Low carb diets
I'm such a skeptic about diet and nutritional claims (because so many are bogus) but am interested in this Low carb mania that seems to be popular these days. I notice that in the supermarkets there are new products touting themselves as "Low Carb" with the insinuation that that will help with weight control. As I understand it, low carb foods tend to lessen the "amplitude" of blood insulin levels which can cause hunger signals and consequently cause a person to eat more. If that's true, isn't the bottom line STILL calories "in" versus calories "out" or is there something else that the low carb diet does? -- Please post and reply to |
