With the influx of low-carb diets, it's hard to ignore the amazing claims of weight loss by skipping out on breads, pastas and others. Problem is, what you don't hear about is the potential issues with going low-carb.
Here are some things to consider before you start a low-carb diet:
- A low-carb diet may not be the best idea for anyone with diabetes, kidney stones, high cholesterol, or women who are pregnant.
- Some people on a low-carb diet may need to take a multivitamin as well as a fiber supplement to get needed nutrients missing from your diet.
- Since most low-carb diets are high in protein, be sure to drink a lot of water to combat potential dehydration and liver damage.
- It's always a good idea to consult your doctor before starting any new diet; low-carb is no exception to the rule.
- Finally, have you ever tried eating a hamburger with no bun?
