Everyone that thinks a low-carb is good for you and will work in the long-term is wrong. You're pushing your bodies into an ill state called Ketosis. Your body runs off of carbs, I eat 600g of carbs a day with under 40g of protein and 20g of fats. This uninformative and lieing industry is telling us that meat, dairy, and eggs are good for us? That stuff is loaded with cholesterol and will end up hurting you in the long run. Eat a high carb, low fat, vegan/vegetarian (low dairy) diet and live life to the fullest.

What would you like insight on? I'm actually serious too, people are so uninformed about the fitness and nutrition industry.0

High carb is no better. I am not for any specific type of eating, except for the one that allows a person to maintain a reasonable amount to calories.0

It's much better than a LCHF diet for sure.0 -

Excess calories consumed cause fat gain, regardless of the source.

Ohhhh. So because you said we have to be a vegan/vegetarian we all now must jump on the bandwagon?
Sorry but I'd rather eat steak, bacon, ribs and burgers and still live life to the fullest.
Oh and FYI: you can get high cholesterol on your vegan/vegetarian diet. It has nothing to do with eating meat. A lot of people with high cholesterol have it because of their genetics, not their diet. And also, just because your TOTAL cholesterol numbers are high doesn't mean squat. The LDL/HDL/Tri's are what you should be looking at. If those are in check then there's no issue.0 -

If that were even remotely true, then I wouldn't know any fat/overweight/obese vegans.
But unfortunately, I know many obese people of those lifestyles.0 -
I prefer the wisdom of the Breatharians. Enter the fifth dimension and live off of air. Food is lame.

I am watching "my diet is better than your diet" on ABC and from what I can tell -- the guy who is on the no diet is winning. It is not what you are eating-- well unless you are eating tons of cookies and ice cream and diet soda--but it is more in how much we are eating and the fact that we are not moving. Crazy diet things like adding Chia seeds or eating quinoa all the time-- seriously-- when you are not dieting-- you are not going to continue to eat that stuff. So I am starting the no diet diet-- and watching my portions -- we all eat way too much at one time, and I am trying to exercise/move more. The solution to weight loss is really simple -- eat less, move more. We are just pretty much a lazy society that does not move much --how many of you drive around until you get a closer parking spot to the store entrance, or drive your kid to the bus stop, or go to the drive-in fast food window? And we eat too much -- do you super size at the fast food restaurant? Do you eat the huge portion served at the restaurant? Do you pile too much food on your plate at dinner or too much cereal in that bowl at breakfast? We consume Big Gulps and triple scoop ice cream cones. We all need to watch the amount we take in and try to move more than we are currently doing.

Some people eat low carb for certain conditions. I do it for PCOS and the calories DO matter via the source for me. Everyone is different0

Steak, bacon, ribs, and burgers have ungodly amounts of fats and high cholesterol levels. That can lead to heart disease. http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/173641160 -
