Low-carbohydrate diets or low-carb diets are dietary programs that restrict carbohydrate consumption primarily for weight control. Foods high in digestible carbohydrates are limited or replaced with foods containing a higher percentage of proteins and fats.

The New York Daily News reports that Paris Hilton has been making out with T-Shirt designer Tyler Atkins, 21.

Contrary to what the Atkins Diet advocates, the world's top endurance athletes eat limited amounts of meat and eat a carbohydrate-heavy diet and only have ~6-10% body fat; Kenyan runners obtain 86% of daily calories from vegetable sources and 76.5% percent of daily calories from carbs; two thirds of their protein also comes from vegetable sources.
