Federal diet guidelines to purée low-carb craze
http://www.omaha.com/index.php?u_np=...&u_sid=1107076
Federal diet guidelines to purée low-carb craze THE BOSTON GLOBE BETHESDA, Md. - Americans should ignore trendy low-carbohydrate diets and focus instead on cutting calories by avoiding supersize fast food in favor of lean meats, low-fat dairy products, and fruits and vegetables, according to draft government dietary guidelines. The report, written by 13 independent scientists, is the template for sweeping changes under way in the nation's nutritional policy, which could bring about major shifts in how Americans buy and eat food. The guidelines are rewritten every five years, but the nation's obesity epidemic has given the task greater urgency this year. The scientists, who are advising the federal agriculture and health departments, discussed their report in public for the first time during a meeting Wednesday. In a swipe at in-vogue diets that seek to eliminate single categories of food, the federal panel stated in the report: "The strategy for weight loss is not to focus on the proportions of fat and carbohydrate in the diet." The Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee asserted instead that less food and more exercise are the essential components of a healthy, slimming diet. Recent studies have indicated that low-carb diets reduce weight over the short term, but their long-term staying power has not been proved. *************** The "scientists" who say that you should ignore low-carb diets a Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee: Dr. Janet C.

Federal diet guidelines to purée low-carb craze
Well, congratulations to the group that is writing in the same spirit of
those who led the nation down the road to obesity to begin with. Whereas there is nothing wrong, per se, with their recommendations, they seemed more geared towards prevention of the problems they created rather than curing. The base of the current "food pyramid" consists entirely of high-carb grains, yet they say to avoid sugars. Can someone explain to me (seriously) what the difference, to the body, is between refined sugars and carbohydrates, other than possibly the absorption rate? The one-dimensional approach they have towards diet is, to me, rather uninspiring. |

This energy has to come from somewhere; in this case, from the food's nutritional value. Thus, the faster the food is, the worse it gets. -- Mark Hughes, comprehending the taste of fast food |

If you have arthritis, going gluten-free may or may not help. But it *won't hurt*. I can say that I used to wake up so stiff and sore in the morning I could barely bend over. I had to hobble to the bathroom and all my joints ached. I figured it was all part of getting "old". But on a gluten-free diet I wake up pain-free and flexible, and can immediately leap out of bed and bend over and touch my toes. Or at least I can if I *want* to, though I usually don't. :-) That in addition to all the other good things being gluten-free has done for me, like no more nausea, gastric reflux, and diarrhea. Yeah, what's a sandwich compared to that? -- Debbie |

Eating low fat just doesn't make sense to me and never will. If your body
doesn't get enough fat it will store it eventually IMHO. You need to eat enough fat as far as I am concerned. On top of that, it just tastes good.
