From Laura Dolson, your Guide to Low Carb Diets

When people think of low-carb diets, they usually think of weight loss without hunger, and this is a wonderful benefit. But did you know that reducing carbohydrate can have a lot more advantages than just weight loss?  There are many healthy benefits that have been proved from cutting carbs, others that there is preliminary evidence for, and others that are commonly reported, but not well studied.  Low-carb diets have gotten countless people on the road to better health, sometimes in surprising ways!  Have a very healthy week - Laura

24 Benefits of Low Carb Diets

 I recently went through this list, and added a few.  It was interesting to me that since I first wrote the list 9 years ago the evidence has only grown for the benefits of low-carb eating.  And to tell you the truth, there are lots of other possible benefits that have some evidence to support them - I hope to be updating this again and again as the years go by!

 The word is out that fats "aren't all bad", that "small amounts of healthy fats" are "OK" to consume, but certainly we don't want to "go overboard". To heck with that!  There is lots of evidence that even saturated fats aren't as bad as we once thought, and that in the context of a low-carb diet may even be good for us (context really matters in this case).  But here are 5 high-fat foods that almost everyone agrees are great for us.
