Side effect | The Logi Method

Side effect

A common side effect can be caused by the numerous dietary fibers that are present in vegetables in large quantities. Since low-starch fruit and vegetables form the basis of the nutrition pyramid in the Logi Method, more dietary fiber is absorbed with the food. Dietary fibers have the property that they are difficult for the body to digest.

They cause gases in the decomposition processes, which lead to a bloated stomach. Flatulence is therefore a frequent side effect of unusually large vegetable consumption. On the other hand, the foods of the Logi Method, fruit, vegetables, dairy products such as curd cheese and legumes have a stimulating effect on the metabolism and digestion.

Certain foods such as Chia pudding for breakfast can have a strong digestive effect and may cause diarrhea. Apart from digestive problems such as bloating and diarrhea, no side effects are to be expected from this method of nutrition, as it is a healthy food and a balanced diet. Deficiency symptoms are not to be expected with the Logi Method.

Criticism of the Logi method

There are some nutritionists who question the importance of the glycemic index or glycemic load in this diet. The German Society for Nutrition criticizes the low-carbohydrate diet and recommends a carbohydrate-heavy diet. The criticism of the Logi method is therefore similar to the criticism of the low-carb method. For information about possible risks, carry out the self-test nutrition.

What are the risks/hazards of the Logi Method?

In the vernacular it is said, “Carbohydrates make you happy”. For stress-prone and at times depressed people, a low-carbohydrate diet can have a negative effect on their mood. According to the British Medical journal there is an increased risk for cardiovascular diseases with a Low Carb nutrition.

The main issue here is the ratio of carbohydrate and protein in the diet. The high proportion of protein in the diet, which is controversial, is taken into account. A high-protein diet is not suitable for people with impaired kidney function, as it places an additional burden on the kidneys in large quantities.
