Do you recommend low-carb diets as a good way to lose weight?
A. There is no “quick-fix” to losing weight, despite what many fad diets promise. Losing weight (or maintaining a healthy weight) is a result of burning more calories than you consume — so this means eating fewer calories and exercising. There are also dangerous health risks associated with low-carb diets that may lead to chronic diseases, such as coronary heart disease, Alzheimer’s, and certain cancers.
