"No more sugar, pasta and bread? But those are, like, my favorite foods!" :(
Compelling science suggests that low carb might just be the best type of diet for many folks out there, particularly those battling serious obesity, diabetes or other aspects of the so-called "metabolic syndrome."
At the same time, living low carb in our "high carb" world ain't easy… the message of this diet clashes mightily with much of the received wisdom about what constitutes "healthy" eating.
For instance, we've all been taught that eating fat will make us fat and clog our arteries. Yet dietary fat serves as the primary fuel on properly formulated low carb diets.
Likewise, we've been told we need to eat SOME carbs -- the so-called "good carbs" -- for energy. Most of us agree that ice cream and potato chips aren't great. But isn't it extreme to put the kibosh on wild rice and whole grain bread?
And that's just the tip of the iceberg.
Few of us want to be "dietary rebels." Yet we DO want to be healthier and leaner.
Thus, we face a paradox. If low carb is the way to go, as the science seems to suggest, then how do we navigate our confusing environment?
