low carb lifestyle

[Guest guest]

Sally,

You seem to think that we need tons of antioxidants to protect us from

something, mainly our meat consumption.

My question is, if the meat is healthy, I'm not sick, what do I need all these

antioxidants for? The environment? We all take our chances there. Have you

not heard about all the E. Coli from tainted vegetables? Nothing is safe. Just

eating vegetables and fruits doesn't guarantee you of anything. Even

vegetarians get cancer.

You are wrong when you say, just omitting bread and grains is enough. Sugar

must go and all it's forms. Just what do you think low carb is for? Weight

loss? Overall health? If it's weight loss then, you do need to cut out most

carbs in the beginning to find out what your body can handle. This is a phase

most go through and then gradually add other foods back in.

Once again, you are not getting how this works, you are just saying it's

unhealthy because of what you've " heard " from others.

your version of low carb probably isn't unhealthy because you

are including lots of fruit and veg, and you seem to agree with me

that most fruit and veg are low carb.

I know 5 a day is just a figure, as someone pointed out but it's the

array of antitoxidants that 'some' low carb followers will miss out

on if they choose to omit alot of fruit and veg because they see

these as high carb. I mean surely just omitting the bread and grains

etc is enough.

Anyway, people seem to have different low carb regimes and i expect

there is a lot of disagreement even among the various groups.

As long as people feel healthy whichever way they do it, is a good

thing.
