Heart health - The latest findings on low carb diets
Whenever the media report on the latest controversy or study about low carb diets they always seem to slip in a quick shot of a frying pan that's loaded with meat sizzling in a puddle of grease. Apparently that's a widely accepted notion of what constitutes a low carb diet: a pile of bacon, a couple of pork chops, a t-bone steak...and you're good!
If mainstream dieticians and doctors really believe that a low carb diet consists of nothing but bacon, chops and steak for every meal, it's no wonder they warn that the diet courts heart disease. Eat like that for a couple of years and heart disease will be the least of your health worries.
What's missing from the equation is balance. Yep, that simple, age-old advice: Eat a balanced diet. And add to that: No need to avoid all carbohydrates. Avoid the junky carbs and the high glycemic carbs.
And what will be the results of following those two dietary maxims? For the answer, just pick up the latest issue of the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM).
