And so the low-carb diet was born, popping up in a host of variations throughout history (the Atkins Diet, for example). But not all carbs are created equal; just as there are good fats and bad fats, there are good carbs and bad carbs. A sensible approach to a low-carb diet has been developed and tested by Dr David Unwin, a GP in Southport, who tweets as @lowcarbGP. This is because we each have a different fat threshold – the point at which we start getting blood sugar problems. Try a low-carb diet for a fortnight and plenty of exercise and see if that helps.
