Fad Low Carbohydrate Diets

Fad Low Carbohydrate Diets

Low-carb fad diets such as the Atkins or Keto diet have become increasingly popular for weight loss over the years. Taking this route has shown to lower risk of some illnesses, but it has also been shown to shorten overall life expectancy by up to four years. This is why moderate carb consumption is recommended or switching meat for plant-based protein and fats. A moderate carbohydrate diet is more sustainable and gives our bodies the best energy source. It also provides the healthiest option for weight loss through nutrition. The best and most successful weight management programs combine sound nutrition with exercise. So, instead of joining the next fad, try accessing tools available to everyone such as MyPlate or a Registered Dietitian to help track and understand healthy eating.
