amount of carbohydrates in order to jump start your body's fat burning process.
Since your body's first choice for energy is glucose, which comes from carbohydrates in your diet, eating too much will create fat storage instead of burning fat.
This diet gave me the endurance to work 6 days a week while being a single mother and taking care of everyday chores like cooking.
Because I only needed about 6 hours of rest every night, this enabled me to get a lot done during this time period.
Taking really good natural-supplements helped this diet tremendously and I noticed when I stopped taking them the diet became harder to do.
My Favorite Low Glycemic Diet
Most of the foods found on the Atkin's Diet will also be found on the Primal Diet. There are a few important differences between these two diets.
Watching your carbohydrate intake is much easier on this diet because grains and legumes are not part of this raw food diet. Fruit is also not a big part and only small portions are suggested. Supplements are not required and mineral water is the only suggested water to drink.
Raw vegetable juices are used for your daily vitamins and minerals. The bulk of this diet is raw animal products such as raw milk and raw meats along with raw coconut cream.
Raw milk was my favorite part of this diet. It just had this very soothing and almost magical property. I noticed that my daughter had no dental cavities until I stopped giving her the raw milk.
I found raw eggs and raw meats very balancing. They really seemed to affect my stamina and energy levels in a good way.
My experience from this diet brought me to a place that I had never been in my long history of diets. It was a very different type of energy and calmness that I experienced. Although I did this diet for approximately 3 years I never went 100% raw, I still was able to achieve quite a different level of health. - 17274
