The fact that there are enemies of the low-carb plan does not surprise me. After all, it is the total opposite of the "food pyramid" scheme that the medical community has been pushing on us for the past few decades. But I say that if there was hard proof that the low-carb approach was harmful, we would be treated to screaming headlines all across America.
True, the low-carb plan can be taken to an extreme, and like all things taken to an extreme, it can be harmful to your health. I ensure that I get sufficient multivitamins and oxidants to supplement my diet and any reputable low-carb plan preaches the same. And I do have carbs! I just don't get my carbs from soda, pies, cakes, ice cream and cookies, etc., and I don't see anything wrong with that.
BTW, I don't care what Atkins or any of the other low-carb gurus say about vegetables and fruit. I eat plenty of them, regardless of carb content. I even drink beer and wine because they are made with real, natural ingredients. I just stay away from all the refined and processed supermarket crap.
Then you are probably a lot closer to the moderate carb/protein, healthy diet that most of us professionals advocate.
Don't be afraid, come over to the dark side;)
