Do we need to eat a low carbohydrate diet? I do not know. Cats DO, but I am unclear about us humans.

speaking of low-carb diets... from Jeff Galloway, an expert in marathon running (no, I do not run, I just read about it
).
"Low-Carb Diets Don't Tell You This
- You don't burn fat - many gain fat
- The weight loss is usually water loss, with glycogen loss
- Almost everyone on this diet resumes regular eating, within a few weeks or months
- Almost all low-carb dieters gain back more weight than they lost.
- You lose the energy and motivation to exercise
- You lose exercise capacity than can help to keep the weight off when you resume eating normally
- Your metabolism rate goes down-making it harder to keep the weight off

If he is right, and I respect him a lot and he has taught numerous marathon training sessions throughout the country and has competed himself even while injured and has written books etc.... then cats and people are very different.
