What Really Happens To Your Body When You Stop Eating Carbs

Fad diets come and go, but it seems that cutting carbs is a staple of many of them. In fact, the idea of cutting out carbs dates back more than 100 years, but just how well does it work?

There will definitely be weight loss if you stop eating pasta, sugar, and bread, but some will tell you it’s just water weight. In addition, a no-carb or low-carb diet can lead to general exhaustion and even bad breath, so it definitely has its critics. Let's take a look at what really happens to your body when you stop eating carbs.

Are you on a no-carb diet? Are you willing to try a no-carb diet?

Meat, fish, eggs, olive oil, butter, green veg & salad + exercise + 3hrs reading + no carbs or sugar = better mental & physical health.

I don’t do diets, I made a lifestyle change. Also, you get plenty of carbs from fruits and vegetables...enough to sustain you just fine. I have lost 25 lbs in 2 months and will never go back to eating bread, pasta, white potatoes, rice, any grains, or sugar (other than what’s in the fruit). There is no need. I don’t weigh my food or count carbs or calories or do the keto thing. I just eat simply; only protein, veggies, fruits, berries, nuts and a little cheese (you can get creative with it). If I’m hungry, I eat. When I’m satisfied, I stop. When you over complicate your food, it gets overwhelming and is always going to be temporary.
Keep food simple. Workout often.

Truth is... Even oranges, apples, and some other fruit have carbs... Bingo! Natural>Refined

I had done it and it works on me!
Many of my health problems gradually go away and I feel my self younger than before.
That's the choice..respect others choices as well! :)

As Asian, I cut rice completely and limited on salt. I Lost weight but this is not going to last long as rice is in our blood LOL

I'm on a low carb diet. Not a no-carb diet just a low carb diet. It is really working for me. Really flattened my belly. It was really tough at first and you'll feel lethargic but after awhile you normalise and the body breaks down body fat for energy instead of needing a steady intake of carbs. It's been 2 years now and It's always kept me at my optimum weight level.

I never understood why losing water weight is said like it’s a bad thing. When you feel lighter, you do bettter

[Alesandros]

Done a keto diet for a month, already pretty lean but lost a few pounds overall, got more defined and still increased my weightlifting.
I did experience some constipation the first 2 weeks or so, but that went away, and my hunger is down alot, so i don't have hunger based on cravings, but on when i actually need to eat.
I don't see why so many push back on the idea, most low carb diets are success stories because they don't involve starving yourself, and don't impact your mental ability.

People don't get it it's not the carbs that's making people fat it's the kinds of carbs. The amount of carbs and the mixture of high fat and a high carbohydrate diet. Many people who have carbs in their diet also consume high fat.

low carb diet does work, I've lost a lot of weight in the past doing this, you have to exercise ofc..

I stopped eating bread, pasta, potatoes and rice for two weeks now. I eat vegetables and meat and full fat yoghurt and one fruit a day (I cut out bananas too) and I found that I don't crave for carbs anymore. I steamed bread yesterday thinking I'd enjoy it the same way I did before I started the low carb diet and I was surprised that I didn't really enjoy it. I'd make steam bread and eat so much of it. But yesterday I just had 2 slices and I was okay. It feels like when I was on a high carb diet, the taste of carbs was exaggerated in my tongue or something. I don't know wht happened but all I know is that it didn't taste the same. And I can live without it.

Edit: I cut out sugary drinks as well. I mainly drink coffee and water. I've seen my Fupa (fat upper public area) go down drastically. It is not a quick fix. It is a change in life style. We were raised on high carb diets because carbs are cheaper. But we have to change the status quo for our children and undo what was done.

Low carb doesn't mean cutting out all carbs. Just the bad carbs like all grains, oatmeal, bread, pasta, pizza, sugar, potato chips etc. Eating vegetable carbs is always a good thing. Unless you are a pro athlete you don't need to eat carbs (like the ones above) ever. Most people never utilize that stored energy. You can body build while in ketosis, you can't necessarily be a powerlifter in ketosis. There's two separate needs to the muscles there.

Contrary to what this video suggests, I would never discuss my diet with an MD, as they have ZERO education in nutrition, according to the AMA. Diet and nutrition are not covered in medical education beyond showing everybody the FDA's latest food pyramid, plate or whatever the new graph is. I would consult a nutritionist or simply try out various dietary regimes, based on good science and the experience of people I trust. That's why I am not a vegetarian or vegan - tried that for 6 months and became ill. I am on the AutoImmune Protocol, which is an offshoot of Paleo and after 2 years and counting, my health has steadily improved. No grains, legumes, bananas or nuts for me - I discovered my body cannot tolerate them and responds with bloat, pain, insomnia, depression and blood sugar swings. Educate yourself about how your own body responds to various foods and expand on that. Eat unprocessed foods, get some exercise and sufficient rest. Your body will let you know.

I like how The List presents easy to digest info from RELIABLE studies or people, not just from quack sources or fake news... GOOD JOB!!

[Kerath]

Keto - the only right way they don't want you to know about.

[._life]

Oatmeal, fruits, vegetables, and rice, good source of fat burning carbs. I eat them all the time to stay fit

[LIAHEDWARDSKOBE]

This video was cool I just could do without the annoying ass clips

[charlesvillanueva]

This is hard to do, growing up in an Asian culture where you were surrounded with a lot of rice and noodles. You crave for those food once you feel like it and no one is even stopping you. I guess self discipline and maybe limit carbs is the ideal and just work it out when you felt like u over eat
