Yes, very bad. You need carbs. You do lose weight quickly but the down side is you also lose energy and if you get off the diet you gain it back and plus some. Eat 5-6 small meals(just untill you are satisfied) a day and doing some kind of excercise 3 times a week.
Check out Low-GI (Glycemic Index) diets. Much more balanced, and practical.
yes it does work but I dont agree with it, because you need carbs, its what gives you energy.
it does work, until you go off the diet. Then you turn into a balloon. It really isn t healthy for you-your body needs carbs because thats its primary source of energy.
Carbs are the primary fuel source for the brain and nervous system. In addition, they are the ONLY fuel source for the red blood cells and the kidneys. If the body is short on carbs, it will break down protein to make carbs for these functions. This generates a lot of uric acid which the kidneys work overtime (while short on fuel) to flush out. The loss in muscle and water accounts for most of the weight loss attributed to low carb diets. Any loss in fat is because cutting out carbs is simply cutting calories.It lowers your resting metabolic rate and if you increase your calories back to normal (usually by adding back carbs), you gain it all back. This diet brings the risk of hypoglycemia, gout (from uric acid), overworked kidneys, dehydration, mineral depletion, and constipation.Here is more info on low carb diets.http://spartafit.com/articles/low%20carb��A better way to lose fat is to do the following:Eat 6 small but balanced meals per day. Your carbs should be high in fiber and your proteins should be lean. Fats should be sparing but concentrated in the omega 3 s and omega 6 s. Avoid greasy foods, alcohol, and candy.Lift weights because the slight increase in your lean mass will burn extra calories 24 hours per day. This will increase your resting metabolic rate. Also, some cardio helps.Use a measuring tape instead of a scale to measure your progress because it is more accurate than the scale.Here is more info on fat loss.http://spartafit.com/main/fat%20loss.htm��http://spartafit.com/main/basal%20metabo��
