How do “low-carb” diets really work?

Ryan asked:


I’m asking this question for an assignment that I have for college level biology. Also, try to answer, Why would a high protein diet lead to weight loss, and is the weight loss sustainable? And, what might be the negative side effects of the diet?

    Losing weight without starving yourself

    ur body turns carbs into glucose, which it uses for energy. if ur not taking in enough carbs (glucose), u will start to burn ur fat as energy

    any unused carbs that u dont burn off as energy, are just stored as fat

    As far as i know a really high protein diet is only good for building muscle, and the more muscle u have the more fat u will burn, bu ton its own, no i dont think so

    How to Lose Weight

    look up “Ketosis” on the internet. Your body goes into this state when you cut out carbs.
    really works but is very unhealthy.

    Good luck
