REVEALED: Mainstream Low-Carb LIES (Shocking!)
Dear Living Well Daily Reader,
There’s nothing Big Pharma fears more than free-thinking, independent people.
These fat cats know that the second someone hears the truth, there goes their gigantic paychecks.
So it makes complete sense that they’ll do anything they can to keep people from knowing how to stay healthy WITHOUT prescriptions, surgeries, and other “treatments”.
And this latest example is no different.
Now Big Pharma is out to tear down a low-carb diet… and you won’t believe the trick they pulled to do it.
A new study has been published in all the papers… the media just CAN’T stop talking about it.
And it’s yet ANOTHER in a long list of things they’ve gotten wrong.
Now researchers are saying that a low-carb diet has no long-term benefits.
When researchers collected and examined a group of studies, they concluded that low-carb diets offer no lasting benefits for blood sugar control or weight loss.
But they couldn’t BE more wrong… and there’s a glaring flaw in their study to prove it.
You see, the researchers defined a low-carb diet as a carb intake of 26 to 45 percent of your daily calories. Then, they defined very low-carb as anything below 26 percent.
To put it in clearer terms, 26 percent equals about 130 grams of carbohydrates (or 520 calories).
And the problem is, their definition of a low-carb diet is VERY different from how most doctors define it.
For my patients, I say anything below 100 grams is low-carb, and anything below 40 grams is very low-carb.
And I do so because these limits are tied directly to the physiological processes in your body, such as when it begins to burn fat for energy.
But when the researchers decided 130 grams was low-carb, this meant that their “balanced carb” control group used 45-60 percent of their calories for carbs—nearly double what I prescribe. And that many carbs are typical (or even low) for most people in the United States.
I don’t find it surprising that the researchers didn’t see any changes in HbA1C or BMI in the participants… they weren’t getting the full benefits because they weren’t doing the full diet!
If you want to test low-carb, then you should do TRUE low-carb.
There are PLENTY of other studies showing that eating a true low-carb diet benefits both your weight loss and your blood sugar control.
So keep those carbs as low as you can, and your health will definitely improve.
P.S.
This isn’t the only the only dangerous thing the mainstream has gotten wrong. Here’s another case that shows how badly they miss the mark… especially when it comes to cancer.
