Is there anyone who still believes in low carb dieting?

Everyone should watch "Fathead" documentary and make up your own mind. It was eye-opening.0

i think it just depends on the person and how THEIR body stores certain foods. i dont think a diet too low in carbs is a good thing, you needs carbs but you also need to burn them off so eating carbs only in the morning for breakfast and midmorning snack is a good idea, and its also about choosing the right carbs the less refined the better.
but who can say no to a nice big bowl of pasta for dinner lol.0 -
Is there any new information about low carb dieting that is keeping it alive?
Yeah, mounds of research pointing at grains, refined and processed carbs as causing Syndrome X.0 -

I do plan to see Fathead on Netflix this weekend. For my body, it is not enough to simply get fuel from carbs. I can't stave off hunger and build muscle on a high carb diet. i certainly wouldn't be able to knock out straight legged push-ups on a diet based on junk food.0 -
I think maybe you need to define what you are calling "Low Carb". I actually think South Beach is very balanced, at least in Phases II and III. Lean proteins, good fats, vegetables, whole fruit, and whole grain/complex carbs. I am planning on doing this when I get the time to focus on it and get my pantry in order.
What do you follow? How does it compare to "Low Carb"?0
