A Low Carbohydrate Places Stress on th Heart

Wed, 09 Dec 2009
A low-carb diet involves consuming more protein and fat in foods like cream, butter and meat and omiting bread, sugar and other high carbohydrate foods.

Those who shun carbohydrates, such as, bread and pasta are 25 per cent more likely to have clogged arteries than those on a low fat diet, so recent research in the journal Diabetes states.

Blocked arteries are a key indicator of future heart problems.

High-fat diets have increased in popularity as they appear to promote more rapid weight loss and due to their palatability.

There is a great deal of evidence to show that such diets do not help people lose weight any quicker than more conventional diets .

The potential negatives of increased cardiovascular risks far outweigh the potential positives of more easily sustained dieting/weight loss, especially when there is a proven and safe alternative in low-fat high-carbohydrate weight loss diets .
