Despite the growing popularity of low carb diets, the dismal statistics remains: 95% of all people who go on diets fail. And why is that so? Why do low carb diets fail in high numbers?

Low-carb diets became popular as they promised a fast fat loss. And they did deliver on that promise, but what the marketers of low carb diets didn’t tell the population was that this weight loss will be short termed only.

The reason why any weight loss from low carb diets will be short termed is that -carbohydrate diets is just a fancy name for Starvation Diets. Naturally you shed weight if you eat a small amount of carbs. That’s because you are naturally reducing on the number of calories you eat and so you shed weight. First of all.

What happens to your metabolism ensures that you will not be in a position to shed weight in the long run.

You see, your metabolism adjusts to the number of calories you eat and slows itself down to that level. When you go on a low carb diet, your metabolism is first of all high. You lower your calorie intake so you shed weight. But then your metabolism slows and you stop losing weight although you are still eating that reduced sum of calories.

Another thing which is bad about diets which are low on carbs is that it’s hard to keep at them for quite a while. Why? Try to imagine eating no carbs or very small of them. Sure, you can pull it off for a while. But not for long. When you stop being on that diet what happens? Your metabolism is still slow but now you are eating carbs again. What happens is that now you gain back all the weight that you lost and more.

This is one of the reasons why if you are using a low carb diet, you are doomed to fail.

What you ought to do is follow a diet which lets you eat a reasonable sum of calories of all food groups and use the Shifting Calories technique to keep your metabolism running high. Then you’ll succeed in losing weight and looking after your weight loss for quite a while.
