The Risks of a High Carb Diet

If you are new to the low-carb, high-fat lifestyle, you might ask yourself why would you have to switch from the low-fat diets which are so strongly advocated by doctors and the USDA.

Well let’s look at what happens in your body when you eat a low fat and high carbohydrate diet.

Our DNA is not designed to follow a high carb diet.

Our bodies still contain the same exact genes as our ancestors, who were hunter-gatherers and had much different eating patterns than ours.

Their sugar consumption was around 1 pound per year. The average American in 2013 consumed around 156 pounds!! This is not counting the simple carbs eaten as refined flours and starches.

The great increase in carb consumption is one of the main reasons for the surge in degenerative diseases in our modern society. Obesity, Diabetes, Cardiovascular Disease, Cancer…

The latest research is linking all of these conditions to metabolic problems.

Alzheimer’s is now called Type 3 Diabetes! (1)

High carb diets are now linked to high cholesterol and heart disease (Read this post to learn more about it)

But the list does not end here.

A high carb diet leads to digestive problems, high inflammation in the body, chronic pain, anxiety, depression.
