The human body is designed to run best
on a certain type and balance of "fuel"
and unfortunately the latest
low-carbohydrate fad diets are not fuel
that the human body was designed to run
on.
Low-carbohydrate diets can cause
many health concerns over time and
these include the following.
Gout : a form of arthritis that
occurs when excessive uric acid levels
start to crystallize in joints leading to
pain and inflamation. Excessive amounts of
protein may lead to an inability of
elimination of uric acid.
Kidney Stones : these are solid
masses that form in the kidneys when uric
acid or calcium oxalate crystalizes and
over time form stones. Insoluble fiber
found only in carbohydrates reduces the
absorption of calcium, which cause urinary
calcium levels to drop resulting in
prevention of kidney stone's
formation.
Constipation and Poor Intestinal
Health : to maintain good intestinal
health our bodies require fiber daily.
Fiber is divided into soluble and
insoluble. Insoluble fiber is vital in the
formation of stools and decreases the time
process of waste elimination. Low
carbohydrate diets are too low in
insoluble fiber and increase risk of
constipation. Poor transit time of waste
material increases risk of certain colon
cancers. Insoluble fibers prevent the
buildup of mucus on intestinal walls which
lead to poor absorption of nutrients into
the body. Low carbohydrate diets are
inadequate to maintain good intestinal
wall health.
Rise in Cholesterol Levels and
heart disease risk increases on a low
carbohydrate, low fiber diets. These diets
promote excessive amounts of animal
protein, cholesterol and saturated fat.
Exuberant amounts of protein increase
homocysteine, which is a bi product of the
amino acid methionine. Many experts
believe that high homocysteine levels have
many toxic effects which lead to increase
risk of heart disease and hardening of
arteries. 
Low carbohydrate, low fiber diets
reduce the absorption and elimination of
digestive bile in the intestines.
Digestive bile is produced in the liver
from cholesterol. A decrease in digestive
bile production raises blood serum
cholesterol levels which increases risk of
heart disease.
Osteoporosis : the reduction of
bone density due to the loss of calcium
over long periods of time. Several dietary
factors increase this risk. When dietary
protein reaches excessive levels so does
the loss of calcium in the urine. Studies
show that a life-long high protein diet
results in an increase of osteoporosis.
Poor intestinal health due to low fiber
diets causes inadequate absorption of
calcium in intestines contributing to poor
bone formation. This would suggest that
all low carbohydrate diets cannot become a
life long lifestyle of eating.
Loss of Muscle and Reduction of
Metabolism : any diet that applies the
restriction of calories less than the
body's daily requirements over long
periods of time will result in the loss of
lean muscle tissue and a decrease in the
metabolism. All low carbohydrate diets are
focused solely on weight loss. The loss of
fat comes at a high cost, which is the
loss of lean muscle. The loss of muscle
reduces the resting metabolic rate, which
is the major cause for rebound weight
gain.

Poor Exercise Performance :
carbohydrates are the primary fuel for
your muscles and brain. A low carbohydrate
diet prevents proper maintenance of muscle
and liver glycogen - the storage form of
carbohydrate and water, decreasing muscle
performance and increasing muscle fatigue.
ATP is the main source of energy for all
muscle contraction. When a muscle is used,
a chemical reaction breaks down ATP to
produce energy. There is only enough ATP
stored in the muscle for a few
contractions. More ATP is needed. There
are three enzyme systems that can create
more ATP. The three sources of ATP for
muscle contraction are carbohydrates,
fatty acids and amino acid proteins.
Carbohydrates metabolize efficiently and
are therefore used first. If carbohydrates
are not available, your muscles metabolize
fatty acids and amino acids as secondary
sources of ATP. These secondary sources
are not efficient, which consequently
cause your strength and endurance to drop
drastically.
Long term success managing weight
starts with the right approach. If you are
overweight, the real problem is that you
have too much body fat for the muscle you
possess. Your goal should be to lose fat
without losing muscle or sacrificing your
health in the process and this is achieved
by correcting your food intake and at the
same time increasing your exercise
activity. Low carbohydrate diets provide
initial weight loss but at the high cost
of losing muscle and reducing adequate
sources of fuel to support exercise
activity, which is vital in maintaining
good health.
