How To Live A Low Carb Lifestyle And Be Healthy

How can I live a low-carb lifestyle and be healthy?

I think one of the positives that has come out of these high protein, low carbohydrate diets, like the Atkins diet, is they have taught people about different kinds of carbohydrates: processed carbohydrates versus whole, not processed carbohydrates. For example, we are now seeing many more foods that are marketed, made with whole grains. Before Atkins came along and some of these high protein diets came along, people didn't really understand the difference between say, white bread and 100 percent whole wheat bread, or white rice and brown rice. Brown rice is always going to be the better choice, as there's much more nutrition in there - the same thing with anything that you are comparing with whole grains. So it has taught us, or the general population, that there is a difference between carbohydrates. There are not so good ones and better ones.
