[QUOTE="Daibell, post: 485690, member: 21149"] Hi Brian. There has been endless discussion on these forums about diets, carb, fats and so on but people more knowledgeable than me have often pointed out that not all calories are equal and carb calories are more likely to cause body weight gain thru deposited fat. The evils of too much fructose are also well-known and sucrose contains 50% fructose. My wife has been low-carbing along with me (she's not diabetic) and has lost a very large amount of weight. Previously she was low-fatting with no success. Hi AnnieC. You have reinforced the point made in my earlier post. Medical professionals who don't recommend low-carb because of it's unknown long-term consequences are again shutting their eyes to the known damage caused by our current Western diet. They would rather encourage people to have a diet that is known to cause harm than one that is unproven but unlikely to cause harm. That seems pretty stupid to me and some would say reckless.
