You know, fitness and nutrition guy Jon Benson has a humorous way of putting things that we all need to hear. I received this email from him today and had to share it with you. It's not only funny, it's true.

6 Strange Dietary Bedfellows

—————————————————————–|

Lewis, what do these six things have in common?

– McDonalds
– Renée Zellweger
– Epileptic children
– Yours truly
– Most bodybuilding and fitness competitors
– Kiefer Sutherland

Give up?

All the above employ the strategies of the low-carb dietplan.

Recently researchers have found that low-carb nutrition plan
reduced the number of seizures in epileptic children.

Most of the world's leanest physiques get that way on a
regimen, limited or not, of low-carbs and higher protein.

Even McDonalds is getting into the act.

Even Renée Zellweger.

Even Kiefer Sutherland.

Even me.

Kinda.

Read on and I'll explain what I mean….

 Why Low-Carb Works

—————————————————————–|

When McDonalds starts counting carb grams in their food, you
know someone is either jumping on a trend or finally seeing
the light.

In this case, both — but it is a good thing. Low-carb
dietplans. They work.

For the masses, they work because they are the easiest
nutrition plan to follow when you're busy.

McDonalds and stars like Kiefer Sutherland figured this out.
The busy on-the-go guy or gal doesn't want to make the time to
prepare six meals per day and carry them around in Tupperware.

When choosing my own lifestyle nutrition plan, time and
convenience played a major role. I looked at role models who
were very busy, formerly obese, and very lean.

Most of them rely in some form or fashion on a low-carb
strategy.

Low-carb also works, much to the hem and haw of traditional
doctors and nutritionists, due to the way the body processes
fuel.

For those of us fortunate enough to grow up on whole grains
and very low-sugar mealplans, a moderate to higher-carb
nutrition plan may work just fine.

But most of us grew up eating junk.

Processed foods, fast foods, and downright junk was the
cornerstone of our dietplans. That puts your body on the carb
defense.

After years of abuse the body becomes resistant to
carbohydrates. The insulin they produce can cause all sorts of
health issues, fat-burning problems, and more.

When carbs are removed, even healthy carbs like whole grains,
the body has time to re-adjust.

In some cases, you can go back to a moderate-carb plan with
whole grains and fruits after a period of time.

In others, you are a "Low-carber" for life.

Guess which one I am?

Finally, low-carb works because you tend to eat less. Fat is
very satiating, and most low-carb plans are fairly high in
dietaryfat.

So, in recap:

– Easy and convenient;
– Metabolically important for carb recovery;
– Lower in total food volume (eat less)

Do not make light of that first point. Any plan that is not
simple is one very few people will stick to. Making your plan
simple and tasty is key, even if that plan is not perfect by
nutritional standards.

Now, by far, the best low-carb dietplan in the world (yes, I'm
bias for good reason!) is this:

EODD works so well because your carbs are low for "most" of
the time. Not "all" of the time. And the times when your carbs
are not low you can enjoy your favorite foods.

Personally I enjoy pizza and burgers on my non-low-carb days.
You can enjoy whatever you want if you just keep it reasonable.

You see, there's no need to diet-perfect.

Progress always trumps perfection.

 Why Low-Carb Fails

—————————————————————–|

There are two primary reasons for the failure of the low-carb
nutrition plans: boredom and media bashing.

One causes irritability. The other, doubt. Unless you're
certain that your plan will work, you will eventually go off
of it.

This is true of any plan, no matter how ideal it is. Certainty
rules.

That's why I believe in having a flexible, tasty plan like EODD.

Then boredom is easily solved.

I share my own unique ideas about "cycling" carbs and fats in
the presentation here:

Using my cycle strategy you will rarely if ever become bored.
And your body will shed more bodyfat too. It's just a cheap
metabolic trick…but boy, it works.

The second reason is media and medical bias. One study after
another has proven that low-carb plans, even the Atkins plan,
works and is safe to use for most people.

Check with your doctor first, of course.

I've seen researchers get down-right angry when the results
come back. In one study, carried out for a full year, the low-
carb plan out-performed the so-called "healthy" Dean Ornish
plan.

Lower blood fats, more fatloss, and more energy were the
results.

My preference always comes back to low-carb nutrition. I just
cycle it in a way that allows me to get plenty of veggies,
some grains, and ample fiber.

Even a slice of cheesecake here and there… : )

Hey…I said "low-carb", not low-life!

Yours In Fitness,

P.S. One of these days the mainstream medical community will
wake up to the fact that 90% of the population will never eat
15 servings of veggies per day.

While this may be "optimal", it's not at all practical. I'd
rather give you down-to- earth practical nutrition advice that
you CAN and WILL follow and enjoy.

Makes sense, doesn't it?
