Warning — Even if you take low-carb, you need to control fat intake. I would suggest the healthy fats in nuts and avocado, but avoid binge!

low-carb is more effective in obesity reduction.

“One of the main reasons for this is that low-carb diets lead to drastically reduced appetite. People start eating fewer calories without trying (1617).” — this statement seems to work for me.

Another reason — probably low-carb diets also cause significant water loss. Excess bloat tends to go away in the first week or two (21).

When you eat a food (like refined grain) that spikes blood sugar fast, it tends to lead to a drop in blood sugar a few hours later. When that happens, you get cravings for another high-carb snack. This is also known as the “blood sugar roller coaster.”
