Using these terms, there are nine basic color patterns are recognized in ferrets: 1  Blaze: can have any color coat (other than white) and has a long white blaze extending from the top of the head down the back of the neck. 2  Mitt: can have any coat color (except white) and will have a white bib and white feet.
The idea behind the low-carb diet is that decreasing carbs lower insulin levels, which causes the body to burn stored fat for energy and ultimately leads to weight loss. In general, a low-carb diet focuses on proteins, including meat, poultry, fish and eggs, and some nonstarchy vegetables.
Low-carb diets also have benefits that go way beyond just weight loss. They lower blood sugar, blood pressure and triglycerides. They raise HDL (the good) and improve the pattern of LDL (the bad) cholesterol (4, 5). Low-carb diets cause more weight loss and improve health more than the calorie restricted, low-fat diet still recommended by many people. This is pretty much a scientific fact at this point (6, 7, 8).
