b. Soluble Fibers
Soluble fiber attracts water and forms a gel-like substance with food as it's
digested. This in turn slows down digestion and helps you feel full faster,
which is important in weight management. It may also help lower your risk
of heart disease, regulate your blood sugar, and help reduce LDL
cholesterol.
2. What is ketosis?
Ketosis is a process that happens when your body doesn't have enough
carbohydrates to burn for energy. Instead, it burns fat and makes things called
ketones, which it can use for fuel. Ketosis is a word you'll probably see when
you're looking for information on diabetes or weight loss. Ketosis may be
beneficial for some people, but you should ask your doctor before switching to
a very low carb diet, in case it's not suitable for you. Ketosis is safe for most
people. However, some people may experience side effects, including bad
breath, headaches, and constipation.
