A member asked:
Could a low carbohydrate diet or "atkins diet" work?

Diet + exercise: No diet would work by itself. Exercise is of paramount importance if the reason for the diet is weight loss. Otherwise, each and every diet is addressing specific metabolic pathways that might be tailored to your specific metabolic profile.

May be short-term: weight loss if not combined with exercise
