Struggling with weight loss? Ever since Dr. Atkins introduced his revolutionary diet, low-carb regimens have been all the rage. These diets promise that you can lose weight, while still enjoying many of the foods you love (T-Bone steak anyone?). But some have warned that the low-carb craze isn’t all that it’s cracked up to be. What should we be aware of when considering a farewell to pasta?

Explanation:
It’s about time there has been some real scienceinvolved in the study of low carb. I think the low carb diet is great. But I am real tired of reading idiots that have never studied the subject and post their opinion everywhere. Feinman teaches at a medical school but most important has done real research. Why haven’t we heard from him until now? Anyway, thank heavens a real medical researcher has finally shown up on the diet scene and is reporting his results. Hopefully we will hear more from him!

Dr. Feinman has been publishing for years on this topic in medical journals. This isn't new stuff. But there are still many medical doctors who recommend a low- fat , high-carb diet . That's why it's important to educate yourself, take responsibility for your own health , and find a doctor who will listen to what you know about your body. Perhaps that's why Dr. Feinman is "taking it to the streets", so that we can find out the truth for ourselves.

Low Carb Diets Do Not Promote Long Term Health

How Do You Know Low-Carb Isn't For The Long-Term?
How can you so cavalierly dismiss low-carb diets making the assumption that they are not good for the long-term? I've been eating low-carb, defined as less than 50g carbs daily (many times lower than that!), for over four years now. If eating this way long-term is supposed to be harming me in some way, then when will I have the good fortune of seeing it happen? All I know is at the age of 36 I am more active and healthy than I have ever been in my entire life. And nobody can persuade me that my choice to begin livin' la vida low-carb was the wrong decision for me. It saved my life.
