Low Carb works better for weight loss that Low Fat does!Hi Jo.
Oh yey! I thought I was going to have to forgo cheese. It does seem weird to have butter and cream and full fat stuff. I'd gone to low fat foods thinking it would help with the weight loss and brown rice, pasta and bread would be better. I'm not a cake eater but did like the odd biscuit or two or three. The advice I'm getting is so helpful. I will definitely get a meter. That makes a lot of sense to me.
I'm sure I'll have more questions and it's great to know I'll get answers from those who've been there. Cheers Jo.
Why? - It's because Carbs digest to glucose causing raised Blood Glucose. The Pancreas then produces Insulin to move the glucose out of the bloodstream into fat cells raising body fat which in turn starts to cause Insulin Resistance. But eating Fat has no noticeable effect on Blood Glucose. So eating Carbs is more likely to make you fat than eating Fats is!
