Which is more effective?

Question

I’m trying to focus on my eating this year, last year my focus was put in the gym and I maintained my weight. However, I’ve done low carb before and saw results it’s just hard to stick to so I’m trying to find out which is more effective for me. What do y’all think?!

Answer

Whole foods. Carbs are your friend, they are your bodies primary source of fuel, and a lot of the cells in your body (most cells in your brain for example) can only use glucose as a source. 
Balance is all you need to focus on. You need fats, you need carbs, you need protein, fibre, water and all your other micronutrients. Just look at plant based variety, and you are guaranteed to see results, and feel amazing.

Answer

A combination of both.

Answer

More effective for what? For maintenance or losing? It all comes down to calories in the end.  If you want to change your body(like building muscle or increasing endurance), exercise will be more important.

Answer

Our brain doesnt get the message that we are full until 20 min after we ate I try to keep gluten out bc I seem to eat less of the carb and portion control is a big thing..n eating slower I also take green supplements like spirulina n wheatgrass.Spirulina is a dark green superfood which helps curb sugar cravings and it contains a protein comparable to eggs so helps us to stay feeling full.A digestive enzyme is also recommended if u eat anything cooked

Answer

Definitely cut carbs. That's way more effective. Yes your body uses them as fuel if you have them, but if you cut them out completely and switch to like a ketogenic diet then your body enters into ketosis and instead of running off of the carbs for fuel itll run off of fat. That's why keto works so well for people. But yes it's very hard to maintain! So if you cant maintain it then don't do it because you want to stay in ketosis for a while and if you eat a few carbs here and there your body will switch out of ketosis and back to using carbs and it won't be effective

Answer

Apparently intermittent fasting.

Answer

I think if loa carb was hard... maybe try portion control. Ultimately whatever u can do that allows u to exercise and eat healthy overall.

Answer

Thy the 8 hour eating frame and then fasting for 16.
I lost 6 pounds in two ✌️ weeks without changing my diet and all around the holidays.

Answer

Combination of both.
I cut carbs for 3 weeks and lost 8 pounds and didn’t even exercise or do portion control. If I had done both along with exercise, I’m sure I would’ve lost a lot more and gained muscle. I just love carbs so much. 😭
