Dr. Robert Lustig From ‘Sugar: A Bitter Truth’ Shares His Thoughts On Low-Carb Diets

Dr. Robert Lustig has become somewhat of a hero in the low-carb/health community thanks to the YouTube sensation his 90-minute masterpiece lecture entitled “Sugar: The Bitter Truth” has elicited. Watch that video here: www.youtube.com Because of the overwhelming demand from his listeners, Jimmy Moore has previously asked Dr. Lustig to come on his podcast “The Livin’ La Vida Low-Carb Show with Jimmy Moore” — www.thelivinlowcarbshow.com — to talk about his YouTube lecture, his thoughts on the detrimental health effects of fructose, and other items of particular interest to my audience. Unfortunately, he turned Jimmy down in early 2010 citing he doesn’t believe in low-carb diets. On May 13, 2010, Dr. Lustig was a guest on Sean Croxton’s “Underground Wellness Radio” program sharing a fantastic wealth of information on fructose, lipids, calories, and so much more. Listen to the entire 90-minute interview here: www.blogtalkradio.com One of the topics that came up was when Sean asked a question from Jimmy Moore about why Dr. Lustig is such a strong opponent of fructose and sugar, but not of starchy and other culprit carbohydrates. He answered the question explaining why he doesn’t believe in low-carb diets. However, after the interview, Jimmy again asked for a chance to speak with Dr. Lustig explaining that the show is more than about low-carb diets. He said as long as Jimmy understood he supported “safe carb” and not low-carb then he would do it. An interview has been set up

Low-Carb Diet Tips That Work

If you’re searching for a diet program, consider the low-carb diet. For many people, this diet has provided excellent results, including weight loss, lower blood pressure, lower blood sugar, lower triglycerides, and amazingly, even lower cholesterol levels. The diet, however, is not for everyone. Some people have no enegy on this program, while others seem to thrive on it.

An important aspect to remember is that this is a LOW-carb diet – not a NO-carb diet. You need some carbs to maintain your health, and according to my doctor, a no-carb diet can do severe damage to your liver and kidneys.

What can you eat on this diet? Any meat, fish, fowl, or eggs. You can also eat most cheeses, butter, mayonnaise, ranch dressing, Italian dressing, and cooking oils. Low-carb veggies include green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, spinach, mustard greens, collard greens, turnip greens, lettuce, green onions, asparagus, yellow squash, zucchini, mushrooms, cabbage, peppers, red onions, tomatoes, and Brussels sprouts. You can also have cream and low-carb real whipped cream. Dill pickles and artificially-sweetend pickles and relishes are fine.

Beverages you can have regularly on a low-carb diet include unsweetened coffee and tea, along with diet sodas. Diet Hawaiian Punch is artificially sweetened, and it has lots of vitamin C. For milk, try the Hood low-carb, low-calorie milk. The chocolate milk is awesome, and it satisfies your taste for something sweet, rich, and chocolatey, and it will provide needed calcium.

Approved desserts include low-carb cheesecake, low-carb pumpkin pie, low-carb sweet potato pie, low-carb ice cream, artificially-sweetened egg custards, low-carb yogurt, and sugar-free puddings. Even though these have much fewer carbs than their sugar-laden counterparts, they do have a significant amount of carbohydrates, so eat them occasionally, for a treat.

What you need to avoid on this diet: potatoes, corn, carrots, acorn squash, butternut squash, regular pasta, white rice, white flour, sugar, peas, most fruits, regular milk, and bread.
