Low Carb Diets Low Carb Diets Getting Started Health and Nutrition Recipes From Laura Dolson, your Guide to Low Carb Diets What do you say when people ask you about your diet? Do you feel comfortable with "low-carb", or "Atkins", or do you not feel that is a descriptive label? Are you afraid people will think you're on a fad diet? This week I muse about this. Also, nuts are a healthy snack and most of them are low in carbs. Here's info to help you choose. Also, what to order the next time you go into your favorite coffee shop. Have a great week! Laura What Should We Call Ourselves? For some, the term "low-carb" has fallen out of favor, and some diet authors don't like the label. For others, it's the best way to describe ourselves, although it's not very well-defined. And what about the fact that different people do well with different amounts of carbohydrate? Would a different label be better? Carbs and Fats in Nuts and Seeds Nuts have been shown to be heart-healthy, and they can be a good low-carb snack. But nuts aren't all created equal. Some have more carb than others, and their constellation of fats varies quite a lot. I've made a chart making it easy to compare the most commonly-eaten nuts and seeds. Check out the carbs, fiber, calories, and the types of fats in each.
