This\nincludes&nbsp;sugar, sugary drinks, fruit juices, pizzas, white bread, french\nfries, pastries and most unhealthy snacks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There is also an obvious\nreduction in variety when you eliminate most high-carb foods, especially given\nthat wheat,&nbsp;corn&nbsp;and sugar are in almost all&nbsp;processed foods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It is well known that increased\nfood variety can drive increased calorie intake. Many of\nthese foods are also highly rewarding, and the reward value of foods can impact\nhow many calories we end up eating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So, reduced food variety and reduced intake of highly rewarding junk foods should both contribute to a reduced calorie intake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The bottom line is, low carb diets exclude many foods that are highly rewarding and extremely fattening. These diets also have less food variety, which may lead to reduced calorie intake <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Low carb diets automatically exclude some of the world\u2019s most&nbsp;fattening&nbsp;junk foods.
