First, let us explain what low-carb and high-carb diets are.
Low-carb diets are those with less than 26% of the total calories consumed and high-carb diets with more than 45% of total calories consumed.
Low-carb diets are considered to be mainly effective as, low-carb diets work by inducing ketosis, but the level of ketosis varies among individuals. (Source: National Library of Medicine)

Low-carb diets include fruits, vegetables, and grains which are very low in calories and high in protein and fat.
High-carb diets include foods high in fiber and water content but low in fat, such as grains, fruits, vegetables, and low-fat dairy products.
The right diet for an individual depends on their health needs and goals, physical activity level, and food preferences.
People with diabetes may not benefit from low-carb diets since they may need more carbohydrates to control their blood sugar levels.
A diet that is too low or too high in carbohydrates may lead to fatigue, weakness, weight gain, or poor metabolic health.
