How High-Carb Diet Plans Treat Carbohydrates by Rick Trojan

A number of popular diets are focused on carbohydrates. Some

demonize them. Then warn you against eating any carbohydrates.

Others in fact, emphasize a high carbohydrate intake. Here is

how high-carbohydrate diet plans treat carbohydrates. (Such as

Ornish, Pritikin, and Food for Life)

For years you've been hearing that eating a healthy diet. Means

cutting back on the total amount of fat. While eating more

complex carbohydrates. Thousands of "low-fat" alternatives now

crowd your supermarket shelves.

But is simply cutting back on fat. Then loading up on

carbohydrates a healthy way to eat or to lose weight? Current

research suggests that it isn't. Just like researchers have

learned that not all types of fat are bad. They have also

discovered that not all types of carbohydrates are good for you.

It's easy for you to fall into a low-fat trap. Gram for gram.

Fat has more than twice as many calories as either protein or

carbohydrates. Then it seems logical that choosing low-fat

products will help you with your weight loss. However, all too

often the low-fat products on supermarket shelves are packed

with sugar. And highly processed carbohydrates. Making up for

the taste that's lost when fat is removed.

These low-fat alternatives often contain just as many calories

as the full-fat versions. Some may even have more! Another

problem is that you mistakenly think that because a food is low

in fat. You can eat as much of it as you want without gaining

any weight.
