To Be or Not To Be: Low Carb...
They are a carbohydrate, but according to the FDA, sugar alcohols have a very small impact on blood sugar levels and insulin release in the body. They are incompletely absorbed from the small intestine into the blood and as a result, they have a lesser impact on blood glucose levels. Some of the polyol that is not absorbed into the blood is broken down into fatty acids in the large intestine and sugar alcohols do contain calories, about three-fourths as many as sugar. Sugar alcohols are alcohols that are derived from sugar molecules. Since they are incompletely absorbed by the intestine, over-consumption may produce a laxative effect in some people.

The Truth About Weight Loss: The 6 Biggest Myths About Dieting!
More complex foods such as starchy carbohydrates become increasingly more difficult to fully take through the digestive process, without a 'diminished returns' effect occurring and fat storage beginning. If you get sufficiently dehydrated, your electrolyte balance will get out of whack, your cells will be starved of the fluids they need, and you could die. For this reason, the old sweatbox and sauna are of no use for losing real weight. Neither are their modern high-tech equivalents, such as body wraps and plastic sweat suits, no matter how many people swear by them. Dehydration or progressive dehydration can occur if you fail to rehydrate yourself sufficiently after every workout.

Dropping The Carbs - The Pros and Cons of Ketogenic Dieting
One of the arguments for regular grain consumption is the necessary vitamins and minerals they contain, not to mention the essential fibre for our digestive tract. Most animals in large factory farming business are over-fed, over medicated cripples and surely this meat can't be entirely healthy. Foods like bacon also contain a large number of hazardous preservative chemicals that sap at our besieged immune systems. Once again, not all proteins are created equal. When considering meat products we have to remember what state the animal it came from was in when it was slaughtered.
