Losing weight

Recognise the difference between hunger and thirst.

The feelings of hunger and thirst are quite alike, but one can result in weight gain and the alternative is fine.

Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe and healthy for you?
Most of the unpleasant side-effects claimed, like general tiredness, bowel disorders, or bad headaches are only temporary, but critics contend that low carbohydrate diets are not without serious long term side effects.
