Question 4

my friend had high fat low carb diet and omit wheat, rice, sugar oat and all other cereals from food list. is it safe? m indian n can"t forego wheat.

Accepted Answer

Fad diet: This "pop" diet -- despite the elaborate "scientific theory" presented by its proponents -- probably works like most of the other diet fads by limiting food choices. It's your friend's business; i trust this person will use appropriate, cost-effective supplements as needed if it's too restrictive.

Question 5

i am wondering what healthy food can i eat while drinking beer on a high protein low carb diet?

Accepted Answer

Avoid simple sugars: Avoid soft drinks, table sugar, bread, pasta, starches, ice cream, anything with high fructose corn syrup. Eat vegetables, salads, beans, whole fruits with low sugar contents, chicken, fish and lean meat. Keep in mind that a can of beer has about 13 grams of sugar and  drinking a few can take the low out of your low carb diet.

Question 6

i'm on a homely diet since april : low fat, medium carb & veg protein. low on ani protein, no red meat, no fast food, greasy/fried food. high veg, fruits. brisk walking. i lost 13 lbs in this tenure. is this normal loss or i am seriously ill inside?

Accepted Answer

Let's see ....: It has been about 12 or 13 weeks since the middle of April (today is July 20). That would be losing about a pound a week. Now I don't know if you are trying to lose weight, but if you are, this is just about perfect! (I don't know if you worried that you are losing too much or not enough). But losing 1 pound a week on a sensible diet such as this is your best shot at normal long term weight.

Question 7

i'm on a homely diet (low fat/oil, moderate carb/protein) frm april. no red meat/alcohol/fast food/fried fd. i'v probs with acid reflux. bit high sgpt/sgot/bilirubin,panc-ok. hb-14. i'v lost 14.5 lbs since april mid. is the wgt loss ok or due to ca ?

Accepted Answer

Diet: It would seem most reasonable that if you are dieting that is the reason you have lost the weight.

Question 8

what is high carb diet and why do people avoid it ?

Accepted Answer

Unhealthy: Carbohydrates are the major feeder of fat cells in the body so a high carb diet is likely to lead to weight gain.  High carb diets are also generally very low in fats. This can be helpful for someone with heart disease but some types of fats, such as omega-3s are healthy and provide good health benefits. High carb diets are generally not well regarded.

Question 9

are low carb high fat diets safe?

Accepted Answer

Safe but not healthy: Low carb is good especially low refined carbs but high fat is not good especially animal fats. Beware of foods that come from animals that walk on 4 legs (or that are mistreated!) eat lots of fruit vegetables grains high quality protein. If you are diabetic watch out for the fruit. There are a lot of very good websites that can advise you on healthy diets. And don't forget to be active!

Question 10

is it possible to succeed with low carb high fat diets?

Accepted Answer

Anything is possible: Low carb, high fat diets are good at short term weight loss but, as is true with all diets, don't fare well over the long term.  Some people are outliers - you could be one of them.
