Low-carb diets help you lose weight
Many people argue that diets should be low in carbohydrates when trying to lose weight or getting fit, but these nutrients play a fairly important role in people’s lives.
“Low-carb diets are not always terrible, especially if they cut out added sugar and processed carbohydrates. However, whole grains, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and beans all have carbohydrates and lots of other nutrients like fiber,” explains ACSM-certified exercise physiologist Melissa Morris. “A low-carb diet can cause short-term rapid weight loss, but it’s usually water weight. If you plan on eating carbs again, that weight will come back on.”
