Low carb diet
A low-carb diet requires you to limit carbs but include plenty of protein . This means that 20% of your calorie intake is carbs, 40% is protein, and the remaining 40% is fat. This type of diet will provide temporary and rapid weight loss.
No-carb diet
This diet restricts you from consuming carbohydrates entirely, consuming only protein and fat. You may see weight loss quickly, but this is not an effective long-term weight loss method.
If you diet too strictly, your body will have side effects. You may face fatigue, headaches, dull, pale skin, and even menstrual health problems.
Neither low-carbohydrate, high-protein diet is good. These diets are considered unhealthy, causing severe dehydration and muscle loss.
Instead, try these tips for a healthy lifestyle:
- Be active and walk 30 minutes/day
- You should only lose 0.5 - 1kg/week
- Lose weight slowly, your weight will not increase suddenly when you stop losing weight
- Do not eat more than 30% of total calories from fat
- It is necessary to consume fruits and vegetables in the daily diet.
