“Examinations of the animals’ bone marrow and peripheral blood showed that the measures of EPC cells dropped fully 40 percent among the mice on the low-carb diet – after only two weeks,” says Rosenzweig. “Although the precise nature and role of these cells is still being worked out – and caution is always warranted in extrapolating from effects in mice to a clinical situation – these results succeeded in getting me off the low-carb diet.”

It’s higher in carbs than my current diet. But, it’s probably much lower in carbs than the typical Western diet.

Based on your description, your diet is also more nutrient-dense and fiber-rich than the average diet. It’s probably considerably lower in calories too. All of those factors generally help promote general health and a reasonable weight.

My weight loss continues (thankfully). I think I have another 10 to 15 pounds left until I reach my ideal weight.

Thank you for stopping by.

Be well!

I’m not sure if my diet is low cab or high carb. It’s pretty devoid of processed carbs. Breakfast is oats groats porridge with frozen berries. Lunch is salad with mackerel. Supper is usually barley soup with chicken broth. Evening snack is 1/2 cup of yogurt with raw nuts.

I eat no potatoes or rice.

So JP, I would call that a moderately high carb diet, would you agree?

I’ve been doing well on the weight picture but haven’t lost like you have.

Be well,

JP
