A new study in the BMJ has found that a low-carbohydrate, high-fat (LCHF) diet can provide adequate nutrition. The researchers who ran the study did so because, although the diet is being used more and more by doctors and health practitioners as a tool to dramatically improve their patients' health, there is still "a belief that the diet is devoid of nutrients and concern around its saturated fat content."
Their conclusion?
A well-planned LCHF meal plan can be considered micronutrient replete.
Once again, a common low carb myth is dispelled by science. Read the full article here:
