Mike Takes on the U.S. Government Pt 2

Yesterday I went postal on a U.S. Government report that was supposedly smashing diet myths. Today we’ll wrap up yesterday’s post by looking at the recommendations from that report. Again my comments are in bold.

Tip: High-protein/low-carbohydrate diets are often low in calories because food choices are strictly limited, so they may cause short-term weight loss (Adopting a long term lower carbohydrate nutritional plan is not that restricting. At first when your carbs are very low, yes you are restricted, but as time goes on you increase your calories and introduce more carbohydrates – just not lots of starches or sugars) . But a reduced-calorie eating plan that includes recommended amounts of carbohydrate, protein, and fat will also allow you to lose weight (The recommended amount of carbohdyrates is too high for a good weight loss plan. Yes, you will lose weight with this type of eating but no, it isn’t your best (or fastest option)). By following a balanced eating plan, you will not have to stop eating whole classes of foods, such as whole grains, fruits, and vegetables—and miss the key nutrients they contain. You may also find it easier to stick with a diet or eating plan that includes a greater variety of foods (When you correctly adopt a lower carbohydrate eating plan you don’t stop eating fruits OR vegetables. The risk of nutrient deficiency with low carb diets is merely speculation by low carb haters. No study has shown nutrient deficiencies associated with lower carb eating).
