Low carb diets are in fashion right now. There is some evidence that a low-carbohydrate diet may help people lose weight in the short term. However, there are also concerns about the longer-term health effects. Mediterranean diets are shown to be one of the healthiest diets to follow and with just a few adjustments, you can make your Mediterranean diet low carb. If you're going to cut carbs, what you replace them with is important. Many low carb diets suggest whole food groups should be removed. This isn't a good idea from a health perspective as we'll discuss below. As with most things, moderation is best. It's better to reduce the quantities of high-carb foods rather than eliminating them fully. This is more sustainable long-term and ensures you don't suffer any nutritional deficiencies. Research shows a low-carbohydrate diet can be heart healthy. But this is as long as protein and fat selections come from healthy sources.
