Book Review: If Naturopaths Are Quacks… Then I Guess I’m A Duck

Amy Dungan June 4, 2013 Book Reviews, Books, CarbSmart Magazine, Dana Carpender, Our Writers, Reviews 0

The title of this book gave me a good chuckle. Why wouldn't anyone believe in a nutrition-based, natural approach to health and healing? It seems we are fixated on the idea that health must come in the form of a pill or some other expensive method, often less effective than simpler approaches.

Low Carb Restaurant Review: Outback Steakhouse

Ed Stockly June 4, 2013 CarbSmart Magazine, Ed Stockly, Our Writers, Restaurant Reviews, Reviews 1

After 2 years on the Atkins diet, you'd think I'd learn not to be disappointed when a restaurant doesn't meet my expectations of a good selection of food for the low-carb high-fat dieter. But it seems that every time I visit a new restaurant, even if I like the food served, it comes up short. Outback Steakhouse is no exception.

When I was a kid, my step-mom made us a huge homemade tuna casserole a few times a month; it was a favorite in our house. The problem was it was full of white noodles. I have found a way to recreate this dish with much healthier Paleo ingredients.

Tomatoes are not carb-free, indeed, I consider them a "borderline" vegetable. How better to spend my daily carb allowance?

Sagdrina Jalal June 2, 2013 CarbSmart Magazine, Fitness, Our Writers, Sagdrina Jalal 0

Summertime screams a few musts in a healthy person’s life: must feast on fresh berries, must soak up some sun, and must get outside to exercise in the fresh air. Summer provides a nice break from the gym; giving us space to breathe, sweat, and simply play in the dirt. Runners, in particular, look forward to the long days of summer. No better time to get in a scenic ‘five miler’.

Personalized Nutrition for Optimum Fertility

Guest Columnist June 2, 2013 CarbSmart Magazine, Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome, Pregnancy 0

Nutrition-related diseases are common in our fertility practice. Patients with these issues are actually experiencing sub-fertility, however, and they generally have excellent fertility potential. Evidence- and experience-based recommendations are improving and we now have a growing experience of effective treatments. In addition, we may expect very exciting new research results in the next few years with regard to the role of gut flora and obesity, for example. Carbohydrate restriction has become a first-line, mainstream treatment in many fertility and medical clinics. Resistance to these measures appears to be waning as the benefits of these interventions become more and more obvious.
