Premature death with diets low in carbohydrates

Premature death with diets low in carbohydrates

Diets low in carbohydrates increase the likelihood of premature death, as much as 30 percent, according to an Australian study that reviewed 18 studies on high-protein diets in the long term.

In the short term, a year, a diet low in carbohydrates and high in protein gives some advantages, but in the long term, these diets cause 30 percent more likely to die.

In Japan, a country where people have one of the longest life expectancies in the world, 60 percent of the diet comes from carbohydrates.

The researcher Hiroshi Noto in a research published in the journal Plos One had already found that a diet low in carbohydrates has led to live 0.27 years of life in less in 10 years.

Other studies have found that a 'supply, based on limited consumption of carbohydrates, prevents to consume fats and sugars "stored" in adipose tissue as energy.

So eliminate carbohydrates to lose weight is not used to a decrease in long-term weight, because the subcutaneous fat, body fat, does not change, while it is only less muscle tone.
