The Thing About Low-Carb Diets


Something to remember when considering a low-carbohydrate diet....

Researchers at the HarvardSchool for Public Health recently discovered that low-carb dieters tend to eat about 40 percent less produce despite the fact that vegetables are very very low in carbohydrate and, for every 3 servings of veggies that are eaten each day, the risk of heart disease drops 18 percent.

This is another reason why a more well-balanced diet that emphasizes the importance of all the food groups (in the appropriate amount) is a better way to eat for long term health and success.
