There really isn't.

Many people have claimed they have felt better on low carb diets and they have, but it isn't because they go low carb it is because low carb diet authors encourage their readers to do these things:

- cutting back on refined carbohydrates: processed foods
- lots of food made out of white flour
- lots of low fiber food
- lots of food with a lot of sweetener in it

- avoiding dairy products

- eating more vegetables

Losing weight isn't all that great if you can't live the diet permanently, you gain the weight back, and you seriously damage your health. All is true of low carb diets.

I understand the low carb vs other diets is a bit of religious war for many people so I will stop. Pick your poison.

I just felt ethically obligated to say something.

Good luck
