A slow diet increases the body's ability to burn fat

Many resort to trying many different diets to lose weight, including the Slow Carb diet.

And the German magazine "Freuden" reported that this diet depends on reducing the intake of carbohydrates while giving up sweets, which increases the body's ability to burn fat without counting calories.

In contrast to a low-carb diet, the focus here is on “slow carbs,” which hold a lot of water in the stomach, so one feels full for longer.

The following are the most important concepts on which the slow carb diet depends.

Avoid white carbohydrates

Carbohydrates derived from white flour are taboo in the slow-carb diet, such as white bread, pasta made from wheat flour, white rice, baked goods, and fried foods. Chickpeas, beans and vegetables are an ideal source of carbohydrates.

Frequency of meals

Having a lot of food choices quickly leads to deviation from the diet followed, so it is better to focus on a small group of foods and repeat them in meals. Eat a large amount of the first three food groups until full, and eat fats and spices in moderation.

give up drinks

High-calorie drinks such as fruit juices, colas and soda provide hardly any nutritional value, but they do provide the body with a lot of unnecessary calories, and the German magazine advised to focus on drinking water, coffee and unsweetened tea.

stay away from fruit

Although fruit is a healthy food, because it contains a lot of vitamins and fiber, it is one of the prohibited nutrients in a slow carbohydrate diet, due to the high content of fructose, which prevents burning fat, and instead you can eat tomatoes or Avocados as snacks.
