Cut down on carbohydrates – lose weight – live betterA ‘low-carb’ lifestyle is the dietary trend of the future. In German-speaking countries, too, the view is becoming increasingly accepted within nutritional science that excessive amounts of sugar and starch are primarily responsible for widespread obesity. Many restaurants are now deliberately offering low-carbohydrate dishes, and instead of ‘low-fat’, millions of figure-conscious people are now opting for ‘low-carb’.Nutritionist and author Nicolai Worm, known for his LOGI method, recommends a diet based on vegetables, fruit and vegetable oils, supplemented with protein in the form of meat, fish and dairy products. Rice, pasta or potatoes are only permitted as small side dishes.This gentle low-carb approach is ideal for anyone who wants to lose weight or simply eat more healthily and feel good.About the author:Dr oec. troph.
