Diets without carbohydrates and without any form of sugar are fashionable: fruit and nuts are also abolished, in addition to carbohydrates, some diets prescribe only the consumption of animal proteins and fats and some types of vegetables , but not all, such as green leafy vegetables, while carrots, squash, beets and some vegetables are banned. In short, a very restrictive diet is the one that is most in vogue nowOn the one hand, it tells you that you can eat animal protein and fat like there’s no tomorrow. On the other hand, it bans you carbohydrates forever with conspiracy theories without any foundation (cereals are bad for the Paleolithic men did not need them! The Neolithic ones have started to get sick! Doctors are all conspiracy theorists! Run around !!!) . Unfortunately for them, our bodies run on sugars. This is why a protein diet is bad, and should not be continued for more than 15 days, if it does not even include the consumption of fruit . The risk of eating a diet without carbohydrates forever, told the papal, which can not be said simpler, is death .

Of course, “sugar” hurts , but this does not mean completely cutting carbohydrates from our life, but rather paying attention to what types of sugars we introduce: so yes to carbohydrates, fruit sugars, sugars with a low glycemic index. No to refined sugars, refined flours and so on . It doesn’t seem too difficult. But nothing: the carbohydrate-free diet proliferates , despite the very high health risks, like this one, of a repentant Dukanian , or even here, in a very interesting article that criticizes all the pseudotheories that promote high-protein diets, article that we find on the website of the ‘Italian Association of Eating and Weight Disorders. This is science. For science fiction I always recommend a good movie, instead of ruining your health.
