Why I chose a Low-Carb Diet

Summary

These sources are written by John Tolman, an engineer who advocates for a low-carbohydrate diet to improve health, arguing that the standard American diet, often low in fat and high in processed foods, is the root cause of widespread health issues. He highlights the problems with excess fructose, found in fruits and fruit juices, as well as the dangers of ultra-processed foods, which he claims are often created by the same companies that once sold cigarettes. Tolman suggests that a carnivore diet, consisting primarily of meat, eggs, and butter, can improve blood sugar control, promote weight loss, and address various metabolic issues.
