It is worth remembering that this substance is not the villain of those who appreciate the healthy side
Carbohydrates are made up of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen (CH2O) and are recognized as the main source of energy for maintaining essential body functions, such as daily activities and exercise. However, there are doubts about its consumption, for example: how many daily grams of carbohydrates are needed to lose weight?
View the daily grams of carbohydrates needed to lose weight
“The amount of carbohydrates in a standard diet is approximately 60% of daily kcal. However, we can reduce these carbohydrates to facilitate weight loss since by reducing the consumption of carbohydrates we favor the consumption of other energy substrates including fats” , he states in an exclusive interview with Sport Life on nutritionist Dr. Roger Bongestab.
Likewise, Dr Roger points out that the ideal is to consume 130g of carbohydrates to stimulate fat burning and that intake becomes dangerous when this amount is exceeded.
“More than 130 g of carbohydrates are dangerous because then you end up consuming more ingested carbohydrates and not accumulated fats. Less than 100 g of carbohydrates there is the risk that the patient suffers a decline in neurological performance. Therefore they also end up with disorders such as memory loss, difficulty concentrating, irritability, headaches and even fainting may occur,” advises Bongestab.
Consequently, what is recommended is the consumption of complex carbohydrates, which take longer to digest. The reason is that simple carbohydrates are absorbed quickly, increasing glucose and with its surplus in the body nothing is lost or created.
“Sweet potatoes, cassava, sweet potatoes and fruits can be consumed, but in their entirety with the peel, since the peels contain fiber and fiber slows the rate of absorption. Therefore, the glycemic index decreases with consumption of fibre”, adds the nutritionist.
How does the body react to excess and lack of protein?
Besides carbohydrate consumption, what do you need to balance to lose weight?
“In order for the patient to lose weight, in addition to the reduction of calories, which are not just carbohydrates, the reduction of general calories is also necessary. We can and must always consider the practice of physical activity so that we can accelerate the beta oxidation of fat, which is nothing else, in quotes, than burning fat. This metabolic process is stimulated through aerobic physical exercise, which has the ability to increase breathing, but also to guarantee the oxygenation of the muscles”, he specifies.
How long does it take for a subject to feel the effects of this proposal?
“Look, the benefits appear within a few days. A patient begins to lose accumulated excess fluid, due to the inflammation brought by obesity and being overweight, and soon after the loss of excess fat. This will also vary depending on depending on whether you are a man or a woman, age, additional medical conditions, hypothyroidism, diabetes and quality of training”, concludes Dr. Roger Bongestab.
