1. Carbohydrate -- Diets
   Some problems have been cited for the long term effects of a no-carbohydrate diet for some individuals. Athletes, for instance, or those that participate in high intensity activities, will have a considerable reduction in performance, due to having little to no glycogen supplies stored in muscle tissue. Additionally, nephrotoxicity may occur, particularly in persons that are not very well hydrated.
2. Carbohydrate -- Carbohydrates
   Mass., Oct. 14 /PRNewswire/ -- One of the most controversial aspects of low-carbohydrate diets such as the Atkins Nutritional Approach™ is their rejection of the tyranny of calorie counting. Critics of these plans claim that the reason people lose weight on low-carb diets is the same reason they lose weight on any other diet: they actually consume fewer calories, presumably because they are bored with monotony of all that steak. Now, a new study by Harvard researchers suggests that these critics are wrong and that people lose at least as much weight on a low-carbohydrate diet than those on a low-fat diet, even when they consume significantly more calories every day.
3. Atkins Diet -- Carbohydrates
   The Atkins Diet has returned to the spotlight with the resurgence in the popularity of such low carbohydrate diets as "Protein Power", "The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet", and Barry Sears' "Enter the Zone". But clearly this man is no stranger to the dieting industry. A former cardiologist, his first book "Dr Atkins' Diet Revolution", was released way back in 1972. And it differs little from his most recent offering.

5. Zone Diet -- Carbohydrates
   The main difference between the Zone Diet and Atkins is the more uniform diet, and the allowance of "good carbs". Atkins tries to get you to voluntarily put your body into ketosis. Ketosis is not a natural state and can be very hard on your body. The Zone Diet minimizes this risk by keeping carbohydrates in your diet, the Zone just limits the types of carbohydrates you consume.

7. Diabetic Diet -- Carbohydrates

One way someone can follow a good diabetic diet is to follow some of the low carb diets that were popular some years back. Many of these diets either eliminated or limited carbohydrates. There are also many different diabetic cookbooks for those with this condition that can help a person live a happier, healthier life.
8. Carbohydrate -- Carbohydrate Loading
   Carbohydrate loading or Glycogen loading is a concept derived from research published in Sweden by Drs. Saltin and Hermanson in 1967. Their work lead to a deluge of muscle glycogen and endurance performance studies throughout the world. Using muscle biopsy techniques they studied athletes under a variety of dietary and athletic endurance protocols. It was shown that significant increases in muscle glycogen (the muscle storage form of glucose) could be achieved by increasing the carbohydrate intake over several hours to days before endurance performances.
9. Carbohydrate -- Total Carbohydrate
   Sugars: Also listed under Total Carbohydrate on food labels, sugars are found in most foods. However, the Nutrition Facts label doesn't make the distinction between natural sugars and added sugars. Natural sugars are found in many foods, including fruit and dairy products. Snack foods, candy, and soda often have large amounts of added sugars. To find out if a food has added sugar, you need to look at the ingredient list for sugar, corn syrup or sweetener, dextrose, fructose, honey, or molasses, to name just a few. Avoid products that have sugar or other sweeteners high on the ingredient list.
10. Carbohydrate -- Proteins
    DURHAM, N.C. – The high-protein, low-carbohydrate diet popularized by Dr. Robert Atkins has been the subject of heated debate in medical circles for three decades. Now, preliminary research findings at Duke University Medical Center show that a low-carbohydrate diet can indeed lead to significant and sustained weight loss.
