Body Mass Index and Waist to Hip Ratios are also reasonable measurements of weight. Jump up and down in front of a full-length mirror, nude. While you may experience weight loss, it's usually temporary. There's also negative health risks to consider. Low-carbohydrate diets drain glycogen stores and result in dehydration.
Dehydration causes fatigue and low energy.
High-protein diets may cause sodium depletion, resulting in a disruption in the body's electrolyte balance as well as dehydration. Low-carbohydrate diets eliminate food groups that contain important vitamins and minerals including B vitamins found in grains, calcium and vitamin D in dairy products, and vitamin A and vitamin C in fruits and vegetables. Diets low in fiber often cause constipation. All these health risks for a temporary weight loss, don't seem worth the health risk to me. Make sure that the eating plan you're following suits your needs and cravings.
