If you're on a diet or just trying to eat healthier, low-carb eating may just be what you're looking for. If you haven't already noticed, low-carb recipes have been seeing a surge in popularity over the past few years.
It seems as if food science is starting to see some of the downfalls of eating too many carbs. High-carb diets often lead to spikes in blood sugar and eventually leading fat to be stored in cells instead of being used as energy. Low-carb diets however, help to keep your blood sugar and energy stable, thus there is no need for excess fat to be stored in your cells.
