I have been low carb for years now. It works for me.

In 1953 Ancel Keys misread his own research and announced that saturated fats caused high cholesterol. The problem? The body needs fats, including saturated fats. What Keys missed was there was one other necessary ingredient: fructose. Fructose is half of table sugar. And HIGH fructose corn syrup defines the sweetness in soft drinks.

Cutting out sugar helps a lot. Even if you change nothing else.
