Researchers have found an effective diet.
Researchers from Venezuela have found a solution for overweight people that wants to have a permanent weight reduction.
The diet starts the day with a big, well composed bereakfast with carbohydrates, proteins and fat. The rest of the day you should eat small meals with very little carbohydrates.
If a diet shall be effective over longer periods of time, it has to give a good feeling of not being hungry at the same time as it set a stop for your sugar cravings. The researchers tell us they have found such a method or diet now.
The researchers had 94 overweight women with little activities on their schedule on two different diets. 46 of the participants should follow a traditional diet almost without any carbohydrates at all. The daily ration allowed for 1085 calories, and allowed for only 17 grams of carbohydrates, like from bread, fruit, breakfast mixes or milk. In addition the women could eat 51 grams of proteins and 78 grams of fat pr day. The breakfast consisted of around 290 calories and was the smallest meal of the day.
The other group could eat 1240 calories a day, with 46 grams of fat, 93 grams of proteins and as much as 97 grams of carbohydrates. More than half of the carbohydrates would be in the breakfast.
The trial went on for 8 months, where in the first 4 months the participants focused on weight loss. The last 4 months the women should focus on not gaining any weight.
At halfway time, the women in the low carbohydrate diet had lost almost 13 kilos, as the ladies in the big breakfast diet had lost almost 11 kilos. But after the second half of the race had gone it was pretty clear who the winners were and were the wieghtloss was most effective.
The women in the low carbohydrate diet group had gained in average over 8 kilos, while the women in the big breakfast group had continued to loose weight and had actually lost over 7 kilos more.
They had all together lost around 21 percent of their body weight, while the other group had only lost around 4.5 percent.
