[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 1297667, member: 85785"] They are many and varied, but the underlining cause and effect of intolerance to carbs is they quickly turn to glucose and boost your levels very quickly. Intolerance means more Insulin is produced to offset the spike, if you have insulin resistance the more insulin you need and it builds up in your blood as hyperglycaemia and hyperinsulinaemia. This tends to lead to storage of the more cells that cover your endocrine system, fat cells that are stored and increase visceral fat. The more insulin resistance you become, the more insulin required, the more the body stores fat. It is a lot more scientifically complicated than what I have posted, but once the viscous cycle starts, it's very hard to stop. That is why a low carb higher fat diet works because you stop producing the excess amount of insulin and the lower the carb intake the need for insulin is reduced, the less the body uses carbs for energy, so it starts on the visceral fat, the more fat used, you begin weight loss, which helps with the feeling of more energy, you use more, you feel better, more exercise and the insulin resistance becomes better, you don't need (again) as much insulin. You break the cycle depending on carbs for energy your body uses. The by product of not having to produce more insulin because of less glucose produced by your carb laden meals means that blood glucose levels start reducing down to normal levels. The more time spent around normal levels, the healthier the endocrine system is, which helps with not only your body's health but your mental health. [/QUOTE]
