constipation, fatigue, and irritability.

disorders and conditions prevent successful weight loss. These include food and
carbohydrate hypersensitivity, hormonal imbalance, and Metabolic Syndrome. There

protein, and fruits. Dieters can have protein in the form of milk and dairy
products, meat, and high-protein vegetables. Foods that contain fat are allowed,

purported health benefits. Dieters should eat different fruits that are rich in
minerals and vitamins and avoid products that contain artificial flavors,
sweeteners, and preservatives. There are some celebrity low-carb diet as well. Such
