Description

Carbohydrates—the very word strikes fear in the hearts of many these days. They make you fat and lead to diabetes, right? And they cause heart disease and various other ailments…right? Chances are, if you’re trying to lose weight, you’ve probably tried a low-carb diet. But did it work for you long-term? If you’re still stuck in the yo-yo diet rut, still struggling with a muffin top and reluctant to attend that high school reunion or beach vacation, then you need to get your facts straight. Wouldn’t it be nice to finally get your diet ducks in a row and be lean for life? Low- and high-carbohydrate diets can both help you lose fat. The trick is figuring out which diet will work best for you. Until now, that was a guessing game involving a lot of self-experimentation with possible negative side effects if you chose incorrectly—fatigue, depression, anxiety and sexual dysfunction.
