The main conditions relate to our body's ability to process insulin.  Our cells need insulin to absorb glucose.  Glucose is the main source of energy for our muscles and other nutrients from foods. When we do not get enough insulin, our body will struggle to use these nutrients. Thus making us go hungry and starving for food.

A problem that can occur if following a low carb diet is that we can become addicted to low-carb starches. As our bodies have less energy to move on, it becomes harder to get rid of stored fat. The body use starches such as potatoes to provide us with energy. The starches can be stored in the form of body fat when we do not get rid of them in an effective way. Besides, our digestive systems are not able to cope with the amount on carbs available in the diet. That is why we tend to leave many carbs un-processed within our bodies. This can lead to build up of toxins in our bodies and cause diabetes, heart disease and cancers. We can besides run out on fuel very fast if we are eating too much starch.

Latter on our brain gets over taxed and this can have an effect on how we function. People who've tried the keto diet report headaches, mood swings, and loss of their energy.

Another issue that. Some people who've tried the low carb diet report that they suffer from health problems. Some of them are joint pain, allergies, memory loss and even some types of cancer. The problem is that while the keto diet is supposed to be good for our health. Some people find that it can also have a detrimental effect on their health when it is not taken in the right way. It can be like cutting out carbohydrates from your diet. As in the same way that diabetics have to cut out certain types of sugars from their diets. Though it may seem like a way to lose weight. It is in fact quite harmful when you do not give your body the nutrition it needs.
