All foods contain some carbohydrates, which is the term which describes molecules made up of carbon, oxygen, and hydrogen. The human body is designed to break carbohydrates down into sugars quickly and efficiently, and to use the sugars to fuel itself. No diet should be without a least a small amount of carbohydrates.

Those low carb foods should be supplemented with large amounts of fresh low carb vegetables and fruits, which will be low-fat and low calorie. The low carb fruits and vegetables will break up the monotony of a protein heavy diet, and supply filling fiber and other essential nutrients.

* …the list is endless.

The body has pretty sophisticated antioxidant defense systems. But, the body CAN get overwhelmed in its antioxidant protections against such free radicals…

First of all, what are antioxidants? They are molecular substances which offset free radical damage to the body. Antioxidants, “quench” free radicals (for lack of a better metaphor) neutralizing their damaging effects on the cells of the body.

The truth is that a diet consisting of only proteins and fats will be extremely short on fiber and nutrients, and throw your system so far out of balance that you are at risk for serious cardiovascular and digestive problems. If you want to give a low carb diet a try, the best way to go about it is to stick with low carb foods which still have a full complement of nutrients.
