Rolling arond all day may become my Top Hit-activity in this summer. So,now I try to keep myself busy by finding something to do.

In the international level, I think, the dietary trend is more and more popular. Not only among the people who have to concern strictly about their healty, like the olds, the patients, or the athletes, but also, actually the big group of teenagers.

Some might say something like "Don't you think it's a good sign that people nowaday pay attention more on their health? They want to become strong and healthy. So from now on, we don't have to see doctor as often as we've used to be." I'm quite glad that people focus more on the healthy life style. In Thailand, green tea drink become more famous than soft-drink, the rapid growth of sport clubs and exercise centres in town, and the pop-up of the dietary recipes, are some of the evidences of the change in the life-style trend.

But! Hold on a sec! brother. I'm the one who want to reduce my weight (which increases because of "my top-hit activity" I've mensioned) but in my opinion, I'm not totally agree with the low carb program.

The low carb diets or low carbohydrate diets are both the dietary healthy program and loss weight program. The main concept is to reduce the amount of starch and sugar in the meals which leads to decrease the insulin level in blood. So what's then? Well, if you have no insulin in blood, there's no sugar intake in cell, and then you won't become fat. In these programs, usually, replace Carbs with protein (meat) and fat. And for the Carbs menu, they suggest you to eat vegetables more than fruits, and fruits more than starch (like grain)

• Too low Carb intake could leads to the metabolic state called ketosis, which may cause headaches, tiredness, nausea, dehydration, dizziness, and an unusual sweet-smelling breath odor.
• The lowered intake of dietary fiber can result in constipation (Remember vegetables and fruits are high-fibre source)
• Replacement of calories from carbohydrates with meat may result in high consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol (Oh O!), which many authorities believe will increase the risk of heart disease.
• It has been hypothesised that the kidneys can become overworked and that a related change in blood acidity can lead to bone loss, but trials testing the hypothesis have found no evidence of kidney damage or loss of bone.

From my "Cellular physiology class" the lecturer said

• It's not the way that directly reduces fat in your body. Because the first source of energy used in metabolism is "Carbohydrate", the slimmer shape is the result of the glycogen (the starch in your muscle) loss, not the fat. (But it maybe possible to kick the fat out by this way if you use this program for a longer time)----According to this, exercise is more direct way to kill of the fat.
• It's a fact that our fussy brain use ONLY sugar as a source of energy (Damn!). Moreover, if we don't feed it just a minute, it begin to rebel.(dizzy and faint) Deal to this, totally restrict Carbs from your meal is not a very good idea.
