I don't think so.
People who are obese and lose weight through a low carb diet - good for them - but there is no indication that a person at a healthy weight eating a healthy diet should go on such a diet.
A healthy person eating a healthy diet should get the majority of their calories from carbohydrates.
Our metabolism is set up on a molecular basis to consume carbohydrates as our primary energy source.
“Because of one dead Doctor and a fad diet?”
Oh grow up. There’s more than one dr who admits this is a healthier way of eating. There are children who are prescribed such a diet for seizure control. You’re mentality is outdated & proven false.
The empirical data on weight gain and diabetes over the last 30 years of following your advice would seem to prove otherwise. Check out the paleolithic diet to see how humankind naturally should eat.
Our metabolism may be set up to burn carbs efficiently; that doesn't mean that's the healthiest way to eat.
That’s funny.
I haven’t had carbs (except for the minuscule amount found in eggs) in years.
I’m healthier and have more energy than I can remember. I am burning fat for fuel now, not sugar. And I have none of the insulin issues that are rampant in our society.
One can make the argument that since we’ve moved to promoting more and more “starches”/carbs, our obesity problem has exploded.
You do realize that man lived and survived centuries before any grain was ever raised,right? We were not made to survive on carbs and our metabolisms were not set up to do that.
