Dana Carpender 1,782

Every taste is an acquired taste. If you’ve just recently gone low-carb, say as a New Year’s resolution, you may be overwhelmed by the sheer difference from your old diet. I encourage you to do so rather than using low-carb breads and such to make your low-carb diet resemble your old diet. Those can be useful. Bridge foods helping you to find a new normal, but not only are they, yes, processed foods often overpriced and sometimes deceptively labeled.

Perhaps Fats Are Not So Evil – Positive Information About Dietary Fats

Health agencies began advising everyone to restrict fats consumption. Said to be based on sound science - which it wasn't. Despite a 6% or more drop in average fat intake over the past 30 years, there is no real evidence that health has improved. Article 16 of the Science of Low-Carb & Keto Diets series.

I have recently been asked, "What are the best fats to be using in our low carbohydrate diet?" It's a good question!

Make-Ahead Low-Carb Holiday Recipes Part II: Main & Side Dishes

Di Bauer 1,702

The best tip I can give you for make-ahead main dishes is to buy ahead. My stepmother routinely serves beef tenderloins and veggies at Christmas. Turkey and sometimes ham are on sale around Thanksgiving and Christmas. Beef isn't. Every year she finds beef tenderloins on sale during the summer. She buys them, wraps them well, freezes them until the day before Christmas, and saves a bundle. It's too late for this year, I suppose, but don't forget this tip next summer.

My Handy Dandy Holiday Solution For Dealing with Food Pushers

Brian Pierce 1,161

The holidays are nearly upon us, my friends, and that means it's time to gather with your loved ones and eat high-carb meals while visions of non-Atkins-friendly sugarplums dance in our heads. Okay, let's face it, the holidays are the most difficult part of choosing a low carb lifestyle.

Dietary Fats – Getting to The Official Opinion

Dr. Beth Gruber 1,123

Dietary dogma about Dietary Fats came about despite the fact that there was very little evidence connecting diet to heart disease, and despite the concern of some scientists that eating too little fat could also have harmful effects. The media being what it is, it pushed all the scientific criticisms aside, and stood behind the simple, easy-to-understand but incorrect idea that less fat equals longer life. The government publishes the US Department of Agriculture's booklet on dietary guidelines every 5 years, and so far the well-known Food Pyramid still recommends that fats and oils be eaten "sparingly." Article 15 of the Science of Low-Carb & Keto Diets series.
