The Schwarzbein Principle diet is a low-carbohydrate, high-protein weight loss diet.
It is based on a book by Diana Schwarzbein, MD, which was originally published in 1999. The main strategy of the diet is to eliminate or reduce "bad carbs," or carbohydrates that have a "high glycemic index." High glycemic index foods raise blood sugar levels quickly after the food is eaten.
The Schwarzbein Priniciple diet is used for weight loss, but there is no good scientific evidence to support its use.
