Why Cut Sugar and Restrict Carbohydrates for Weight Loss

Why Cut Sugar and Restrict Carbohydrates for Weight Loss

By Klinik Dr. Diana


✨ Why Cut Sugar and Restrict Carbohydrates for Weight Loss?

  • 🚫 Reduces Insulin Levels: Lowering sugar intake keeps insulin low, which helps burn fat.

  • ❌ Prevents Fat Storage: Excess sugar and carbs are converted to fat and stored.

  • ⚡ Stabilizes Blood Sugar: Prevents energy spikes and crashes.

  • 🔥 Promotes Fat Burning: Low carbs force the body to use fat as a primary energy source.

🚀 How the Body Uses Fat as Fuel:

  • 📉 Low Carb Intake: Lowers glucose, the main energy source.

  • 💡 Switches to Ketosis: The liver breaks down stored fat into ketones.

  • ⚡ Ketones Become Fuel: Muscles and organs use ketones for energy instead of glucose.

Why Malaysians Should Care:

  • Malaysia has a strong food culture, but it is also one of the countries with the highest obesity rates in Southeast Asia.

  • Common Malaysian foods are high in refined carbs (white rice, kuih, sweet drinks), which quickly raise blood sugar.

  • Adopting a lower-carb diet doesn’t mean giving up your favorite foods — it means making smarter choices.


🔑 Key Perspective: Low-Carb is Not No-Carb:

  • You are not avoiding all carbohydrates; you are choosing low-glycemic, nutrient-dense carbs instead.

  • This approach helps your body tap into fat stores for energy without constant sugar cravings.
