Why are low-carb diets so popular?
A part of their popularity can be explained by the fact that low-carb diets curb appetite, so it is easy to stay on the diet and even make it a lifestyle. The negative side of these diets is that they can not be considered balanced. Dieters are usually advised to take supplements to ensure an adequate nutrient intake. It’s very important to understand how these diets work and what you can expect from each of them; and to be able to then choose a diet that is best for you. Fortunately, the mechanisms of carbohydrates working as primary fuel for just about any body have been studied extensively and are well understood.
