1, low-carbon diet to lose weight, refers to a low-carbohydrate diet, that is, strictly limit the intake of carbohydrates in the diet and increase the intake of protein and fat. It was first put forward by American Atkins 1972 in Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution.

2. At present, the effect of low-carbon diet is still controversial in the medical field. Supporters believe that low-carbon diet can reduce body weight (about 10% on average) and blood cholesterol level (about 5% on average) to some extent, and reduce the risk of heart disease, but it is uncertain whether it will be effective in the long run. Opponents believe that few people can stick to a low-carbon diet for a long time. It is found that only 1% people can persist for a long time, with an average of 19 months. Moreover, if low-carbon dieters eat less carbohydrates, they will eat more protein and fat, which runs counter to the health concept of medicine and nutrition, and is not suitable for patients with coronary heart disease, gout and kidney disease.
