Use mostly complex carbohydrates (as close to natural, grains, vegetables, fruit), and just enough
meat (the size of the palm of your hand, each day), and no refined sugars or other refined "junk".
why do you feel the need to come into a thread specifically about low carb and preach your high carb ways? what works for you, may not work for others.
I feel the need to correct any advice that is highly deleterious to anyone's health.
I do not "preach high carb", but rather high complex carb., which is sound medical advice.
Please don't continue to promote a fad that can cause severe health problems.
be it high carb, or high complex carb, it's still antithetical to a thread about low carbing.

Your link was from an extremely shoddy site. Not one source was even listed. At least my link had sources to actual peer-reviewed journal publications.
Here are some real scientific publications:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25797030 - A low carbohydrate, high protein diet suppresses intratumoral androgen synthesis and slows castration-resistant prostate tumor growth in mice.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23422857 - A low-carb diet kills tumor cells with a mutant p53 tumor suppressor gene: the Atkins diet suppresses tumor growth.

It's OK, really it is! You can hold whatever opinion you wish, and selectively quote from articles that have
little or nothing to do with the deadly Atkins Diet. Yes, a temporary increase in high protein can have some
transient positive effects, until they turn into some serious diseases and very negative health effects.
Actually read the article provided, and comprehend the facts. You're welcome to ignore it if you wish.
I will not be responding further to your notions.

I would prefer if you left and didn't respond.
If you have a chance I would take a look into Dr. Jonny Bowden and Dr. Stephen Sinatra, a renowned Cardiologist and proponent of low-carb living.
I guess I may or may not see you at the finish line in life. Sometimes people are too stubborn to see the facts when they're facing them. Atherclerosis is definitely not on my checklist and I am glad I did my research before living my life like a drone.

Wow; I haven't gotten a chance to get on this thread for a while. My asking for help getting back to low carb ended up in a firestorm I guess. LOL. Honestly, one would have to be living under a log not to hear how removing......yes, I said REMOVING all bread, (yes, even whole wheat), sugars, sweetners of all kinds, white rice and pasta from your diet is a great healthly choice. Remove all processed foods and eat nothing but WHOLE foods...........all fruits, vegies, protein (yes- don't even worry about the fat content as long as it is hormone free and organic). Limit your dairy; milk after all is for baby cows. I myself love cheese and yogurt and do fine eating this in moderation. As for excercise; I am just trying to get moving again. The fitbit is a great reminder of how sedentary I am..........eeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh.
Anyway, here's to lowcarbers everywhere........keep it up and your body will thank you:) Just concentrate on whole, unprocessed foods.

Most i.portant is to look up a list of low carb foods and stock up on ones you like. It's not about calories, so you have to switch your mindset. Research so you understand why low carb works otherwise you'll be questioning what youre doing and why. The goal is basically take sugars away from your body so it will burn fat for energy. You may not feel well at first, so you need to read up to know that youll recover. There's important ifo to know. Carbs can range betwwen 20 to 50. Many foods are zero carbs. To start its easy fall back on safest foods like eggs/bacon for breakfast and meat and low carb veggies for lunch and dinner, nuts and cheese for snacks. As you learn more you can be more creative. Adding healthy fat is important: butter, olive oil, coconut oil

It doesn't matter whether you eat low carb or not. Google for the number of calories you should eat to maintain your weight for your age and gender and height and then subtract 500 a day or whatever number you want to work with to lose weight. AND exercise is good for health but what you eat determines what you weigh. Don't sit for hours without getting ups and walking around a bit. It makes more difference than exercise. Also 10 minutes on a stationary bike while reading the news or a book is amazingly significant. It was recommended to me by a cardiologist. Best wishes.
