"Low Carb" diets are a relatively modern sensation and are now becoming increasingly well recognized. The real question is though, are they a successful weight loss diet? And are they the panacea that quite a few people today are professing them to be.
In my experience, although weight loss is achievable, I have to admit that I really don't believe that low carb diets are a healthy way to lose weight. Perhaps the most well known low carb diet is the Atkins diet. One of the signatures of the Atkins diet is the almost complete eradication of carbohydrates from the diet during the initial few weeks.
The total number of calories from carbohydrates allowed per day is pretty meagre, and approximates to less than one slice of wholemeal bread. From a nutritional point of view, this is a pretty extreme situation for someone to endure and can lead to a number of negative effects including poor energy levels and mood swings. The Atkins diet is probably the most extreme of the popular mainstream low carb diets and there are a number of other well known low carb diets such as the South Beach diet that are not quite as restrictive but these are still difficult diets to follow.
And therein lies the problem with low carb diets. They can be difficult to follow, especially at the beginning and therefore people are likely to give up before they really get going. The best diets are those that are not only easy to follow but where people will continue with the diet until they lose the weight that they desire. That's certainly a much more difficult prospect if they feel tired and moody. From my personal experience, I really do believe that there are better ways to lose weight than to use low carb diets.
Restricting your carbohydrates to such low levels can have negative effects on your body's overall metabolism. In fact some would argue that your body goes into starvation mode when placed under this sort of stress. To keep your body operating in tip top condition, it needs all three calorie types (carbs, fats and proteins). Probably the best way to lose weight is to eat a balanced diet that includes all three types of calories i.e. fats, proteins and carbohydrates. That is why so many people fail on low carb diets. They key is to eat the correct proportions of each calorie type.
Eating a balanced diet that contains the correct proportions of carbohydrate, fat and protein can often be the best way to loose weight quick.
