Nepali people regularly eat rice, roti, potatoes etc. All of these are rich in carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are highest from breakfast to lunch and dinner. Carbohydrates are essential nutrients for the body.
The body converts it into glucose or blood sugar. This gives the body energy to work. Some people stop consuming carbohydrates to lose weight.
Therefore, today we are going to inform you about the effects of carbohydrates on the body if we do not touch them.
Weight loss
If there is a sudden lack of carbohydrates in the body, the weight will also decrease. Reducing carbohydrates depletes glycogen storage in muscles. It retains water in the body. Reducing carbohydrates also reduces sodium and salt in the body. Because of this, water also goes out from the body. As soon as you start eating carbohydrates, water weight also starts to increase immediately.
keto flu
Eating less carbohydrates puts the body into a state of ketosis. Due to this, problems such as weakness, fatigue, dizziness and headache begin to occur. Due to this, symptoms like stomach pain, nausea and vomiting are seen.
Brain fog
As the body tries to keep blood sugar levels normal, it can cause blurred vision. Sometimes there may be problems in sleeping. Therefore, fatigue and brain fog can also be a problem. Foods that are low in carbohydrates are also low in fiber.
Due to this, constipation can occur or the gas formed in the stomach can damage the digestive system. The stomach may feel bloated or painful. If you drink plenty of water and get enough electrolytes, the problems may not last long.
Bad breath
When the body starts running on fatty acids instead of carbohydrates, it starts exhaling ketones in the form of acetone through the breath. This can cause bad breath. Some people say that bad breath tastes like rotten apples. In addition, even if the mouth is dry, bad breath can come from the breath. This happens because the mouth does not have saliva to fight bacteria. So always drink enough water.
Low blood sugar levels
A low-carb diet can cause low blood sugar levels. People with diabetes may benefit from this. But completely reducing carbohydrate intake can lead to hypoglycemia.
This happens when the blood sugar level is too low. For this, include at least 15 grams of carbohydrates in your daily meals. If you have diabetes, check your blood sugar from time to time.
