Focusing On Fiber
Saturday, July 12th, 2008One of the things that disturbs me the most about low-fat, no-fat, low-carb, no-carb diets is that they focus on what you shouldn’t eat. There are some “high protein” diets out there, but they also focus a great deal of energy on what you shouldn’t eat.
I’d like to discuss fiber, something you SHOULD eat, in high quantity. The low-carb community often glosses over how vitally important fiber is, because fiber is - you guessed it - a carbohydrate. And that was one of my biggest issues with the low-carb craze (which has, thankfully, fallen out of favor), is that it focused on cutting out the very foods you need the most, such as fruits and vegetables!
