Everything about Low Carb diet- Complete Detail

Thread 👇 (1/7)

🔵 Low Carb or Therapeutic Carbohydrate Restriction is a type of Diet in which Carbohydrates are kept below a certain threshold.

🔵 The RDA for Carbohydrates in healthy adults is 130gms per day, so anything less than that is considered a Low carb diet as per the guidelines.

🔵 But depending on

☑️ Metabolic health
☑️ Physical activity
☑️ Individual Goals
☑️ Genetics etc.

this threshold varies from person to person.

🔵 There are variation's to the Low Carb diet based on the this threshold.

🔵 Generally, less than 20 gms Carbs is the standard Keto diet.

🔵 20-50 gms carbs per day is considered Very low Carb diet & 50- 100 gms carbs per day can be described as Low Carb.

🔵 These are NOT concrete numbers & not something to be overly focussed on.

🔵 Depending on the condition & your goals, you need to find your personal threshold & might require readjusting time to time (might require a practitioners help with this)

▶️ History of Low Carb

👉 𝟏𝟖𝟔𝟎'𝐬 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐚𝐦 𝐁𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬- One of the earliest known advocates of a Low Carb diet was William Banting, who published "Letter on Corpulence, Addressed to the Public" in 1863. Banting's diet plan emphasized reducing sugar and starchy foods, which helped him lose a significant amount of weight.

👉 𝟏𝟗𝟐𝟏 𝐃𝐫 𝐑𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐥 𝐖𝐢𝐥𝐝𝐞𝐫 - The ketogenic diet was first developed in the 1920s by Dr. Russell Wilder at the Mayo Clinic as a treatment for childhood epilepsy. Dr. Wilder coined the term "ketogenic diet," which aimed to mimic the metabolic effects of fasting by inducing a state of ketosis.

🔵 Vegetable Oils are oils that are of plant origin.

🔵 Seed oils are a type of vegetable oil, but not the only kind.

Common Blood tests & Optimal ranges (not just normal)

▶️ HBA1C < 5.2
▶️ Fasting Insulin < 5
▶️ Homocysteine < 8
▶️ Hs-CRP < 1
▶️ Vitamin D > 60
▶️ Vitamin B12 > 600
▶️ Vitamin B9 > 15
▶️ TSH 1-2
▶️ Total cholesterol 200+
▶️ HDL > 50 (Men), > 60 (Women)
▶️ Triglycerides< 100
▶️ Tg/HDL < 1.5
▶️ Hemoglobin> 14 (Men), > 13 (Women)
▶️ Ferritin < 40-90
▶️ Total testosterone (Men) > 600
▶️ Free testosterone > 15
▶️ Creatinine < 1
▶️ Uric acid < 5.5

These represent the ideal ranges for these key parameters according to functional medicine (different practitioners may view differently)

Ofcourse these are much more stringent criteria than what is conventionally considered "Normal".

It is not huge concern if you don't fall within these ranges (in some cases it is), but always try to aim for optimal values than simply being in the Normal range. @AltMenM

Beyond the tags of Vegetarian- Non vegetarian, North Indian- South Indian food etc, what we consume is more or less the same.

Let's have a look at the Standard Indian diet What makes up the bulk of our diet is Grains.

Only the preference of Grains vary from region to region.

Rice is preferred in South & East, whereas Wheat is preferred in North & West.

Our meal is planned with grains at the center.

It's Rice + Curry, Roti + Curry...

// THREAD // 🔴 Fasting in simple words is not Eating or Drinking for a period of time

🔴 Intermittent fasting is type of Fasting routine in which you are Not eating for certain hours in a day or week

🔴 The Period which you don't eat or drink is called the Fasting window

Fellow Indians,

🔴 Most of you are not eating enough protein. You need atleast 1.2 gms/BW protein & you are not getting that.

🔴 Legit sources of Protein (considering all aspects) are

✅ Meat
✅ Fish
✅ Eggs
✅ Chicken
✅ Paneer
✅ Cheese
✅ Greek Yoghurt (> than Dahi)
✅ Whey

🔴 Dal, Rajma, Moong etc can only be counted as secondary sources of Protein. They aren't good enough.

