How do you fatten up a pig? You feed him corn which is high in carbohydrates.
A focused test group.
Milk and butter and cheese.....Oh yes!!
What if you are regularly doing high cardio exercises? I run probably 40 - 60 miles a week, and I find that if I cut too many carbs out, I lose energy on long runs.
Sshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, don’t tell the anti-dairy vegan crowd that dairy products are actually beneficial. Before they string you up they will show you photos of poor suffering cows forced to produce milk.
I wish they would list the actual foods eaten. I am on a low carb diet for health reasons and it is difficult to find things without carbs. I had no idea until I started reading labels that yogurt has a ton of carbs. I tend to think of carbs as bread, potatotes and corn.
“The China Study” by Thomas Campbell says, with significant data to back it up, that such a diet will kill you.
Milk has carbs. :( I have had to severly restrict my milk since going on a low carb diet for my health.
I’ve been trying the Paleo/Primal diet. Lean protein, green leafy vegetables, and fruits. The diet calls for basically no dairy and no grain carbs. I’ve cheated a little on the dairy and kept grains to a minimum. So far I’ve lost 17 lbs. over a month. I ride an exercise bike 60 minutes a day-about 16 miles and do a little walking, but not much. I’m feeling pretty good and my blood sugar numbers are excellent (don’t have diabetes, but check due to weight and familial issues).
yep.
Have you tried 8th Continent light vanilla soy milk? It has about half the carbs of cow’s milk. Granted, it’s not as good, but...It’s sometimes hard to find though and only that brand’s light has the lower carbs, at least that I’ve found.
The politically incorrect Atkins diet is correct.
Never mind what the politically correct diet dictators tell you. They lie. They're in it for the donations.
Feed your kids real food. The politically correct diet is screwing them up in all kinds of ways. We fed our kids real food, and they're running circles around all the others.
Carbs are most often white. Cheese is an exception, because it can be white, but it's partially "digested" already.
No I haven’t tried it but I don’t eat soy products if I can help it. (I know there is soy in a lot of things) It contains a natural chemical that mimics estrogen.
My guess is if you run 40-60 miles a week, you aren’t looking to lose weight? You are probably at a healthy body weight? If you do a lot of aerobic/cardio activity...you do need carbs for quick fuel for your cells, and you will in turn burn up those carbs/glucose.
Also, glucose is the preferred source of fuel for your brain. Low carb does not mean “no carbs.”
I thought that too but apples have carbs. Carrots are high in carbs. I can still eat them but I have to count carbs. I get 150g of carbs a day. 30 for breakfast, 45 for lunch and dinner and 30 for snack.
Whole grain carbs are good because of the roughage. It helps flush things out.
