    In the past ten years, low-carbohydrate diets have become
    twice as popular. Research indicates that adopting a
    low-carb lifestyle can significantly enhance overall
    health and may even help manage or reverse type 2 diabetes.
    However, there are still doubts about the nutritional
    adequacy of these diets. Critics contend that cutting
    down on carbohydrates may result in excessive intake
    of protein or fat, while leading to a lack of essential
    nutrients.

    That misconception has been put to rest with a new
    study in Frontiers in Nutrition, which demonstrated
    that well-constructed low-carb eating patterns can meet,
    and sometimes even safely exceed, people’s nutrient needs.g

    . . .

    I've been very low carb for about ten years now.
    Still alive - and considerably thinner that I
    used to be. NO breads/cookies/pastas. Maybe ONE
    little high-cocoa square - Ghirardelli sells bags
    of those in the USA. Add some nuts.

    However SOME vitamin supps may be useful. Things
    like folic acid are almost entirely found in
    veggies, oft starch-heavy veggies. A B-Complex
    once or twice a week seems to compensate. Throw
    in the occasional 'E' and B-12. It does not hurt
    to add an egg a day either - there is enough good
    stuff in them to grow a whole chicken after all :-)

    Otherwise, try to control 'fats'. If you buy KFC,
    peel the skins off (it's still good). Try beef
    hot-dogs instead of pork. Alternate with some
    fish. Think turkey & cheese, not roast beef
    and salami.
