Pros and cons of a low-carb diet: pounds go away and… hair

You should refuse any useful substances only on the recommendation of a doctor, but this does not stop people who choose a carbohydrate-free diet for weight loss.
As an argument, those losing weight cite the “bad reputation” of carbohydrates, since it is believed that they contribute to weight gain.
But for some reason everyone forgets that it is carbohydrates that provide the body with the energy necessary for life.
This is what the complete rejection of this nutrient threatens.
You will lose weight
Weight loss is certainly a plus, but it occurs due to excess water, not fat, so the weight may soon return, and this is a real minus.
You may have digestive problems.
If you reduce the amount of carbohydrates in your diet, the protein and fat content automatically increases. Where can you get the fiber that is good for digestion? Don't be surprised by a slight feeling of nausea - this is the first sign of an unbalanced diet.
Breathing may become worse
Very often, people who have given up carbohydrates are given away by an unpleasant smell from the mouth, which initially appears due to the removal of excess water, and when the body begins to use fats as a source of energy, the smell of acetone appears.
Hair may fall out
Fortunately, this side effect usually goes away after a couple of months as the body adapts to the new diet.
