Diets low carbohydrate

I don't think so. Ideally the body needs a balanced and organized diet that includes carbs, proteins, fibers and vitamins to keep the energy level up. A low card diet may work for a certain period, but beyond that you might start feeling the side effects of the lack of carbs in the system. It also depends on the individual and his or her body chemistry. One can never be sure whether just a low carb diet will be enough to sustain the body. Unless you actually try it out for real, there is no way of determining this. Hope that answers your question.

Hi Jane

Its true Nandhini, but you can choose low glycemic carbs which is good in carbs , low in calories, high in protein & this will help you to maintain your strength , stamina & health.

Few examples of low glycemic index foods are whole grain cereals like wheat bran, Oats, jowar, Ragi or finger millet,Barley etc. Amongst the vegetables you can have beans, Soya beans,sweet potato etc.
