According to David Ludwig, obesity expert and professor of nutrition TH Chan of Harvard School of Public Health, weight gain begins when a person chooses the wrong foods.
The wrong kind of food that would disrupt hormones and cause the craving cycle (always hungry and want a snack).
In his latest book "Always Hungry?", He argued that the primary cause of the obesity epidemic is not the excess calories, but high glikemiks excess food such as sugar, processed carbohydrates and grains Polished, white.
"A diet low in fat and high in carbohydrates will increase the level of insulin and reprogrammed cells store excess fat calories. Insulin is a fertilizer for fat cells," said Ludwig.
The most effective way to reduce insulin levels is to reduce the intake of processed carbohydrates and protein and fat balance.
Ludwig said the high-fat diet is the fastest way to change metabolism. "If insulin levels are low, then the fat cells become quiet and we are freed from the cycle of hunger, want snacking and overeating," he said.
He also introduced a weight loss program that has three phases. The first phase is to avoid processed carbohydrates, added sugar and grain products for two weeks.
"Carbohydrates are eaten must be in the form of vegetables instead of starch, fruit, and nuts. After two weeks, we start again to consume whole grains, potatoes, except white potatoes, and a little extra sugar. Do this until the weight down," he said.
Weight loss can be achieved in a few weeks or months in people whose weight is very excessive.
Diet program also does not prohibit the intake of saturated fat. According to him when we reduce the processed carbohydrates and insulin levels go down, then the saturated fat we eat more quickly burned.
"Stop thinking about whether saturated fat is good or bad. This diet program is based on whole natural foods, including saturated fat. But it must be balanced between saturated and unsaturated fats like nuts, avocados, olive oil," he said.
