Fad Diets: The History of Low-Carb Diets

We've all heard of low-carb diets, but when did they start? Where did they come from? And, even more importantly, do they work?

In this episode of Fat Science, hosts Dr. Emily Cooper, Andrea Taylor, and Mark Wright unravel the confusion surrounding low-carb diets and deconstruct many common misconceptions about weight loss.

They cover the historical context and scientific backgrounds of low-carb diets and confront the bitter reality of all fad diets. (The initial weight loss often seduces people but is typically just a loss of water weight rather than body fat.) Regrettably, these diets often result in long-term weight gain, creating an unhealthy cycle that damages the body's metabolism.

So, forget the quick-fix diets, love your body, nourish it right, and prioritize meaningful connections beyond dieting.
