There are a lot of misconceptions about low-carb diets. Almost every “anti-low carb” information or news report says the same thing: reduced-carb diets don’t have enough fruits and vegetables, and even often draw an image of people eating unhealthy diet.
The reality, low-carb diets concentrate on healthy food, nutritious, and research into reducing carbs continues to show more and more positive results.
Here are the misconceptions and the truths about low-carb diets to set your own mind at easiness and help you inform others.
1. Consuming Low Carb = Courting Heart Disease
In study after study, cholesterol, blood pressure, triglycerides, and other indications for heart disease risk decline on low-carb diets. Also, in one large long term study, even low-carb diets with a lot of animal protein and fat did not raise the risk of heart disease.
2. Eating Fruits and Vegetables not Allowed on Low-Carb Diets
People believe that fruits and vegetables are not allowed because they are mainly carbohydrate.
Actually, people who take a low carb diet almost all the time eat more fruits and vegetables than usual. Instead, non-starchy vegetables are actually comes at the bottom of the low carb pyramids.
3. Low-Carb Diets will Cause Kidneys Disease
The reason is that since people with kidney disease are typically encouraged to consume low protein diets, a diet that is higher in protein will raise kidney disease.
In fact, a low-carb diet is frequently not higher in protein than the latest suggested levels.
4. Low Carb means No Carb
Many people thought that a low carb diet must be extremely low in carbohydrates.
Not even a single expert endorses this. The fact, you should have at least 45% – 65% carbohydrate depending upon individual.
5. Dr Atkins Died of His Own Diet
Despite improperly obtained medical reports mis-reported by the vegetarian group “Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine”, Dr Atkins died from head injuries resulting from a fall. He was not fat when he died
6. Low-Carb Diets Have Insufficient Fiber
The reason is, because fiber is carbohydrate, a low-carb diet must be low in fiber.
In fact, a lot of low-carb foods are high in fiber, and on diets that encourage carb counting, fiber does not come into the calculation. Fiber remains undigested, so it is encouraged on low-carb diets.
7. Low-Carb Diets will LeachAll The Calcium from Your Bones
The reasoning goes that low-carb diets are always high in protein. People on higher protein diets are likely to have more calcium in their urine. But this turns out to be a red herring. This has been proven NOT to be true. In fact, it turns out that protein, rather than cause bone loss, actually protects our bones.
