No Carb = death ! ! : Low carb diets are extremely unhealthy! you do want to avoid processed foods and simple carbs (white bread, sugar, soft drinks with sugar, bagels, etc.) but you need complex carbs and veggies have all the important micronutrients in them that do not exist in meat. You don't want no carb or low carb, you want healthy carbs. Read the book eat to live by joel fuhrman, md and get more ideas from him!
