In this podcast, I want to cover the most common low-carb myths. 9 low-carb myths, and what I have to say about them: 1. Low-carb is a fad diet. (A fad is an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something that is short-lived) • The keto diet is growing in popularity because it works. 2. It’s okay for weight loss, but not for long-term health. • Why would something work short-term and not long-term? 3. All that fat is unhealthy. • We recommend healthy fats. Fats have benefits. 4. It’s not sustainable. • Low-carb diets get rid of cravings and hunger. 5. It’s not healthy to omit a food group. • There is no such thing as healthy sugar or refined carbohydrates. 6. Low-carb means you have to cut down on vegetables. • We recommend 7-10 cups of vegetables a day. 7. The brain needs carbs—you’ll be tired. • Your brain thrives on ketones. 8. It’s not good for a diabetic. • Low-carb may actually help your blood sugar levels. 9. Low-carb means high-protein • We recommend a moderate amount of protein.
