Low Carb High Protein
Robin, This is in response to your experience with carbs and blood pressure and I need to dispel this myth. This may be your personal experience but blood pressure is positively affected by complex carbohydrates. Take the DASH (Dietary Approached to Stop Hypertension) Diet for example, which promotes whole grain breads & cereals, fruits & vegetables and lowfat dairy products. All of these items are complex carbohydrates which have been shown to lower blood pressure when combined with exercise, a lower sodium intake, higher potassium intake and weight management. In terms of the term 'net carbs', this is NOT a legal term and has no formal definition from the FDA. Instead, this is a term invented by food manufacturers to sell their products. I posted a response explaining 'net carbs' a few days ago. Thanks!