🔴 Soy will mess up your already messed up health even further. A chance you can't take

🔴 Seed Oils/ Refined are toxic af!

🔴 Every time you reheat them (or any oil) you are walking towards disease.

🔴 Saving some money on Oil will bite you back later.

🔴 Use Ghee, Coconut oil, Butter

🔴 Mustard, Groundnut, Sesame oils are not great either. Maybe not as bad as Refined oils. Use sparingly if you wish to.

🔴 You are eating too much Carbs

🔴 Grains mainly. Rice, Wheat, Millets... Sugar too.

🔴 That is why you are getting Diabetic & other Metabolic issues.

🔴 Be proud about your culture & diet all you want, but your food (Idli, Dosa, Poha, Luchi, Kachori, Dhokla....) is not suitable for the modern times. Most of you do zero physical activity & this food is not for that.

🔴 Substituting one type of grain with another won't do anything for you.

🔴 Excess Grains is why you are constantly bloated, farting, acidic etc. That is not normal.

🔴 Most of you including people in 20s have Hyperinsulinemia. Get Fasting/PP Insulin tested.

🔴 Most of you are Vitamin D deficient. You need to Supplement.

🔴 Most of you, especially Vegetarians are deficient in Vitamin B12.

🔴 Do these tests periodically to assess your health

✅ HbA1C
✅ Fasting/PP Glucose
✅ Fasting/PP Insulin
✅ Lipid Profile
✅ Hs-CRP
✅ LFT
✅ KFT
✅ Vitamin D
✅ Vitamin B12
✅ Homocysteine

And you will know the reality.

🔴 Barely getting above the Lab ranges is not enough!

🔴 Just because you don't look Fat visibly, doesnt mean you don't have any issues. Let blood reports speak.

🔴 Indians are mostly Skinny fat, we have low Muscle mass because of low Protein consumption.

🔴 Stop eating Sugar. Whether you are young or old, diabetic or not.. sugar is not good for you.

🔴 Fruits are not something great as it's made out to be. Natural sugar is still sugar. Same with jaggery & honey. Not meant for people with Metabolic issues.

🔴 Carbs need to be under control.

🔴 Leafy greens are not very nutritious either.

🔴 You need to worried about your Triglyceride levels.

🔴 Many of you are walking into a Fatty liver at a very young age.

🔴 Eating Processed food on top of a naturally carb heavy diet is not serving you well.

🔴 Kids will suffer the most. Childhood obesity, diabetes, fatty liver etc are on the rise.

🔴 Stop looking for magic workouts & herbs to solve your issues. Those doesn't work.

🔴 Protein doesn't damage the kidneys!

🔴 Protein doesn't elevate Uric acid!

🔴 Protein doesn't cause Indigestion!

🔴 Whey is not Steroids!

🔴 Protein is not just for bodybuilders.

🔴 Resistance training is a must, for men & women. Otherwise you'll succumb to Sarcopenia & have a miserable ending. That's not part of Ageing, that is part of your crappy living.

🔴 Diabetes is not Genetic, you & your parents are eating same kind of crap then what do you expect?

🔴 Men are having erectile Dysfunction (no need to hide)

🔴 Women are infertile from PCOS

🔴 Being a Fat aunty with big arms & a skinny uncle with pot belly is pathetic.

🔴 Eggs in the market are Unfertilized, meaning no chick will hatch. It's Vegetarian.

🔴 Eating multiple meals a day will worsen your Hyperinsulinemia & Insulin resistance.

🔴 Dark skin on neck, skin tags etc are classic signs of Insulin resistance. Do blood tests as recommended.

🔴 Many people are trying to take advantage of your nutritional illiteracy & made a business out of it. Don't fall for RDs, LDs, CBs...

🔴 Most of you are one hospital bill away from being broke. Take care of your health. Don't cheap out on that.

Thank you! A RT will be appreciated!
