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.
