Low Carb Diets Not Dangerous After All?
Well, it appears the long debate over whether lower carb, higher fat diets are dangerous is over - well at least as they relate to heart health, that is. New studies are showing that a following of women over the past two decades who ate lower carb, higher fat diets, did not increase their risk of heart disease.
The controversial “Atkins Diet” has long been scrutinized for it’s safety, and while some people do take it to an extreme, as long as common sense is used on a low carb diet, it should be very safe for you to follow. This means, don’t eat a pound of bacon and cheese every day.
You still want to maintain your colon health, and eating that way is only going to clog you up and put you in pain, instead of the cleansing and high fiber benefits of fiber rich food consumption.
You should still eat your veggies, and get your fiber, and don’t regard fruit as if it’s the devil. You should still eat fruit, but maybe just restrict fruit to the first thing in the morning, by itself, not combined with other proteins, and then eat your veggies the rest of the day.
I’m glad it’s been concluded the low carb diet is not hazardous to your health (like I said, unless you take it to extremes), because this is actually one of my favorite diets to follow, and I notice I feel my best when I restrict my carbs, even if they are whole grains or whole wheat.
