Sugar was the sole evil in 2000s but in 2010s, low-carb diets gained momentum. Before this decade, people focused more on carbs and missed out on the goodness of protein. And that is how low-carb diets came into being. Including more protein in the diet instead of high carb, people realised that it boosted their immunity and energy levels. Diets like Atkins, Mediterranean and Ketogenic that promote low-carb gained immense popularity, but many people overlooked the importance of carbs and missed out on the essential fiber needed to process the food. Mindlessly eating too much protein can lead to heart issues. So the bottomline is to have controlled portions of protein and wisely pick carbs.
