Foods Low in Carbs – Why Are They So Good?

If you answered mostly yes to the “A” and “B” parts of the questionnaire, according to Atkins, you have a condition that is the common denominator among nearly all overweight people. It is called hyperinsulinism. If you answered yes to mostly the “C” portion, hyperinsulinism may also your problem.

People who suffer from hyperinsulinism feel hungry all the time and yet when they eat the high carb food they crave, they feel better for only a short time. When you change to a low carb/high protein diet you will find that your appetite decreases and you stay full longer.

What is hyperinsulinism – Hyperinsulinism is the condition that results from too much insulin being produced by your body. Foods rich in carbohydrates – especially sugar, honey, milk and fruit, contain simple sugars, and refined carbohydrates such as flour, white rice and potato starch – are readily absorbed through the stomach, so they quickly convert to glucose (sugar). When these foods are eaten in excess, they require a lot of insulin to process. Foods made of protein and fat require little or no insulin.

This is pretty much the basis of the whole low carb theory. Once you begin to control the insulin being produced by your body, the hunger goes away and your body burn the calories much more efficiently and you lose weight. I can tell once I started eating less carbs and more protein, my appetite did decrease event though I was still eating some fruit and using sugar in a few things like coffee.
