I would actually disagree, for many people low carb diets are very tolerable and cutting carbs are often the most efficient place to cut calories. Fats and proteins generally have higher satiety values per calorie, so in terms of hunger management it's effective, and dropping carbs usually doesn't negatively affect people long term.

Unless you're talking about 0 carb diets which are a bit different, since actually going into full blown ketogenesis is questionable...

But 'low' carb can mean many things, and there's nothing wrong with running a fairly low carb diet, scientifically speaking. I always cut exclusively carbohydrates out of my diet when I cut, and I've been doing this for 5+ years now.


What there is good evidence against however is running a low fat diet, which can cause hormonal imbalances if sustained over the long term. Not recommended. Low protein diets aren't recommended either because of muscle wasting.
