Low-carbohydrate diets or low-carb diets are dietary programs that restrict carbohydrate consumption primarily for weight control. Foods high in digestible carbohydrates are limited or replaced with foods containing a higher percentage of proteins and fats.

Thousands of people are losing weight each week using this new diet. You can get it here begin using this new diet right here.

The best weight loss plans are all high in fruit, vegetables and fiber, and low in artery-clogging types of fat. The worst is the high-protein, low-carb Atkins plan."Obese people already have a higher risk of heart disease," explained Dr. Yunsheng Ma. "So it's particularly important that they make heart-healthy diet changes that can be kept up."

It all started when a doctor sparked on a topic within earshot of an ardent low-carb blogger. The doctor, an associate professor, Dr David Katz of Yale University was reported by Forbes to have claimed that the Atkins diet had resulted to the hospitalization of one of his patients.

Middle-aged women who adopt low-carbohydrate diets and increase their intake of proteins as proposed in the Atkins plan may risk premature death due to cardiovascular disease, a new survey said.

he low-carb, high-fat Atkins diet gets high marks in one of the biggest, longest head-to-head studies of popular weight-loss plans, beating the Zone, the Ornish diet and even U.S. guidelines. Even so, critics say the results show how hard it is to lose weight and keep it off.
