One recent cohort study suggested that the quality of food on low-carb diets is essential for modulating long-term weight change (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/jamanetwork.com\/journals\/jamanetworkopen\/fullarticle\/2813286?utm_source=For_The_Media&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=ftm_links&amp;utm_term=122723\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This means a person who prioritizes high-quality protein, fat, and carbs from whole grains and other plant-based foods may be less likely to gain weight over time. In the short-term, low-carb or very-low-carb diets sometimes result in weight loss, although this may initially be more water weight than actual fat. If you were to go back to a normal diet, the water weight would come back along with your glycogen stores.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, depriving yourself of carbs completely may provide extra pitfalls:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may feel low in energy<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may feel dizzy and suffer with headaches<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may experience constipation<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your belly may bloat<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You may increase your health risks in the long term: one 2022 study highlighted the adverse effect of a low-carb diet that it could potentially increase \u201cbad cholesterol\u201d in some individuals, possibly due to the lack of fiber or increased saturated fat intake (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC8796252\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">10<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).
