The Problem with Low-Carb Diets
One of the inherent problems with low-carb diets is that the term doesn't say much about what the rest of the diet includes.

She increased her omega-3 supplements (which help to lower triglycerides) and added chromium and alpha-lipoic acid (which improve insulin function and lower blood sugar).
Two months later, Catherine had lost ten pounds."

1. Saturated fat can raise insulin." - Jonny Bowden, M.A., C.N.S., Living the Low Carb Life: Controlled Carbohydrate Eating for Long-Term Weight Loss (Get the book.)
"Their thinking is that if you start with protein and low-carb foods like vegetables, you'll be satisfied before you get too enamored of the dessert.
