Is a low carb diet good for weight loss?

I'm trying to shed some extra kilos and everyone around me is talking about low carb diets. My friend lost a lot of weight doing it. Is a low carb diet generally good for weight loss and sustainable?

I recently visited a specialist at Apollo Hospital for my health check-up. They clearly said that while low carb diets can help, they're not for everyone and need careful monitoring. Please ask your doctor directly if it's suitable for your body and health conditions.

Yeah, low carb can work for weight loss, especially at the start, because you shed a lot of water weight. But it's not sustainable for everyone. Combine it with regular exercise, like brisk walking or some strength training, if your doctor says it's okay. That's the real game-changer.

I can only share my own experience. My cousin lost a lot of weight on a low-carb diet. But he also changed his whole lifestyle. I'm not a doctor, so I can't say if it's universally good or bad.

I've been on this journey. Low carb can kickstart weight loss, but the key is consistency and finding what works for YOUR body long-term. Don't eliminate all carbs, just focus on complex ones in moderation and reduce processed items. And hydration is super important! It's about a lifestyle change, not a temporary diet.

From a practical standpoint, it can help create a calorie deficit, which is essential for weight loss. But it needs to be done smartly. Ensure you're getting enough nutrients from other sources, otherwise, you might feel unwell. Always talk to a healthcare professional first.

Beta, weight loss is about balance, not just cutting one food group. Our Indian diet has good carbs. Try to reduce maida, sugar. Early morning walks are good. Some people say jeera water helps, but always eat healthy, fresh home food. Consult doctor also.

Honestly, I tried low carb for a bit. Lost weight fast, but then felt super tired and irritable. Switched to portion control and more protein instead. It's better for the long run, I think.
