Can people lose weight by not eating Carbohydrate?

Can people lose weight by not eating Carbohydrate?


Nowadays, weight is just a number that you can control and there are many ways to control it – exercise, stop or control your food or etc. In exercise case, it is fundamental way which everyone can do it. Most men do this way by playing sports or running around backyard but this way will make them become exhausted and some women don’t like this way. My sister doesn’t like exercise too. I and my sister are interesting in Food control. We think that it will be easier than exercise but which kind of food we have to control?


            In general, we divide food into 5 groups; Meat, Rice, Vegetable, Fruit and Oil. Each one can give energy to eater but we don’t know which one has most energy. Therefore, we will use a standard of Biochemistry (Nutrients) that is divided by chemical structure. In Biochemistry, they divide into 3 groups; protein, carbohydrate and lipid. Protein is found in meat. Carbohydrate is found in rice and bread. Lipid is found in oil and fat.

            Why we choose carbohydrate as a variable in this experiment? Because carbohydrate is the first kind of nutrients that our body use to produce energy. If there is no carbohydrate, the body will use lipid as secondary energy and the reason that human use carbohydrate as first energy because carbohydrate molecules chains can break easy. So I think that I has to make some experiment to prove that people can lose weight by not eating carbohydrate.



            Let’s do the experiment!







The experiment

            From online information, the populardiet plans is fad diet. What is fad diet? – It’s a weight loss plan which eliminates one or more nutrients. These diet plans aren’t good for long-term weight loss but the result can be shown in 2 weeks. So we will use fad diet plan as a guideline for our experiment.


            At starting point, my sister weight is 57 kg. She thought that her weight is getting out of control. She started the fad diet by making her food plans. Her breakfast plan is about heavy meal without rice. – Ex. Salad with boiled egg, Miang Kam or Steak. The reason that breakfast has to be heavy meal because of human body metabolism. If our body out of carbohydrate, we will feel hungry. So if we eat heavy meal which is difficult to digest, we will be slowly hungry. Her lunch plan is about her favorite meal without carbohydrate and her dinner plan is about fruit and soy milk. I think that it’s hard for everyone to deny rice and bread.



Before and after two diet weeks.


            After two diet weeks, her weight is 48 kg. She looks sickly. Her arms and legs are too skinny. She told me that “During two weeks, she was always hungry. She felt very bad and didn’t want to do this fad diet again.” After I heard this story, I think that I will not suggest this fad diet way to others because of side effects.

Conclusion

            It’s true that people can lose weight by not eating carbohydrate and it is the fastest way to losing weight but there are side effects too. The side effects are that you will always be hungry and your body will be skinny. Each effect has same reason and the reason is lack of carbohydrate. So I think that the best healthy way to lose weight is just eat with balance and exercise.
