Low carb diets
Lady o' the house wrote:
I started low carbing 2 months ago because I didn't feel good. I was a 'pasta and pretzel queen' and I was hungry all the time. My brother has lost about 50 pounds on the Atkins diet and he persuaded me to try it. I definitely feel better eating fewer carbs and I have lost 16 pounds. Low carbing may not work for everyone but it's working for me. If you are interested in first reading about low carb dieting (I did so before starting), check out Dr. Atkins' New Diet Revolution or one of the other low carb diet books (you can find titles on Amazon.com---just search for low carb diet). No, don't check out Atkins book, it's a piece of ****. Get Protein Power by the Eades. It only has one or two errors in it. Lyle Linda wrote in message ... I'm such a skeptic about diet and nutritional claims (because so many are bogus) but am interested in this Low carb mania that seems to be popular these days. I notice that in the supermarkets there are new products touting themselves as "Low Carb" with the insinuation that that will help with weight control. As I understand it, low carb foods tend to lessen the "amplitude" of blood insulin levels which can cause hunger signals and consequently cause a person to eat more. If that's true, isn't the bottom line STILL calories "in" versus calories "out" or is there something else that the low carb diet does? -- Please post and reply to |
