If you’ve tried to lose weight through calorie counting or low-fat foods, and failed, you’re not alone. Many popular diet strategies ignore one key factor: insulin. At Dia Balance, we help patients lose weight and reverse chronic illness by focusing on low-carbohydrate nutrition, because it works.
Let’s explore why low-carb eating is so effective and how you can get started without feeling overwhelmed or restricted.
Why Low-Carb Works for Weight Loss
Carbohydrates, especially refined ones like bread, pasta, sugar, and snacks, spike your blood sugar. This triggers your body to produce more insulin, the hormone responsible for storing fat.
Over time, repeated insulin spikes can lead to insulin resistance, weight gain, fatigue, and even type 2 diabetes.
By reducing your intake of carbs, you lower insulin levels, which allows your body to:
- Burn stored fat for energy
- Reduce inflammation
- Stabilize hunger and cravings
- Improve blood sugar and cholesterol levels
Low-carb diets are not about starvation, they’re about retraining your metabolism to run efficiently.
What Can You Eat on a Low-Carb Diet?
A well-formulated low-carb plan includes:
- Protein: Eggs, chicken, fish, grass-fed meat, tofu
- Healthy fats: Avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil
- Non-starchy vegetables: Broccoli, spinach, zucchini, cauliflower
- Low-glycemic fruits: Berries, lemons, small portions of apples or pears
- Dairy (optional): Full-fat Greek yogurt, cheese, cream
Foods to avoid or limit:
- Sugar and sweetened drinks
- Bread, pasta, rice, and cereal
- Baked goods and snacks
- Most processed foods
