Do Long-Term, Low-Carb Diets Cause Early...

Dr. Stephen Cabral
About this episode
Low-carb diets might help you lose weight… but at what cost?
 
 
While low-carb and keto-style diets may offer short-term results for weight loss and body transformation, the latest research shows that these approaches can come with serious long-term health consequences.
 
 
In this episode, I want to break down two major studies that shed light on the potential dangers of restricting carbs for too long—and what balanced eating really looks like for longevity.
 
 
Join me on today's Cabral Concept 3373 as we discover if long-term, low-carb diets cause early death. Enjoy the show, and let me know what you thought.
