Cart Not every diet is beneficial to every person
Not every diet is beneficial to every person. Some people are in perfect health and likely also have nearly perfect diets. Others may need very strict limits or restrictions on food due to allergies or other conditions. Still others with existing health conditions may need to cut out refined sugars but can enjoy artificially or naturally sweetened foods.
So how do I know if a low-carb diet can benefit you personally?
People metabolize carbohydrates in different ways. Some carbohydrates are beneficial t your health and others can actually be harmful to your health, depending on your own health history. Before you make a change in your diet, you need to take a close look at your self, your family, your lifestyle. Grab a pencil to record the information on your history. And if you haven’t seen your family doctor in a while, call and make an appointment to discuss the plan with him or her.
Knowing your BMI, blood glucose level, total cholesterol level, HDL cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and blood pressure is important . You’ll probably need to take a trip to your family doctor to get much of this information, although you can determine your BMI in Appendix A , and you may be able to get your blood pressure and cholesterol tested in your community.
