Low Fat Diet

I am doing cardio 3 times a week combined with strength training power twice a week. I used to eat good carbs (like multi-grain bread, wheat and granola, etc.) and lost 15 kg over the last 6 months, with about 10% body fat down. Recently, a health instructor that I met told me that low carb is happening, it's even better and I'll lose weight even faster. I have since (for about a week now) been on a low-carb and it feels strange to be on a low carbohydrate, high fat and protein diet since I'm on a diet low in fat for some time. I also did some research and it seems low-carbohydrate diets are not healthy. Is this true? Pls advise. Thank you.

Carbohydrates are needed for normal body breakdown of glucose for energy. the best diet (in my opinion) is balanced, do not cut completely a group of simple food and not too much a single food group. eat less, but more often, which helps keep your metabolism high. Exercise is also necessary, at least 30 minutes of aerobic exercise most days of the week. Remember, "Healthy weight loss is to lose about 1-2 pounds per week.

Diets low in carbohydrates become unhealthy when you are very restricting them from your diet because you carbohydrates are essential for certain functions in your body. What you used to eat was good.

As long as you keep your protein up while making a low carb diet, you should not lose muscle. You should worry about losing muscle when you drop proteins, because with the low-carb diet, your body will start using muscle energy because it is not stored carbohydrates to use more.

Your Instructor is true that going on a diet low in carbohydrates will help you lose weight fast .. but from what people say, you gain the weight back when you are out of the diet of the very low carb.
