Low Glycemic Diets Help to Stabilize Your Mood and Boost Your Stamina

By Kathryn Barry

Low Glycemic Diets usually contain a decent amount of animal foods and not so much fruits or grains.

Why Watch Your Carbohydrate Intake?

Glucose is a simple sugar that your body and especially your brain uses for energy. Mainly to be found in foods that contain carbohydrates or sugar.

Your brain relies on glucose for functions like learning and your muscles rely on glucose as its fuel to get you around.

Even though carbohydrates are an important fuel for your brain, a little goes a long way. Indulging in too much glucose will actually have the opposite effect and become a bad thing for your brain and body.

I Tried Two Low Glycemic Diets

The Atkin's Diet restricts carbs and this forces your body to burn its stored fat reserves for energy. Your body tends to utilize carbohydrates over fat in the creation of energy and this is why this diet limits the amount of carbs you ingest.

Glucose from carbohydrates is first in line and will be metabolized before fat. This will create fat storage instead of fat burning when too many carbohydrates are consumed.

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.

I didn't need to sleep for more than 6 hours and I got a lot of work done during my experience with this diet.

The addition of good natural quality supplements helped boost this diet and helped to give my body the nutrition required to stay in good health.

This is My Favorite Between the Two Low Glycemic Diets

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.

This is a raw food diet and there is No Carb Counting involved. Grains and Legumes are not really allowed and supplements are not recommended for this diet. If you must drink water, Mineral Water is the recommended choice.

Raw animal products such as raw dairy and raw meats make up most of this diet. Drinking your vegetables is recommended over chewing them and raw coconut cream is one of the fats used.

The one thing I miss the most from this diet is raw milk. It really helped myself and my child. My daughter had no dental cavities until I could not find a convenient supply of raw milk and had to stop.

My endurance was greatly affected by the consumption of raw eggs and raw meat. It is actually very filling and satisfying food.

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. - 17269
