The problems associated with reduced carb diets
Its popular as hell, but it is truly safe for you?
Eliminating carbohydrates might mean missing out on needed nutrients from 'good' carbohydrate foods which must be part of any sensible diet, especially those that we get from vegetables, grains and fruits.
Higher consumption of animal-based products could lead into increased consumption of saturated fat and cholesterol, which some authorities believe will increase the probability of heart conditions.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, chives and spring onions)
The alliaceae family of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe may be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is not enough, definitive proof available, allyl sulfides are also thought by nutritionalists to aid in antiinflammatory effect, arteriosclerosis and physical exhaustion.
Foods containing allyl sulfides are low in calories, so make sure you add them to your weight loss regime.
