In this podcast, I want to cover the most common low-carb myths. 

9 low-carb myths, and what I have to say about them: 

1. Low-carb is a fad diet. (A fad is an intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something that is short-lived) 

• The keto diet is growing in popularity because it works.

2. It’s okay for weight loss, but not for long-term health.

• Why would something work short-term and not long-term?

3. All that fat is unhealthy. 

• We recommend healthy fats. Fats have benefits. 

4. It’s not sustainable. 

• Low-carb diets get rid of cravings and hunger. 

5. It’s not healthy to omit a food group.

• There is no such thing as healthy sugar or refined carbohydrates. 

6. Low-carb means you have to cut down on vegetables.

• We recommend 7-10 cups of vegetables a day. 

7. The brain needs carbs—you’ll be tired.

• Your brain thrives on ketones. 

8. It’s not good for a diabetic.

• Low-carb may actually help your blood sugar levels. 

9. Low-carb means high-protein 

• We recommend a moderate amount of protein.
