Rapid Weight Loss -- Red Flag #2
With many of the "new" weight loss diets out there, it seems that many times, one of the large macronutrients seems to be missing from the formula.
Nowadays, it seems like the low carb era is upon us.
But do we not remember 10 years ago. Low fat was the rage then. When do we figure out the real truth. Here is my take on the subject:
We, as humans, are omnivores. It is readily apparent in our tooth structure. We have the "mashing" molars in the back (for veggie matter) and the bicuspids and cuspids for meat tearing.
Our bodies have "evolved" over a period of thousands of years. If certain macronutrients (fats, proteins, carbs), were meant to be excluded, I think our teeth would be a little different.
Now, do I think that rotating low carb, low fat diets can be helpful in the short term?
Absolutely.
But that's another story.
