A diet low in carbohydrates limits the intake of this type of macronutrient. Carbohydrates are the main source of energy in a diet and can be classified into two different types. Simple carbs provide immediate energy and are mainly found in sugars, such as those contained in fruits, while complex carbs, found in vegetables, cereals and legumes, provide a sustained source of energy throughout the day.
There are studies that indicate that genetics are, in part, responsible for how easy or hard it is to lose weight. In the specific case of a low-carb diet, it has been shown that variants in the FTO gene correlate with a greater predisposition to lose weight with this type of diet.
