Satisfactory Essays

Adkins and other low-carb plans work simply by limiting carbohydrates from the diet. In place of the carbohydrates removed from the diet, protein is increased. What happens after digestion is the interesting part. Over a short period of time, Triglycerides are reduced and High-Density Lipoprotein, or HDL (the good cholesterol) increases which is excellent for those with Hypertension and of heart/blood-related issues. Blood pressure and blood sugar levels will also decrease and stabilize which proves effective in reversing Type II Diabetes. Insulin levels are also lowered on low-carb plans. Insulin works by signaling the body to go into lypogenesis, or sugar burning, fat producing mode and also to prevent the body from burning fat, or lypolysis.
