There are so many negatives and positives about different diets and I will quickly state them. If you are venturing on a body recomposition diet, no matter the name, it will include one of the diets listed below.
High protein diet:
The Bad:
Protein and fat go together like peas and carrots, where you find protein fat will not be too far behind, typically it’s saturated fat. This means it will favor an inflammatory response since saturated fats are converted into a hormone known as PGE2, which signals inflammation in the joints. A diet such as this with arthritis would be detrimental. Also, excessive protein intake can lead to acidic environment for the blood. This means the organic chemicals in the blood might start to coagulate and stack on top of one other as red blood cells do to protect themselves from the acidic environment. You may also encounter mild osteoporosis as your bones give away calcium in order to buffer the blood.
The Good:
Typically people, who go on a high protein diet, are consuming protein in large quantities, while neglecting carbohydrate. Since carbohydrates are typically not found in natural protein sources. This means your body will rid around 5-25 pounds in 1-2 weeks. This mainly is water weight. Since carbohydrates need water to be stored, as you cut them out they will take the water with them. What is also good is, this high protein diet, counts as a low carbohydrate diet. So, if you are exercising, you will be able to shed adipose tissue (fat) a lot faster. Although, the workouts will be much harder to get through, since immediate energy sources (carbohydrates) are low. Since we have cut carbohydrates out, this means sugars also. This means no more ‘sugar addiction’. Let’s not forget to count out that protein is very filling, as with fat it is also digested more slowly than carbohydrates, this leads to a feeling of satiety.
High Carbohydrate Diets:
Believe it or not there are some diets that are aimed at increasing carbohydrate intake. Although, it’s not the deserters dream in this case.
The Good:
A high carbohydrate diet will be aimed at increasing slow releasing carbohydrate sources. These include, vegetables, whole grains, and oats. This can lower many risk factors for diabetes. Vegetable fibers have been shown to reduce insulin resistance as well as improve insulin sensitivity; meaning less insulin is required for the carbohydrate to be utilized. These are highly dense in minerals as well; you can count fruits as nature’s vitamin source and vegetables as the mineral source. According to Carol Simontacchi M.S, It can also improve the ratio of estrogen to progesterone, which can reduce emotional symptoms and unwanted weight gain. As far as weight loss is concerned, protein and fats are going to be substantially lowered, which is a bonus in a health perspective. You will have lowered your risk for coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, angina, many illnesses associated with blood pressure. Since fat counts 9 calories per gram, this is a good way to make sure your caloric intake is substantially lowered.
The Bad:
If the diet it too low in calories or protein, most of the weight lost will be from muscle mass, which means a decrease in metabolism. A high carbohydrate diet also possessed some nutritional problems such as low B12 , which are commonly found in protein sources. A low protein source means low amino acids, and low amino acids mean low production of neurotransmitters, which are created from amino acids, to name one, serotonin, is created from tryptophan, this neurotransmitter is responsible for keeping you uplifted and in a good mood.
While a low fat diet is good, it’s only good for a short time. We need fat for a multitude of body functions. Without fat our nervous system may react slowly, considering myelin sheath is created from fats. Dry skin, lower immune function, fatigue, and depression can all be encountered if on a low fat diet for too long.
In any diet where one organic chemical is projected to be lowered, there will typically be in increase in the other two. In a low carbohydrate diet, you will be increasing protein and fat. In a Low fat diet, you will be increasing carbohydrates and protein. In a low protein diet, you will be increasing carbohydrates and fat. To be honest, the body needs just about every organic chemical. Protein we need to build a solid muscular system and a healthy cognitive function. Fat is needed to store energy, keep our nervous system at top notch, create hormones, and optimize the connection between the brain and the body. Carbohydrates are needed for quick energy production and to counter balance amino acids from dominating our blood and fat from being metabolized quickly, which can lead to ketone acidosis.
