If I use Herbal Lite and go on the low-carbo diet, will I lose weight twice as fast?
In the very short run you may lose a few extra pounds this way, but read on! The low-carbohydrate craze has led many people to believe that carbohydrates are the primary source of weight gain. This idea is reinforced when people stop the strict diet, start eating carbohydrates (carbs) again, and gain back all of their weight, plus more! What really happens is that the body becomes starved of glycogen, the main source of fuel for the muscles and brain. This forces the body both to hold on to the carbs that come in, and use protein as the primary fuel source. This protein breakdown, known as ketosis, is hard on the kidneys and is a cause of bad breath. Since the body was starved of carbs (any vegetables, fruits, cereals, breads, etc.), once they are resumed, the body will over-store this vital fuel source. This leads once again to excess weight gain. Herbal Lite will help you to lose weight, keep it off and still allow you to maintain a sensible, balanced diet without starving your body
