there's more than 1 book and countless studies that say the opposite. again, weight loss vs. health. lose weight, eat fatty foods, and keep exercise to a minimum ... doesn't sound like a recipe for reducing the risk of heart disease. When roughly two thirds of Americans (to keep this conservation ethnocentric - because, as others have noted, the rest of the carb-eating world isn't epidemically fat) are overweight/ obese, I do understand the emphasis on weight loss - and I think it's great that folks are finding ways of shedding the weight, whether it's with Taubes or their local weight watchers class. whatever works. but obesity isn't the only epidemic we're dealing with. heart disease, cancers, and chronic health issues can all be related to diet and nutrition (or lack thereof) too. diets that lead to disease have the following markers: -High in animal fats and protein -High in unhealthy fats (saturated/trans) -Low in fiber -High in processed/packaged foods -Low in complex carbs -Low in plant-based foods not coincidentally, these are also the markers of a diet (which can rightly be called an American diet) that lead to obesity. can one lose weight on this diet? absolutely. does one also lose the risk of disease that goes hand in hand with these diet markers? absolutely not. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
