Re: For the newcomers - Low carb dieting and your heart

[Guest guest]

But Joanne, this study compared low fat diets to low carb diets only for

clinically obese people.

Both diets, according to the results, were equal at helping obese people lose

weight. The only difference was in the HDL, with the low carb group faring

better.

But the question is: Was the result from lowering carbohydrate intake (and note

that all the foods they show in the story--with the exception of the chicken

pieces in the salad--are primarily carbohydrate) OR because restricting fats is

unhealthy?

That is, don't humans need to eat good fats in order to have healthy hearts?

Just a thought--
