TWIW 29: CSIRO recommends low carb approach

from This Week In Wellness Hosted by The Wellness Couch

This Week In Wellness, CSIRO (an independent Australian federal government agency responsible for scientific research) is recommending a low carbohydrate approach to help curb the obesity epidemic and reduce the risk of diabetes and heart disease in a dramatic shift from the high carbohydrate, low-fat approach recommended previously. With two in three Australians either overweight or obese, it is a timely shift and one that has come none too soon. Professor Grant Brinkworth from CSIRO says that “For many years, we’ve had the high-carbohydrate, low-fat approach – and research shows it’s only offering people moderate benefits,” https://7news.com.au/the-morning-show/csiro-recommends-a-low-carb-diet-for-long-term-weight-loss-goals-c-473130 The post TWIW 29: CSIRO recommends low carb approach appeared first on The Wellness Couch.
