A member asked:
Will going on a low-carbohydrate diet help me lose weight faster?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: You need to restrict caloric intake and exercise to burn more calories to lose weight. Low carbohydrate diet is marginally better, but you can gain weight on a low carbohydrate diet if you eat fats and proteins in an amount that more than makes up for the carbohydrate deficit.
