Do low carb high protein diets work?

Answer 1

While low carb high protein diets work in the short term, there is no evidence to suggest that they work in the longer term. Furthermore, there are many health risks associated with it. For example, a large scale study has recently shown that a low carb high protein diet is linked to an increased risk of dying as a result of heart attacks and strokes (http://www.todayonline.com/World/EDC120627-0000136/Low-carb,-high-protein-diet-increases-risk-of-heart-attack--Study).
