Before you post a reply saying that you are overweight or that you want to lose weight, please first check our Weight Calculator . If the calculator says that you are healthy weight, please do not post a message saying that you are overweight or that you want to lose weight. This offends the kids who really are overweight. Thanks a lot. |
Message Replying To From Mikayla, Age 15 Ht. 5'4, Wt. Too much - Don't do low carb diets!!! Nutrition experts say that the following are consequences: Following this type of diet means that your body will also be lacking fibre and antioxidants. A diet too high in protein can also adversely affect your bone strength and place strain on your kidneys. Ketosis is another possible side-effect of following this diet. If your carbohydrate intake is so low that the glucose needs of your brain are not met, your body will burn fat incompletely to produce a substance called ketone, which is a substitute brain fuel. This may cause light-headedness, nausea and bad breath. They say eating carbs, but not a lot, is best for weight loss. Like fruits, wheat breads and veggies are good, cake and loads and loads of pasta is bad. |
