There are any number
of ways to lose weight out there, but for many men and women, there's one
big enemy standing in their way: carbs.
Carbs, overwhelmingly, are delicious, but unless you're literally a marathon runner, it often feels like every french fry or slice of sourdough bread is going straight into your gut and staying there. But researchers may be working toward a solution that combines the best of both worlds: a miracle pill that mimics the health benefits of a ketogenic diet without forcing you to end your loving relationship with carbs.

It's important to note, right away, that this research is
in its infancy—if you were looking for an excuse to go wild on a plate of pasta
tonight, this ain't it (but there are some healthy options, just in case).
