Low carb, crash diets and high protein diets are newest dieting craze but, before you jump on band wagon, you might want to think of few things:

Low carb diets deplete healthy glycogen stores in muscles & liver. When you are depleting glycogen stores, you as well dehydrate, causing scale to drop in first week or else two of diet. This is interpreted as the fat loss when it is mostly from the dehydration and the muscle loss. This is the reasons that the low-carb diets are very popular at moment – and there is quick initial, however deceptive drop in the scale weight.

Glycogenesis happens in liver & muscles when sufficient quantities of the carbohydrates are taken - little of this takes place on low carb diet. Glycogenolysis happens when glycogen is been broken down to get glucose for use to burn stomach fat.

Depletion of the muscle glycogen also causes you to exhausted easily, as well as makes exercise & movement uncomfortable. Study indicates that the muscle fatigue will increase in almost straight proportion to rate of depletion of the muscle glycogen. The bottom line is you do not feel energetic & you work out & move less that is not very good for the caloric expenditure & basal metabolic rate

Depletion of the muscle glycogen will lead to the muscle atrophy. This happens just because the muscle glycogen is a fuel of option for muscle during movement. Also there is always fuel mix, however without any muscle glycogen, muscle fibers, which contract, even at the rest to keep muscle tone, will contract less when the glycogen is not available in muscle. Depletion of the muscle glycogen as well causes you to work out & move less than the normal that leads to the muscle loss and inability to keep adequate muscle tone.
