You wouldnt believe how effective is low grain/sugar on weight control until you try it yourself . There are many versions of low grain/carbohydrate diet but the one that i truly recommend is Mercola's recommendation of having high quality complex carbohydrate (generous amount of vegetables + low glycemix fruits) + organic animal products . BTW, Low grain/sugar diet is also an effective way to
reduce Triglycerides, another important factor for CVD.
Quote:
This belief turned out not to be true. According to the recent evidence, the most important dietary predictor of triglycerides appears to be carbohydrates, namely,
sugars
starches and
refined (processed) grains.
In other words, what leads to increase in blood triglycerides are mainly diets high in carbohydrates, especially sugar (American Association for Clinical Chemistry).

Plz be noted that Mercola low grain plan is not equal to Atkin low carb diet.
