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.

Don't be deceived by the name �high protein��which is another way of saying low or no-carb diet. All the trend diets that were no or low carb in recent years were condemned for their unhealthiness. Low or no carb diet also suggests high protein or fat diet; it�s just altering the name and wishing everyone will swallow it!

When people are having to exercise their willpower for a lengthened amount of time, the body actually runs out of energy to control their emotions and/or urges. This may be a rationale for why people on diets may seem more irritable when they are on the no-carb diet.
