Last week the Plain Dealer had an article on the success of low carb over low fat diets in losing weight and lowering cholesterol. Link is here.I'm not sure it's such a great idea to jump on any branded diet plan like the Atkins diet or the South Beach diet without a little bit of research. The low-carb food pyramid is obviously very different from the MyPyramid, released by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) on April 19, 2005.
Good news - cutting back on carbs doesn't mean doing away with grains and veggies. It does mean avoiding starchy vegetables, such as potatoes, corn, and beets, and greens are the low-carb dieter's super-friend.
