A member asked:
Is it true that the best way to lose body fat is to go low carb? and that eating healthy fats in moderation will not affect weight?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Low carb/Good fat: You are on the right track. Talk w/your doctor about the food plan you are considering. It is also called the Ketogenic diet wherein the body burns fat rather than sugar. Good fats are good even though we have been fed misinformation about that. No transfats. Peace and good health.
