Low Carb Facts

It is important that anyone with a medical condition or who is pregnant should consult their doctor before starting a low carb diet (for instance, diabetics may find it reduces or even eliminates their need for insulin).

Why low carb?

Many people who have had little success in controlling their weight with low calorie, very low calorie and low fat diets have discovered that restricting carbohydrate is a far more effective method of both losing excess weight and keeping it off. They also report additional advantages: they eat more, the food they are allowed is more palatable, and they no longer suffer the hunger pangs, lack of energy, weakness, headaches, cravings and feelings of control and deprivation frequently experienced with calorie/fat restriction. A further plus is that there is generally no need to weigh foods or restrict portion sizes.

Food pyramid/healthy eating guidelines However, many researchers and clinicians believe that reducing the level of carbohydrates in our diet is healthy eating for everyone, not just for those who need to lose weight. In the US, the Food Pyramid (other countries have 'healthy eating guidelines' or similar, with similar dietary advice) is under review and Dr Stuart Trager of the Atkins Physicians Council has briefed the US Government on a proposed additional way of healthy eating called the Atkins Lifestyle Food Guide Pyramid. This version of healthy eating changes the emphasis from a carbohydrate-rich, low fat diet to a diet based on protein foods and vegetables, fruits, vegetable and seed oils, cheese, dairy foods, nuts and legumes, with a small amount of grains such as barley, oats and brown rice at the top of the pyramid. It stresses that everyone has to find their own carbohydrate level in order to achieve and maintain a healthy weight. The Atkins Pyramid has an additional triangle beside the pyramid which shows how food options can be increased as long as you take the additional exercise your particular metabolism needs to handle them without gaining weight
