A low carb diet can help you lose weight. For it to work right, a person has to limit their carb intake. They must maintain an overall healthy diet afterwards to maintain the weight loss.
While low carb high protein diets work in the short term, there is no evidence to suggest that they work in the longer term. Furthermore, there are many health risks associated with it. For example, a large scale study has recently shown that a low carb high protein diet is linked to an increased risk of dying as a result of heart attacks and strokes (http://www.todayonline.com/World/EDC120627-0000136/Low-carb,-high-protein-diet-increases-risk-of-heart-attack--Study).
You could try the Ornish diet, but many people find low fat diets are hard to follow, and don't usually work very well. I would recommend following a low carb diet to lose weight quickly.
are people fat from diabities? no no they are not people are fat from not exercicing enough or not not eating healthy foods in fact that is the #1 reason in most cases . . . . .diets do not work!!!
In general, most diets will only work if one cuts down on calories and combines it with exercise. Fast diets will be the same. Those who follow it swear by it, but results will vary.
Not all diets work the same for everyone. What is good for one person may not be good for another. The best thing to do is consult with a dietician and he/she can tell you what will work best with your body.
Low carb diets are exactly what they sound like. Cut the carbs to the minimum and lose the weight. Foods high in carbs are frequently high in sugar, so that is one way that these low carb diets work. The other part of the equation is what your body does with carbs once they get into your system, which is to turn them into sugar again, not good. The great thing about low carb diets is they don't necessarily restrict your total calorie intake, just the carbs. Eat all the lean protein you want and stay full while you diet.
What is so special about the truth about diets is that most do not work. They restrict calories and fats to an unhealthy and often extreme levels, causing most people to fail them.
You can find information about diets that work from magazines or on the Internet. Fitness Magazine is a good magazine you can use for information on diets that work. MyFitnessPal is a good website where you can find out information about diets as well.
Why should people be wary of low- carbohydrate and/or high-protein diets?
Diets like the 17 Day Carb diet are effective as they are based on science and dieticians. Not all short term diets are effective, and in the long run a short term diet or a long term diet require work well into the future to maintain the healthy patterns established in the diet.
All fad diets work in the short term. Many diets will work in helping you to lose weight, but the best way to keep weight off is through proper diet and exercise.
