When you go on a low or high carb diet, you don't know unless you've been tested how your particular blood, metabolic, and body type will react to a specific diet unless you have a medical professional test your cholesterol, glucose, insulin and blood-pressure levels while you're on the specific diet. Ask yourself and your doctor this question: "Why is the over-all success rate for low-carb and other types of diets so similar? Could it be that different body types respond individually to diets according to their genetic signatures and expressions as well as lifestyles and exercise patterns?"

Are you getting bored with eating the foods on the diet you chose? Are you staying too long on a low carb diet or not long enough? Or are you experiencing a stressful metabolic state? Do you feel nauseaus or are going into ketosis from your diet? What's the diet like long range? Or would you rather stick to a diet that's pretty much balanced and considered moderate as far as carbs? It all depends on how your individual body reacts to which amount of carbs in what type of balance.
