Now that we know about the difference between bad carbs and good carbs we will be better able to maintain a lifestyle that will keep those extra pounds off for the long haul and not just for a few weeks! So stop avoiding good carbs and start avoiding bad carbs!

Low carb diets are still a good idea, but the emphasis must be on a complete diet change and not one that you suffer through for a few short weeks by severely limiting the amount of carbs that you eat. Make your low carbohydrate diet worthwhile and get the information you need to make the right decision about your health.
