Low carbohydrate diet plan review including diet meal plans & recipes

One of the most popular diet meal plans around, the Low Carb diet works by restricting the amount of carbs that you eat.

While carbs are an essential part of healthy eating, too many carbs can dramatically raise your blood sugar levels - this causes sudden fluctuations in insulin levels, and as a result, the body converts more food into fat for storage.

Low carb diets aim to reduce carbs by eliminating the worst sources - for example cakes, biscuits, doughnuts, crisps, chips, and fizzy drinks.
