A lot of people have jumped on the low carb locomotive throwing around a lot of bull dung in the process. Why must you follow a low carb diet? One theory is that the modern-day diet has become overrun with carbs. When you eat too many carbs, your body believes that your sugar levels are extremely elevated. Insulin is released from your pancreas in order to store sugar as glycogen. 

It stores the sugar in the liver and muscle cells for extra energy in case of emergencies. Your body can only store so much glycogen at once. When your body reaches its limit for glycogen storage, the excess carbs are stored in your body as fat. This is the reason we see more chubby people in countries that have vastly increased its carb intake. 

Those that become insulin resistant gain more weight. They become fatter with less effort and as they become more fatigued and suffer poor memory and mental lethargy, they are less able to exercise to increase their metabolic rate. This leads to a vicious cycle of obesity and a sedentary lifestyle. Hypoglycemia, intestinal bloating, depression and a general malaise will often be the result of this lifestyle. This all happens long before illness takes hold.

According to the Atkins Research Institute, the ketosis state will also affect insulin production and it will prevent more fat from being formed. It is important for metabolic increase to eat six small meals throughout the day. Your body will begin using your stored fat as an efficient form of fuel, and you'll shrink your fat cells. The other great side effect will be a drastic reduction in your desire to consume carbs.

While you do this you are going to begin to increase your activity level to match your increased metabolic rate. You won't need to exercise just yet; just increase your activity level with a 30 minute daily walk.
