Low Carb Diets - Let's Blow Up the Bread Basket

In recent news, unsettling health notes are starting to surface in the Diet World.  Carb restricted diets have now been associated with kidney damage, heart damage, mood problems and they may even be linked to a few deaths.

Diet Bites received a comment on the low carb diets from reader Jill who found them very troubling.  She was seeking answers to the carb madness.  Jill's example detailed a luncheon she had with two friends who were carb dieting.

Both ordered cheeseburgers without the bun.  Jill's comment: "I couldn't believe that these two highly intelligent people were choosing fatty meat and cheese and were throwing away a bun that contained minimal fat and calories.  I am still reeling from the incident. Furthermore, I've never heard of anyone getting fatty arteries from eating bread, but I have heard of people developing heart problems due to fatty meat and cheese consumption. Can you please explain to me why two smart ladies have fallen into the crazy madness of  low carb dieting?" ~ Signed, Confused Jill

This was our response to reader Jill: "Jill, unfortunately there is a bit of madness to low carb dieting BUT there are also some very positive things about low carb diets.  The bottom line is the battle of  simple and complex carbs. Simple carbs include donuts, cookies, cakes, and pies. When the dieter eliminates these foods from their diet, good things happen in the body, on the weight loss scales, and enhance the overall well-being of the dieter.

We have written a lot of articles on carb dieting and have even established a site (Carbo Limbo) to help dieters with questions they may have regarding low carb diets.

Some of our biggest health concerns are the number of eggs that low carb dieters consume each day, as well as the amount of fatty meats and the amounts of cheese that are consumed.

Even though a few warnings have surfaced regarding the low carb diets, many people have experienced success in dropping unwanted pounds using sage choices - dropping the simple carbs from their diet, and the unwanted pounds in the process.

Your friends would have experienced a healthier meal if they had ditched the meat and enjoyed the entire bun with a slice of cheese, a leaf of lettuce and a couple of slices of tomato - and that's the madness that makes low carb dieting so ridiculous.  It's a bit like ordering a cheeseburger and a diet soda.  An even healthier lunch would have been a salad containing grilled chicken with a low fat dressing on the side, a wheat roll spread lightly with butter, and a glass of skimmed milk with 1 cup of raw fruit for dessert.

Thank you for writing, Jill, and we hope this note helps you better understand the madness of low carb dieting."
