Opinion: Low-carb craze threatens to head off track

Posted by jonknee on April 13 in In The News

In a USA Today op/ed, Stephen Perrine states that the, "Low-carb craze threatens to head off track." Here is the basis of his arguement:

The original low-carb movement worked because it inspired us to cut out junk food. Since high-carb foods also happen to be plentiful - and high in calories - excising them from one's diet meant almost guaranteed weight loss. Robert Atkins' plan may not have been the perfect solution - it's high in fat and low in fiber and other nutrients - but when it came to dropping pounds, it worked.

No matter what you believe, the article is a good read. Stephen brings some valid points.
