I just received two recommendations to take a look at this blog, one from my good friend Levi who has it on his blogroll (I went looking for some updated articles), and one from low carb-u.
I like to link to blogs that have original content and don't just take and repackage press releases, and this blog certainly qualifies! Quite prolific. He managed to lose a lot of weight on Atkins and he is also publishing a book.
Here is a link to a good post on how low carb helps diabetics. I especially like this quote:
Other interesting results from the study include a marked increase in the HDL "good" cholesterol levels in almost every patient. Additionally, Krebs said despite repeated warnings from his colleagues in the medical community about possible kidney problems from eating too much protein on a low-carb lifestyle, his observations led him to believe that was simply not a major concern. He also credited the low-carb approach for giving study participants a way of eating that helped them to feel full and satisfied without having to count calories and yet still lose weight.
WOO HOO! Can we get this guy to start lecturing doctors about the healthy alternative low-carb offers? Man, if doctors would just listen to what one of their own is saying, we could overcome this negative barrier regarding low-carb. Sadly, it will take a lot more studies like this before medical "experts" change their already-made-up-mind about what to think about low-carb.
The more voices experiencing the same good results can only decrease the time it takes for the benefits to become obvious.
And here is a link to his main url. I have put it on my low carb blogroll as well.
