The healthy dieting choice

Heavy advertising usually wins. Well, most of the times. Yes, even in the world of dieting and weight loss, popularity usually wins common sense.

If carbohydrate is the fuel, why should you decrease the amount you take in, especially when you are going to need the energy in your exercise program.

These popular fads never made sense to me at all. The "low-carb diet" logic seems something like, "If you need your car to run better, put less gasoline in the tank". Doesn't make sense to me.

On the other hand, it's easy to see why the anti-diabetes diet makes so much sense. I have said all that to make a point about a popular headline on Fox.com website recently - Atkins Diet Linked to Life Threatening Complication.

Folks, beware. Choose health today.
