Keto 101: Keto Compared to Other Low Carb Diets
The low carb lifestyle: Which one to choose?
These days, low carb diets are all the rage – and for a good reason! Research indicates that low carb diets are an effective way to suppress appetite and lose weight. By restricting your intake of carbohydrates, including sugars, starches, pasta, and bread, while upping your intake of protein, healthy fats, and vegetables, you can shed pounds in a healthy and quick way.
But going low carb has benefits beyond weight loss. Studies have shown that a low carb diet can lower blood pressure, blood sugar, and triglyceride levels. What’s more, a low carb diet has also been shown to raise “good” cholesterol (HDL) levels and help balance “bad” cholesterol levels (LDL).
Sounds great, right? And it is! The low carb lifestyle has helped thousands of people shed pounds and regain their health. But a quick internet search yields a seemingly endless array of low carb diets to choose from. From keto to Atkins, South Beach to Paleo, it can be daunting!
