Why go low carb?

Good Morning!! Now what I'm doing like I had already explained on my previous post is switching to a low Carb high Fat lifestyle.

 My go-to website www.dietdoctor.com/lchf  owned by Dr Andreas Eenfeldt is the best place to go to truly understand the nitty-gritty behind this life style, it's my LCHF Bible.

It's unfortunate though that fat had been painted so bad in the past by the media and some health professionals, who made people believe that it's the cause of raised cholesterol and heart diseases.
Lots of people stop eating Banga because " They" said it's bad for you. One of my favourite soup, Egusi even got a bad rap in the fat demonistion. Thankfully, things are changing.

Series of human studies on fat have been going on since 2002 and in all of them low carb diet came out tops. Not only does it help in weigh loss but it greatly improves cholesterol.

Why Go Low Carb High Fat

There are lots of benefits associated in reducing the amount of carb and increasing the amount of good fat in our diet
