Be aware of Fad diet like "0 or low carb diet"

One might read, for example, that low-carb diets attempt to “eliminate carbohydrates.” That's simply not possible.

 

Let's find the truth:

• The efficacy of Fad diets like low carb diet enjoys short-term popularity and success.

• Researchers often claim that low-carb diets are unsustainable because they restrict common food groups.

• If the carbs get cut from the diet suddenly & drastically may lead variety of temporary health effects, including: Headache, Bad breath, Weakness, muscle camps, Fatigue, skin rash, Constipation or diarrhoea

• A large study concludes that low carb diet raises the risk of premature mortality, as well as mortality from several chronic illnesses. Therefore, scientists urge dieters to avoid low-carb diets.

 

Not all carbs are bad, though: "Foods like fruits, vegetables and whole grains, may be high in carbs and calories sometimes, but they are not empty," Koff says. "They deliver fibre, protein, B vitamins and other nutrients." Carbs are important source of fuel for Human Brain. It's the first macronutrient used for fuel, and it's the easiest to release from storage.
