Carbohydrate-rich diet will lead to increase in Acetyl CoA production, which will lead to synthesis of fats in body. These fats are endogenous fat, which are transpoed in the form of VLDL. ADDITIONAL EDGE: When exogenous fat (fat directly from diet) is taken then it is transpoed in the form of chylomicrons. Atkin's diet is a weight loss diet which is low in calorie and also low in carbohydrates. It was originally promoted by the physician Dr. Robe C. Atkins.
