Low Carb
|
Low Carbohydrate or Low Carb diets encompass a broad range of diet approaches with one central theme ? controlling your carbohydrate intake (breads, starches, processed sugars, etc), will bring about ketosis ? a metabolic function whereby your body actually starts to burn its' own fat. Usually the ketosis phase is generally short-lived and dieters move to a more healthy "maintenance phase". This diet approach rocketed to the forefront several years ago when Dr. Robert Atkins presented research to the American Medical Association on how low carb diets can actually be heart healthy. There have been several position papers since then that this may not be the case and this would still be a hotly debated topic if the low carb diet craze were as hot a topic today.
