Summary Introduction
To review:
The logic behind the minimal consumption of carbohydrate for a weight-loss program in humans.
Introduction:
Most of the energy requirement s of the body is met by the glucose molecule. When glucose is not consumed it gets stored as glycogen so that it can be used later by the body. This stored glycogen in liver and muscles may get converted into fats.
