LOW-CARB ADVICE

If you are one of those dieters who is trying to curb your carbs, you must eat plenty of plant-based protein and not just meat!  Researchers at Simmons College in Boston found that people who ate a low-carb diet filled with plant-based proteins such as nuts, beans, and non starchy produce were 20% less likely to die of any cause than those whose low-carb diets centered on mostly meat.  Plant proteins are full of more nutrients that prevent mortality, folate among them.
