Q. How does a vegetarian achieve a low carbohydrate diet? I thought I was eating healthily, but my blood sugar is creeping up and my waistline is over 38 inches.
A. Belly fat is linked to heart disease (Obesity Reviews, online, April 27, 2011). Carbohydrates contribute to this problem, so a low-carb diet can help reduce belly fat (presented at the Endocrine Society’s annual meeting, 2011).
To learn more about the specifics of such diets and our favorite foods and recipes, we are sending you a copy of our new book from National Geographic, The People’s Pharmacy Quick & Handy Home Remedies. It is available online at PeoplesPharmacy.com. Nuts, soy protein and low-starch veggies are the keys to success.
