Unlike other diets, the low carbohydrates diet actually changes your metabolism to aid in weight loss. The diet consists of very little carbohydrate intake, some roughage to help with digestion, and plenty of protein and fat! This intake causes our body to enter in 'Ketosis', a process that is important for fat metabolism. So if you don't change the diet plan other than low-carb diet for some specific time period, you will find it one of the best plans to lose weight. This low carb diet is based of human physiology and the way our body converts burning sugars to burning stored fats in times of starvation.

It consists of carb intake as less as 20 gm per day. Carbohydrates increase insulin content and other hormones that regulate enzymes, that leads to storage of fat. But by starving yourself a little, that you do due to less carb content in diet, the fat gets burnt naturally in the metabolism process. Thus metabolism helps you get rid of excess weight in a way that is natural but one must be very careful in intake of carb. High carb diet may result into more production of sugar in blood, leading to high risk of cancer.

In low carb diet, one should eliminate following items intake: sugar, pasta, potato, fruit, rice.
For whom

Low-carb diet is not meant for everyone. One needs to have very strict carb intake(20 gms per day) while trying this diet plan. This diet causes weight loss by using body's natural metabolism. i.e. converting the stored fats for energy. In this plan fats and proteins are allowed as carb intake is very less to help metabolism get better results in weight loss. If you are suffering from High Blood Pressure, then please don't go for Low-carb diet to reduce weight.

Anyone who exercises for more than hour at a stretch could risk hypoglycemic shock because the body is not able to convert sugar quickly enough to keep up with demand. For those who are under medication or taking treatment for high blood pressure, low carb plan is not suitable.
