low carbohydrate diet

The majority of the so called experts in the nutrition and diet industry have declared the low carb high protein diet dangerous.

The obesity rates among Hispanics and Blacks has skyrocketed, the incidence of diabetes among these groups has also skyrocketed, the main reason being their diets consist mainly of carbohydrates and fats, the two don't mix well together, protein and fats do mix well together. Watching your intake of carbohydrates is very important for weight loss. Low carb diets or diets that teach food combining are very effective in weight loss. So lets sort out some of the truths.

The low carb diet is is not dangerous, and has been proven over the years to be safe and extremely effective, Dr Atkins gets credit for this type of diet, but he was not even close to being the innovator, he just brought it mainstream, because the true father of low carb, high protein dates back to 1863, William Banting of England who wrote a little booklet titled "Letter on Corpulence Addressed to the Public", William Banting is considered the father of low carbohydrate dieting. He proved over this over years helping people lose weight without any side effects.

Low carbs, high protein, and high fat actually lowers cholesterol. For one year, researchers at the Veterans Affairs Medical Center in Philadelphia followed 132 obese adults randomised into two groups. One restricted carbohydrate intake to less than 30 grams per day (low-carbohydrate diet); the other restricted caloric intake by 500 calories, with 30 percent of calories from fat (conventional diet). Eighty-three percent of the study group had diabetes or other risk factors for heart disease.

In the low-carb group, triglyceride levels decreased more and HDL ('good') cholesterol levels decreased less than in the low-fat group. (High levels of triglycerides, a fat in the blood, are associated with heart disease.) People with diabetes on the low-carb diet had better control of blood sugar.

In another research study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine involved 120 overweight people followed for six months. Researchers from Duke University found that participants on the low-carb diet lost an average of 26 pounds, compared to an average of 14 pounds lost by those on the low-fat diet The low-carbohydrate group had more beneficial changes in blood triglyceride levels and HDL cholesterol levels than the low-fat diet group. In this study, the low-carb diet groups also received vitamins and other nutritional supplements.
