Low-Carb Diet:

A low-carb diet limits your daily intake of carbohydrates and increases your portion of fats. This type of diet is also referred to as a low-carb, high-fat diet. Low-carb diets restrict the carbohydrates found in sugary foods, bread and pasta. It is high in fat and protein.

The concept of eating low-carb foods is quite simple. Carbohydrates and fats are the main sources of the energy needed by our bodies. Your body burns the carbs that you have consumed throughout the day and any excess carbs are stored in the form of fat. Storage of fat in the body leads you to gain weight. If you reduce the carb consumption, glycogen reserve levels fall and the body uses fats for energy instead of glycogen, derived from carbohydrates. Burning fat will help you lose weight. The process of burning fat for fuel is called lipolysis.

A low-carb diet is generally used for weight loss. Besides weight loss, the low-carb diet has various other health benefits, such as reducing the risk of the metabolic syndrome and type-2 diabetes. One study shows that adults with type-2 diabetes improved their blood sugar control while on a low-carb diet.
