Summary
The Common Voice recently printed Jimmy Moore's blog, "Livin' La Vida Low-Carb," in which he states Americans sometimes use their low-carb diet to eat food that is still bad for them, the worst of which is the donut.

We all have our favorite foods, even those of us who are on an eating plan that other have described as "extremely restrictive."
This has always amused me because the foods choices on most other "diet" programs such as low-fat/low-calorie programs are a lot more limited in their food choices than low-carb is.
But there is one food that you should absolutely avoid completely when you are on a low-carb lifestyle (or ANY weight loss plan for that matter!).
The worst possible food you could eat when you are livin' la vida low-carb is a doughnut (check out the carb content -- it'll astound you!).
Not only are they chock full of sugar and white flour, but they can be extremely addictive, too.
As the top baked dessert in America today, it's hard to avoid this innocent-looking food that can literally destroy your low-carb progress.
It's just not worth blowing your low-carb plan by giving in to this empty pleasure.
Make up your mind now that this is important enough for you to do that you will commit to refraining from eating anything that could derail you from achieving anything but incredible weight loss success.
If you can eat one every once in a while and not let it have an effect on your weight, then go for it.
But most of us who have been under the heavy hand of the fat bug for our entire lives don't need to put anything in our mouths that will be detrimental to the cause.
Perhaps those people who are not on a low-carb lifestyle are buying MORE doughnuts than they previously did or have started buying doughnuts now whereas they had not done so in the past.
Too much sugar and flour spells doom and danger for anyone doing
low-carb.
