Verbal attack on Low Carb'ng
Hi
I read an article(http://www.xposed.com/health/nutriti...arb_trend.aspx) that spoke about pasta and how it(companies) is fighting back against low carbing..which is OK. But, I find one quote to be disturbing and probably incorrect--I know it is for me anyway--it goes: "How is it that it can be called a low-carb diet when in fact it is a dangerous high-fat diet? How can that happen in our culture?" railed K. Dun Gifford, president of the Oldways Preservation Trust, the Boston-based food issues think tank that organized the event." I don't know about others, but I do not find that the foods I eat are any more high fat than those who are not low carbing.It's not like we go out of the way to eat fat, but, I would rather think we have a handle on what we eat and we can choose to eat foods that are not fat free. Heck, we can also choose to eat fat free foods if we want to. I do and it is fine with me. For example, I drink the low carb milk and the variety I like best is the low fat version....not a bad thing because it is low fat, I just happen to like it best. I think that some people are really stretching this food thing and the right of someone to choose to know what they are eating a bit out of control....and to be part of a "Boston-based food issues think tank" no less. Well, I just wanted to share the idea and article. (here is the website of the organization http://www.oldwayspt.org/ ). Sure, I don't eat ketchup, drink cranberry juice, both of which need so much sugar to be palatable, but does that make me part of a fad diet? So what if I eat bread that is classified low carb--maybe the slices are 50% thinner than 'regular' bread--does that make it 'bad'? Having been on low/almost no-fat for an extended period of time during which I lost quite a bit of arm and leg muscle, I find the extremes to be problems. However, blending what I consider to be the best of foods out there, which may include low carb components, not to be bad thing. I have been doing low carb since July 22nd and find it not to be a challenge to stay on induction at all. In fact, it is hard to move from it as I do not have really good self control! Five carbs a a week increase is not easy to pull off. Probably should not be as touchy. FWIW. Joe ps, I know about the cranberry and ketchup as I made a batch of each--once--and was so amazed at how much sugar it took to make them both...I told .my dad, who was into maturity onset diabetes and into cranberry juice, because it was 'good for the kidneys' that it was not so good for the diabetes....He also liked ketchup on his hamburgers and french fries(couldn't blame him there)....he passed away at 80 with his first and only heart attack. He enjoyed food and I am glad he did. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 100,000 Newsgroups ---= East/West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =--- |

My daily nutrient intake hasn't really changed regarding fat or protein.
It's only that I've replaced all the high-carb foods with LC choices. But I've only been an a "diet" once before in my life and it was so low-calorie (500/day) that I ended up looking like a concentration camp survivor due to muscle loss. I'm actually at a lower body weight right now than I was after that diet but I certainly look and feel a lot healthier. on Thu, 04 Nov 2004 07:12:35 -0500, Papa Joe wrote: I don't know about others, but I do not find that the foods I eat are any more high fat than those who are not low carbing.It's not like we go out of the way to eat fat, but, I would rather think we have a handle on what we eat and we can choose to eat foods that are not fat free.

That's very different from saturated fats (which I try to limit) or trans-fats (which I try to avoid completely). I know that many low-carbers are not concerned about the amount of fat, but I am still skeptical about that. MaryL |

I find that I agree with Roger Zoul on much of this. He makes a very good
rebuttal. I would add that in addition to liking fat and seeking the satiety that fat can produce, one (like myself) may believe that high fat leads to good health in addition to loss of excess weight. If one cuts carbs sharply, and then researches and chooses a prudent protein level, fat is the only way to get the additional calories needed.

Hi
I am not sure if I agree that low carb means high fat. While it, in reality could be, it is not necessarily so. Probably one who is not in continuous ketosis would either need fat or more carbs to satisfy the energy requirements, one who is in ketosis gets the fat elsewhere. However, one could eat low carb foods and lay off the fat and still exist......at least I think so! I don't eat a high fat diet and I am a low carb individual...granted for only 4 months or so, but, still, it is a low carb diet for me. I do not shun fat but do not look for it either. FWIW.

What data says that a "balanced" high fat diet is bad for our health. Did
some miss the recent info that said that olive oil IMPROVES our heart health. From what I have read over the past few years the emphasis should be on balanced fat intake, not low fat.
