- By
- now,
- the
- low-carb
- diet's
- refrain
- is
- a
- familiar
- one:Bread
- is
- bad
- for
- you.
- Fat
- doesn't
- matter.
- Carbs
- are
- the
- real
- reason
- you
- can't
- lose
- weight.The
- low-carb
- universe
- Dr.
- Atkins
- brought
- into
- being
- continues
- to
- expand.
- Low-carb
- diets,
- from
- South
- Beach
- to
- the
- Zone
- and
- beyond,
- are
- still
- the
- go-to
- method
- for
- weight-loss
- for
- millions.
- These
- diets'
- marketing
- may
- differ,
- but
- they
- all
- share
- two
- crucial
- components:
- the
- condemnation
- of
- “carbs"
- and
- an
- emphasis
- on
- meat
- and
- fat
- for
- calories.
- Even
- the
- latest
- diet
- trend,
- the
- Paleo
- diet,
- is—despite
- its
- increased
- focus
- on
- (some)
- whole
- foods—just
- another
- variation
- on
- the
- same
- carbohydrate
- fears.In
- The
- Low-Carb
- Fraud,
- longtime
- leader
- in
- the
- nutritional
- science
- field
- T.
- Colin
- Campbell
- (author
- of
- The
- China
- Study
- and
- Whole)
- outlines
- where
- (and
- how)
- the
- low-carb
- proponents
- get
- it
- wrong:
- where
- the
- belief
- that
- carbohydrates
- are
- bad
- came
- from,
- and
- why
- it
- persists
- despite
- all
- the
- evidence
- to
- the
- contrary.
- The
- foods
- we
- misleadingly
- refer
- to
- as
- “carbs"
- aren't
- all
- created
- equal—and
- treating
- them
- that
- way
- has
- major
- consequences
- for
- our
- nutritional
- well-being.If
- you're
- considering
- a
- low-carb
- diet,
- read
- this
- e-book
- first.
- It
- will
- change
- the
- way
- you
- think
- about
- what
- you
- eat—and
- how
- you
- should
- be
- eating,
- to
- lose
- weight
- and
- optimize
- your
- health,
- now
- and
- for
- the
- long term.
