A variety of low carb diets are out there, including diet books like Dr atkins new diet revolution, protein power, etc. They all seem to have one thing in common - a strict reduction in the consumption of carbohydrates. Most of the low-carb diets in existence replace those carbohydrates with fats & proteins. Those on low carb diets should get at least 60-70% of their daily calories from fat. Carbs should make up less than 10% and in some cases, less than 5% of their daily calories.
As is turns out, dietary fat is not necessarily converted into body fat. Carbohydrates, on the other hand, are readily converted into fat by insulin. When you eat high carbohydrate foods, the increased blood sugar stimulates insulin production by the pancreas. Insulin is the hormone that allows blood sugar to be used by the cells. However, a side effect of insulin is that it also causes fat to be deposited, and it also stimulates your brain to produce hunger signals, usually causing you to eat more carbohydrates.~Susan

Re: If this doesn't give us hope
That was a great story! More people should start the same kind of website so more and more people would be exposed to the truth of low carb vs. low fat diets. If I had the know-how, I'd do it myself! Thanks for the link, Desert!Aka Nyna
