While low carb diets have been around for a long time, their recent popularity has led to criticism from a number of sources. While many of these sources are based in the medical establishment, others are rival diet companies that have a vested interest in promoting low fat diets. Despite the fact that low carb diets have been proven to work when they are followed properly, these critics often attack the diet with claims that are baseless. One of the most basic attacks is that the diet doesn’t work. However, studies have shown that the diet does work, especially for people who want to lose weight quickly.

When the low fat diet is stacked against the low carb diet, the low carb diet has been shown to be more efficient in allowing people to lose weight. If you are suffering from diabetes, there is no argument that the low carb diet is much more efficient than a low fat diet. However, if you are looking for long tem weight loss, the low carb diet is not as efficient. But the same can be said for any other diet, including those which are low fat. Another common criticism is that low carb diets such as Atkins do not increase your cholesterol levels.

A study was conduced in 2003 by the New England Journal of Medicine, and they stacked a group who followed the food pyramid against a group that followed the low carb diet. Twelve months after the study started, it was shown that the people who followed the low carb diet had a larger increase in their HDL cholesterol levels. HDL cholesterol is known as the “good” cholesterol, while LDL cholesterol is known as the “bad” cholesterol.

After the test was completed, the founder noted that the low carb diet didn’t have many of the problems that he originally thought. Many of these attacks on the diet are a result of years of study which show that diets rich in fats are dangerous and unhealthy. More people are beginning to question the logic of this wisdom. While more people are obese than ever before, debate will continue when it comes to whether or not the low carb diets are effective in helping people lose weight. For many people, calling the low carb diet effective is like saying the world was round during the time Christopher Columbus. Its a concept that many people won’t accept.
