Low Carb Diets Low Carb Diets Getting Started Health and Nutrition Recipes From Laura Dolson, your Guide to Low Carb Diets If you pay attention to health stories in the news, you probably saw this one last week, telling us of a study that "proved" that low-carbers who eat meat die at a greater rate than those eating plants. This is the type of thing that drives me crazy, because when you actually read the study, you discover something entirely different. This week I take a look at the study, and then at the response of one of low-carb's most outspoken critics. Of course, plants have lots of good things for us, and I also have lists of low-carb veggies and fruits. Enjoy delicious low-carb food this week! Laura Low-Carb Eating: Meat vs Plants The study is widely reported to mean that an "animal-based low-carb diet" increases mortality. But guess what? In this study I'd be both a "plant-based" AND an "animal-based" low-carb eater, and probably most of you would be as well. Dean Ornish Swings and Misses Dean Ornish is perhaps the chief proponent of a high-carb, low-fat diet. He says the study proves that "The Atkins Diet Increases All-Cause Mortality". I tell why he's waay off-base. Low-Carb Vegetable List Eating a variety of vegetables is certainly good for us! Here's a list, in order from least to most carbs, with links to more information, including carbs, nutrition, and recipes. Low-Carb Fruit List Here's a similar list for fruit - the links include glycemic index and load.
