Low Carb Diets are Bad for Weight Loss Success

Everybody has heard of “low carb" diets -- since they are emerging as the newest trend in dieting, in spite of squarely contradictory medical evidence.

If they work for the long term and are they the solution to weight loss that everybody is looking for?

The short answer is No, because low carb diets have several problems which make losing weight very difficult for the “average” dieter.

For example, if you follow the Atkins diet (a popular low carb program) then the restriction on carbs for the first couple weeks is very severe,

The Atkins program allows just 20 grams of "net carbs" per day during the first phase of the diet (which usually lasts for 2 weeks).

Just to give you an idea of how few carbs that really is – even a large apple has more than 20 grams of "net carbs".

This low level of carbs is often too severe for the “average” dieter to tolerate for 2 weeks straight, and in fact eating such a low level of carbs can make a person feel “weak” and “miserable” all day long (because your body needs more carbs than that for energy).

For further interest,When Dr.Atkins died, he was reported to have weighed 280#.

Other low carb diets (such as the South Beach Diet) are not quite as severe as the Atkins Plan, but in our opinion even the South Beach Diet is too difficult to follow, and contrary to bsaic science as well.

It's obvious that a successful diet must be locical and be easy to follow, otherwise, people will quit and feel worse than ever.

We’re not saying that all low carb diets are as restrictive as the Atkins Diet is, but we're saying that most low carb diets are so hard to follow that “average dieters” will probably wind up feeling hungry and weak all day long because of the systemic changes occuring as well as the slower metabolism.

“Low carbs” is not the answer to losing weight, since your body needs a reasonable amount of all 3 types of calories to lose weight consistently (protein, carbs, and fat). That is: lean protein, complex carbs, and 'good fats.

To lose weight quickly you must eat all 3 types of calories in the right proportions, and that’s why most dieters fail. They fail because nobody knows what the right proportions of calories should be.

To begin losing weight fast and sustain weight control -- one must eat 5 or 6 meals each day as described in our plan ( diet through knowledge and you'll never be hungry again)

This is a brand new type of diet never seen before.
