Chapter 1 review - Chapter 2 review - Chapter 3 review
Chapter 4 review
In chapter 5, Jonny Bowden tackles the five biggest myths of low-carb diets. If you have been low carbing for any length of time, you have likely heard versions of all five of these. He covers these and other myths in less detail in the next chapter, but these five are the "big ones" that require longer explanations. What are these myths? Here you go:
1) Low-carbohydrate diets induce ketosis, a dangerous metabolic state.
2) Low-carbohydrate diets cause calcium loss, bone loss, and/or osteoporosis.
3) High-protein diets cause damage to the kidneys.
4) The only reason you lose weight on a low-carb diet is because it's low in calories.
5) Low-carb diets increase the risk for heart disease.
These are all untrue myths, widely believed, and sometimes the exact opposite of the truth. Be ready to be challenged when you read this chapter.
