Who are we
Dlc – Délices low carb is an online store specializing in the sale of low carb or sugar-free/carbohydrate-free products. It was born from the will of Cyril Plas, its manager, himself a fervent follower of this mode of nutrition (which has become a lifestyle in its own right), a low carb lifestyle that he shares with his partner.
24 months of dieting (interspersed with weight regain due to the reintroduction of carbohydrates recommended by the dieticians he consulted) highlighted two important parameters of success:
1/ The role of carbohydrates in a low-calorie diet
2/ The important psychological part in the success of such a diet
Indeed, following the loss of the desired weight, it is often recommended to reintroduce carbohydrates into your diet.
To produce energy, the body uses carbohydrates first, which are the nutrients most quickly converted into fuel. Excess carbohydrates consumed are stored first in the glycogen reserve around the liver, and then, secondly, as fat in the body's fat cells.
The low carb diet consists of depriving the body of carbohydrate intake (or significantly reducing this intake) forcing the body to use its fat reserves to produce the energy it needs. (The liver transforms stored fat into ketone bodies as an energy source).
Cyril Plas put this diet into practice with the following results: total loss to date: 24 kg, blood pressure dropped from 16 to 12/6, with a daily boost in energy. He completed a half-marathon and a marathon in less than a month while continuing to consume no carbohydrates except those present in fruits and vegetables. It should also be noted that this low-carb lifestyle had a surprising effect on the radiance of the skin, which then became firmer and luminous.
He was only able to observe the benefits of this lifestyle without the slightest deficiency in view of the analyses and the state of form observed.
However, nothing would have been possible without taking into account the psychological part of pleasure in any diet that allowed him to stick to it in the long term. Indeed, in addition to this diet, the important thing was to find pleasure foods that did not affect his weight. This is why Atkins bars , for example, were the key to success in stabilizing his weight while enjoying himself during the break. The final goal was achieved: to enjoy himself without suffering the consequences on his health.
