1 DROP FAT

Overweight adults on a carb-based diet lost more fat than those eating equal calories on a carbfree (and joyless, presumably) plan.*

2 BULK UP

Combining your protein with high- GI carbs for a post-gym insulin spike is proven to be your smartest strategy when looking to gain muscle mass.

3 THINK FAST

Researchers found that low-carbers performed worse on memory tests and had slower reaction times a week after starting their diets.
