Sick of this...
It seems so ridiculous to me when I read articles by so-called
professionals. They always talk about how studies have shown low carb to reduce lipid profiles and increase good cholesterol and how people lose significant fat, then, a big BUT! in the next paragraph all this talk about how it might not be heart healthy because it doesn't follow AMA standards and blah blah blah. Are they listening to themselves? It's like saying a bullet-proof jacket will stop bullets, but we can't be sure because bullets kill people. Sorry, had to vent, RSG |

Sorry, had to vent, RSG Depends upon the "Professioal", whatever that term means. The Atkins approach went directly against the old American Heart Association recommendations to the US Government for a "Heart Healthy" diet in about the 1970's. So, this Low Carb stuff has had a long history of being "Against the Grain" of the early cardiologists... and Atkins was especially bad because he went against the cardiologists offical theme. At this stage, people are compelled to acknowledge that the Low Carb diet is not officially sanctioned.... even though it seems to work to loose weight. If it isn't acknowledged that it doesn't meet the guidelines for "XYZ Heart Recommendations", then instantly there are comments on how it doesn't meet "XYZ Heart Recommendations" by some of the readers. The price of going against the grain is eternally watching your back for snipers. And snipers don't need to have original thoughts. Jim |

Sorry, had to vent, RSG Gee, last time I checked, the professionals weren't evening acknowledging that LC improved lipids or resulted in weight loss. Sounds like an improvement to me, you gotta start somewhere. |
