Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe for you?
Even though there is evidence that indicates that low carbohydrate diets can help with your diet, some of this some research has resulted in arguments between nutrition gurus, and their safety has been the cause of great debate
Remember, one fact that is frequently overlooked, it is very hard (although not totally impossible) for vegetarians to adopt a reduced carbohydrate diet.
Flavonoid foods
