Five Low-Carb Myths Debunked

By Dietdoctor @DietDoctor1

Are you ready for the destruction of a few choice low-carb myths? A week ago I participated in a discussion, invited by a very popular Brazilian health site. Here’s the video – the English part starts at 2:28, after an introduction in Portuguese.

Some of the myths we discuss are:

  • Myth: Carbohydrates are an essential part of a healthy diet.
  • Myth: Fats are fattening and cause heart problems.
  • Myth: Cholesterol in food is bad for your heart.
  • Myth: To lose weight you need to count calories.
  • Myth: Exercise is effective for weight loss.

Did you ever believe in any of these myths? I did.
