Herbalist draws fire from low-carb diet supporters
by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
Herbalist Gina Lindhart, with her assertions about the toxicity of low carb diets still lingering in the blogosphere, has drawn the ire of low-carb dieters like Jimmy Moore, who takes Lindhart to task over several assumptions made in her Hurricane Valley Journal article.
One of the more interesting aspects of this blog for me is reading what people think about the low-carb lifestyle from every angle possible.
Bless her heart, Lindhardt thinks she has got the low-carb lifestyle pegged with her little op-ed column.
I hate to burst her bubble, but she is probably one of the most extremist opposers to livin' la vida low-carb that I've seen with the lies and misinformation she communicates in this story.
She obtained her Master's Herbalist degree and oftens shares with her customers about how eating organic food products can help them improve their quality of life.
With a background like that, you would think Lindhardt would be open to a lifestyle program that shuns processed foods and sugar.
Declaring the "infatuation with low carbs and high protein" as being "finally over," Lindhardt wrote that the low-carb lifestyle has "fallen out of flavor" and that people should be glad that it is gone.
Lindhardt admits that for her and "a billion other people on this continent," losing weight is "always a constant struggle" and causes them to try any and every diet out there.
Livin' la vida low-carb has given me the freedom to eat a lot of the foods I love with only a few minor changes here and there.
That's why low-carb plans encourage participants to consume fat so your body can kickstart your fat-burning capacity into high gear.
I am not worried about them failing me because of low-carb.
Regarding meat consumption, GET OVER IT ALREADY!
Does a natural foods expert like Lindhardt believe vitamins are not a vital part of a healthy weight maintenance program?
We really need to be looking at lowering and/or eliminating our sugar consumption instead of anguishing over fat.
