Eat It Again! How Repetition Rewires Your Taste – CarbSmart Podcast Episode 27

Dana Carpender 1,781

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.

The Latest From CarbSmart

Jean From Iowa’s Low Carb Success Story

Jean from Iowa is 41 and has gone from 190 pounds to 143.5 pounds and from a size 20/22 to an 8-10. Jean follows the Atkins program, with ‘shades of Protein Power.’

Today we are starting our discussion of protein. Article 7 of the Science of Low-Carb & Keto Diets series. We will be looking at such subjects as what is protein, why protein is necessary, what the functions of protein are in our bodies, where we get protein, what happens if we don't have enough or the right kinds of protein, and how and where in the system is protein digested. There will be a few surprises down the line.

Tony Blakemore 1,038

How Much Sugar Do We Eat? Sugar By Any Other Name Would Be As Sweet

Dr. Beth Gruber 1,425

There is another small subject concerning carbohydrates that needs to be addressed before we move on to discussing protein. Article 6 of the Science of Low-Carb & Keto Diets series. What about all the forms of actual sugar? Are they different? Is it safer/better to eat certain ones? Well-meaning friends and relatives often say, "But, this is made with a 'special' sugar that has vitamins and minerals! It is good for you." Do you know what to tell them? No? Well, then read on.
