Low carb diets help metabolic syndrome and obesity but how low should you go ?

In their role in providing weapons for their patients' battle of the bulge, more health professionals are recommending low-carb diets. These plans, which contain varying amounts of protein, fats and carbohydrates, have been shown to help with metabolic syndrome, obesity and diabetes, reported the Free Press on July 29.
University of Alabama researchers provided evidence indicating that low-carb diets should be used first in treating type 2 diabetes. Patients with type 1 diabetes should be given insulin along with guidance on customizing low-carb diets.
Diabetes should be considered a disease of carbohydrate intolerance, said at Barbara Gower, Ph.D., professor and vice chair for research at the university's department of nutrition sciences. Consequently, she views the restriction of carbohydrates as an obvious treatment.
In particular, said Gower, people with type 2 diabetes may experience such dramatic improvement that they can stop taking medication. In addition, the study showed that these individuals often experienced normal blood glucose and weight loss.
