Low Carb is High Dumb by Dr. Donald A. Miller

vegetables. I usually am turned off by soy based foods that

pretend to be something else, such as soy burgers, soy

cutlets, soy cheeses. In fact, the fake foods not only can

taste far from real, but those which contain Hydrolyzed

Plant Protein (HP) inflame my tongue and cause me anxiety,

just as foods with a lot of Monosodium Glutamate (MSG).

Side observation: a chunk of land producing balanced protein

from grains and legumes can support about 20 times as many

people as the same land producing four legged meats. Oh, and

the people getting most of their proteins and calories from

plant sources are far less likely to have heart attacks,

strokes, cancers, et cetera, than the big meat eaters.

I have written elsewhere that selecting sensible foods means

one never has to count calories. I'll go further and say

that most carbohydrate restrictions are dumb.

Here are the only carbohydrate restrictions I recommend.

• all refined sugars

(cane, beet, high fructose corn syrup,

sorghum molasses, maple syrup, etc.)

• beer in large quantities

• anything made from white flour, even if "enriched"

If you have a craving for sweets that you just can't break

(which I don't belive), learn how fruits and nuts together

can taste very sweet. Also, the unsaturated fat in the nuts

(or edible seeds, such as sunflower) will satisfy hunger

with no risk to the arteries. My favorite is raisins and

almonds, perhaps with some fresh red delicious apple slices.

Pasta, preferably made from whole grains, is healthful, if

not served with lots of cheese, oil, sauces which contain

oil, sugar, cheese. Noodles with little meat is a main menu

item in the Orient.

Oh, about carbohydrates in potatoes: they are harmless if

you don't add butter, margarine, fat from frying, sour

cream for topping, and other insults to a great food.

People in parts of Central and South America eat little

more than potatoes of traditional breeds.
