Low Carbohydrate Diet vs. Low Fat Diet
The Inuit "Paradox" We used seal oil for our cooking and as a dipping sauce for food. We had moose, caribou, and reindeer. We hunted ducks, geese, and little land birds like quail, called ptarmigan. We caught crab and lots of fish—salmon, whitefish, tomcod, pike, and char. Our fish were cooked, dried, smoked, or frozen. We ate frozen raw whitefish, sliced thin. The elders liked stinkfish, fish buried in seal bags or cans in the tundra and left to ferment. And fermented seal flipper, they liked that too."
Low Carbohydrate Diet and Diabetes Management The need of the hour is to accept the benefits of carbohydrate restriction with reservation and to establish guidelines for its use, especially emphasizing use of mono and polyunsaturated fats as the way to achieve caloric balance since these have been inversely linked with CVD risk in various studies."
Low Carbohydrate Diet and Plasma Lipids and Weight Loss
Low Carbohydrate Diet vs. Low Fat Diet and Weight Loss After the initiation of the diets, both groups had a decrease in body weight that was more rapid in the earlier weeks of observation and became less pronounced as the study progressed. The women in the very low carbohydrate group lost an average of 7.6 +/- 0.7 kg after 3 months and 8.5 +/- 1.0 kg after 6 months of diet. Women following the low fat diet lost 4.2 +/- 0.8 and 3.9 +/- 1.0 kg at 3 and 6 months, respectively. The amount of weight lost was significantly greater in the very low carbohydrate group compared with the low fat group, whether analyzed as intention to treat with all randomized subjects in the analysis or with only the subjects who completed the trial"
Low Carbohydrate Diet vs. Low Fat Diet and Weight Loss and Cholesterol During active weight loss, serum triglyceride levels decreased more and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol level increased more with the low-carbohydrate diet than with the low-fat diet."
Low Carbohydrate Diet vs. Conventional Diet There were no significant differences between groups in the total or LDL cholesterol concentration, except at month 3, when values were significantly lower in the group on the conventional diet than in the group on the low-carbohydrate diet. In contrast, the relative increase in HDL cholesterol concentrations and the relative decrease in triglyceride concentrations were greater in the group on the low-carbohydrate diet than in the group on the conventional diet throughout most of the study. The results of the analyses that included data on subjects who completed the study and data obtained at the time of the last follow-up visit for those who did not complete the study (Table 3) were nearly identical to the analyses in which base-line values were carried forward in the case of missing data (Table 2) with respect to blood pressure, insulin sensitivity, and serum lipoproteins."
High Fat/Low Carbohydrate Diet and Alzheimer Disease A report published today in the peer-reviewed, open access journal Nutrition and Metabolism, showed that a brain protein, amyloid-beta, which is an indicator of Alzheimer's disease, is reduced in mice on the so-called ketogenic diet."
Effects of a low-carbohydrate diet on glycemic control in outpatients with severe type 2 diabetes The effectiveness of the diet may be comparable to that of insulin therapy. CRD could be implemented with good compliance among outpatients; therefore, it can be an alternative to HCDs in the dietary management of T2DM."

To Be Vegetarian, or Not to Be?This is one of hottest questions these days. Vegetarianisms is now very popular, many people strongly believe that this is good way to go. But vegetarianism is not encoded in our genes and we will never achieve optimal health and life span if our prime food will come only from plant world.There is no point to stop eating of meats and animal fats. Of course we should eat only free range and organic meats if possible (better mineral and vitamin content). Red meat, game meat, poultry and fish and any other animal products are rich in minerals, vitamins, coenzymes and proteins. If you want to be healthy and live long and happy life meat should be on your plate at least two times a week. Of course there are some vegetarians in good shape but nothing is better than red meat proteins, coenzymes and minerals. Weston Price while travelling around the world noticed that in areas where meat was quite easily available people were much healthier, bigger and stronger than in other more veggie areas. That is fact from real life, not from laboratory. Healthy MeatOur human evolution started about 7 million years ago and through all these years we were omnivores, plant and meat eaters. In general we can say that our main food was meat (fatty and lean), fish, many greens and roots, some ripe and sour fruits (not those sweet modern fruits loaded with sugars) and insects. Seven million years of meat eating is very long time, we evolved on meat and fats!Healthy meat is the best source of high quality proteinsStay Well Informed
