"No carbs may be no good, say health experts"
"...experts warn that such diet may not necessarily be a good thing, and that there are health risks involved in going to the extreme"
"High on meat? Experts give the lowdown"
"While health experts acknowledge that cutting down on carbs can help to shed pounds, they caution against forgoing carbs altogether, or consuming too much protein."
"High-protein diets are also usually high-fat and sacrifice carbohydrates and vitamins, which are important for a balanced diet."
"Prolonged and excessive negative energy intake is technically a state of 'malnutrition' and can cause our health to deteriorate over time."
In fact we had learn this through the Live With Dr.Chen - a health seminar by world renowned nutritional immunologist.
Why do people opt for a meat based high-protein diet to lose weight?
Generally people thought insulin is one of the contributing factors of obesity while carbohydrates stimulate insulin secretion. So people now try to eat less or avoid carbs at all.
No doubt research has shown that carbohydrates intake stimulates insulin secretion, but the research findings did not point out that animal protein in the diet can cause even more insulin to be secreted.
In other words, a meat based diet stimulates the secretion of insulin to a greater degree than carbohydrates do.
When adequate amount of carbohydrates are consumed, the human body naturally converts carbohydrates into energy to meet the body's needs. But when only meat is eaten, the body does not get enough carbohydrates so it converts fats into meat into energy.
Do you know that this metabolic process will produces ketones?
Ketones are acidic by-products that create an acidic environment in our body.
We will less likely to feel hungry when our body becomes acidic. This result in reduced food intake and consequently, weight loss.
Unfortunately, the acidic environment is conducive for the formation and reproduction of cancer cells, in other words it actually increasing one's cancer risk.
Moreover, to correct the pH imbalance, our body will leach calcium from bones, causing calcium loss and increasing the risk of osteoporosis.

Well, do you think is it worth to shed few pounds but end up with osteoporosis, cardiovascular diseases or even Cancer?
Afterall, the intention we want to lose weight is for a better health isn't it? So it is important don't get the nutrition misconception from various media.
So what is the best way to lose weight in healthy way?
--> Control one's diet and exercise.
Diet wise, reducing intake of high-calorie foods and increasing the intake of dietary fiber.
For me, it is easier to help my husband bring down his weight through diet, as hardly find time for exercise.
I am glad that my husband managed to lose about 7 kgs through a convenience and safe option called - I Shape.
http://nutritionalimmunologylifestyle.blogspot.sg/2014/07/how-does-nutritional-immunology_30.html
Why convenience? Basically we need at least 40grams of fiber per day, but do we have the time and the appetite to eat 8 or 9 cups of broccoli per day to make up the fiber amount we need?
So one I-Shape is easier and convenient to safeguard our body with adequate amount of fiber - both soluble and insoluble.
1-Shape is high in grain fiber, low in calories and has no cholesterol which is best for those with high blood pressure and cholesterol levels. The ingredients include Soy, Psyllium Husk and American Ginseng.
And why Safe?
My company has been awarded Food Safety Excellent Award by AVA for 10 consecutive years. This year EE is awarded with Silver Award.
Weight management through diet is always easier compare to exercise, as long as you don't go for unhealthy way i.e. all sorts of supplement product or drug.
