Most diet plans, including low-carb diet plans, are best taken with a grain of salt, because although one may work for your best friend, it may not work for you. For those with serious weight problems and have co-existing issues such as hyperglycemia (high blood sugar levels) or like some of us hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels) etc., the popular diet plans usually will not be able to cater to individual needs. We are all individuals and as such we need to feed ourselves as individuals, having said this some diet plans will be more beneficial for the general population than others.
To assess which particular diet plan will be beneficial, you can follow these guidelines. They are very much common sense points and provide a good framework that many nutrition professionals would broadly follow, and within which you can divide the scammy diet plans from those that can offer you safe and healthy diet ideas.
Diet offers sufficient balance and a variety of carbohydrates, proteins,s, and fats.
Diet does not exclude one particular food group and encourages excessive consumption of another.
Diet encourages exercise to complement sensible eating habits.
Diet encourages awareness of portion sizes.
Diet does not encourage unrealistic quick weight loss.
Diet is backed up with medical research data.
In addition to these points, I’ve broadly outlined the low-carb diet plans, which seem to be occupying the minds of dieters and researchers alike, as well as the research for and against pertinent to the low-carb diet plans.
