By now, the low-carb diet'€™s refrain is a familiar one: Bread is bad for you. Fat doesn'€™t matter. Carbs are the real reason you can'€™t lose weight. The low-carb universe Dr. Atkins brought into being continues to expand. Low-carb diets, from South Beach to the Zone and beyond, are still the go-to method for weight-loss for millions. These diets'€™ marketing may differ, but they all share two crucial components: the condemnation of '€œcarbs'€ and an emphasis on meat and fat for calories. Even the latest diet trend, the Paleo diet, is'€”despite its increased focus on (some) whole foods'€”just another variation on the same carbohydrate fears. In The Low-Carb Fraud, longtime leader in the nutritional science field T. Colin Campbell (author of The China Study and Whole) outlines where (and how) the low-carb proponents get it wrong: where the belief that carbohydrates are bad came from, and why it persists despite all the evidence to the contrary. The foods we misleadingly refer to as '€œcarbs'€ aren'€™t all created equal'€”and treating them that way has major consequences for our nutritional well-being. If you'€™re considering a low-carb diet, read this e-book first. It will change the way you think about what you eat'€”and how you should be eating, to lose weight and optimize your health, now and for the long term.
