More on the Anti-Carb Diet

One trial showed that low-fat, carbo-rich meals are a bad choice. It's far better to have a high fat, low carb diet. Those dieters are better able to maintain their dieting weight. 

From this perspective, the trial suggests that among the bad decisions we can make to maintain our weight is exactly what the government and medical organizations like the American Heart Association have been telling us to do: eat low-fat, carbohydrate-rich diets, even if those diets include whole grains and fruits and vegetables.

Mark Bittman said the same thing a few days ago. 

Steve and I have largely cut out carbs from our lives. If I make rice for the boys, I'll make a version for us with huge amounts of fresh parsley. Or we'll just not eat it at all. I'm making up for the carbs by making three or four different vegetable dishes every night. I made an awesome kale and garlic scape soup last week. (Sigh. Awesome kale soup? Did I really write that? Well, it was awesome.)
