Research Notes on Low Carb Diets
Low-carb diets are very popular and do help some people lose weight, but the long-term health effects are largely unknown. They are generally considered "fad diets," because they promise people will lose weight simply by changing the food they eat, but without exercising. There are many myths about low-carb diets, both in favor and against them.
Fast Facts:
- Some popular low-carb diets are the Atkins, South Beach, and Glycemic Impact Diets
- Low-carb diets are high in fat, which can lead to problems such as heart disease or kidney disease
- Eating healthy and exercising remains the best way to lose weight
