The simple low carb diet: 5 foods to avoid

Dr. Dan Eichenbaum recommends a simple diet for diabetics.  It's a low carbohydrate diet:

I explain to my patients that eating carbohydrates is like putting diesel fuel in a vehicle that can only run on gasoline.

Just as a gas engine won't burn diesel, a diabetic's "engine" cannot burn carbohydrates.

He makes it simple by just restricting five foods:

• bread and baked goods
• potatoes and root vegetables
• rice
• pasta
  
• fruit except for berries

I think this is a good diet for us all, not just diabetics.
