The question of safety has always arisen in regard to low-carb diets. That’s because some low-carb diet plans restrict all carbohydrate foods from the diet. Eliminating carbohydrate from your diet is almost impossible, but some diets require you to get down to 10 or 20 grams of carbs per day. These kinds of severe carbohydrate diets not only restrict vital nutrients from the diet but the body also loses vital nutrients. And as you can guess, when you lose vital nutrients, you can end up in poor health. Modern-day proponents of very-low-carb diets recognize this problem and are adamant in recommending vitamin and mineral supplements to cover the losses. Now think about it: Can a diet plan that requires supplements to replace lost nutrients from food be good?

The Whole Foods Weight Loss Eating Plan doesn’t completely eliminate carbs from your diet. In fact, you must eat some carbohydrates, like those found in fresh fruits and vegetables, to maintain good health. There’s no way to get the necessary fiber, vitamins, and minerals, on a regular basis without some carbs. Here I show you how to pick the best and leave the rest.
