if your suffering from joint pain (would it be gout?) then a low carb
way of dieting i find tends to aggravate that condition. it may just be that my protein intake was way very high but it was definately the low carb diet i went on that triggered severe gout in me a few years back. |

Because with very low carbs the only foods left are higher fat, thus higher calorie, foods. There are also vegetables, of which you could eat a lot! For example, cabbage, 5 g of carbs per cup. Or spinach, which is nearly calorie free, etc. It's hard to imagine munching on spinach and cabbage as main snacks for years at a time though. But your point is well taken. doug |

Veggie? And even if you eat high fat foods, just don't eat so much. I've done low cal, low carb many, many times. |

Years at a time? If the objective is to low weight (the main reason for a low cal diet) then there is no need to do it for years at a time. Perhaps you need to lose the notion that low carb means high calorie. It's not true. |
