Effects of a low carbohydrate diet on energy expenditure during weight-loss maintenance: a randomized trial (2018)
Final paper Effects of a low carbohydrate diet on energy expenditure during weight-loss maintenance: a randomized trial (2018) Biological and genetic factors influence human body weight. Müller et al. (2016) say,” Weight loss and weight gain are associated with declines and increases in energy expenditure, which mainly follow changes in the metabolically active component of the body.”1 Since 1970, the United States has recorded an increased number of obesity cases due to glycemic load-food consumption. The effects on body weight result from an imbalance between energy intake and energy expenditure. For instance, When an individual’s total energy expenditure exceeds the energy intake, he/she losses weight. Besides, carbohydrates’ consumption increases the blood sugar level and insulin, which then converts glucose into fat, increasing body weight. On the other hand, reducing carbohydrate consumption results in weight loss. During weight loss maintenance, individuals’ diets play a vital role. As such, Ebbeling CB, Feldman HA, Klein GL, Wong JM, Bielak L, Steltz SK, Luoto PK, Wolfe RR, Wong WW, Ludwig DS carried out research to assess the effects of dietary compositions with…
