Are low-carb diets truly the most expensive and nutritionally unbalanced options out there?

Prepare to have these common myths busted as we welcome Dr Caryn Zinn., an Associate Professor at Auckland University of Technology and a dedicated advocate for low-carb and keto nutrition and your host Nicole Moore.

Dr Zinn takes us through her transformative journey from initial scepticism to becoming a vocal supporter of these dietary principles, especially in managing type 2 diabetes.

With collaborations alongside experts like Dr Caryn and connections with influential figures such as Professor Tim Noakes, Dr Zinn brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to our discussion.

Together, we tackle the myth that low-carb diets are prohibitively expensive, revealing that the real cost difference is minimal when you factor in the reduction of health-related expenses and the elimination of costly processed foods.

Dr Zinn shares practical tips and real-life examples, such as a GP clinic in South Auckland successfully implementing low-carb diets in low socioeconomic Maori and Pacific Island communities.

We also debunk the misconception that low-carb cannot meet nutritional needs, demonstrating how a well-planned diet can provide balanced nutrition.

Discover how incorporating a variety of foods and mindful nutrient tracking can lead to a nutritionally robust low-carb lifestyle.

Join us on the Low Carb Keto Health Podcast as we embark on an insightful journey to unravel the differences between low-carb and ketogenic diets.

Accredited dietitian Nicole Moore guides us through the essential distinctions, highlighting how a low-carb diet involves around 50 grams of carbohydrates per day, significantly lower than the standard Australian diet, which can exceed 200 grams daily.

In contrast, a ketogenic diet restricts carbs to 20 grams or less per day with higher fat consumption.

Nicole shares valuable insights on how these dietary approaches can impact inflammation, insulin resistance, and chronic diseases such as epilepsy, cancer, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's.

She emphasizes that the choice between these diets should be based on individual health conditions and metabolic wellness, with keto often being more suitable for severe health issues and low-carb beneficial for overall health improvement.

Listen in as we explore the health benefits and challenges of maintaining a low-carb or ketogenic lifestyle.

Discover the significant advantages of ketosis, including reduced hunger, decreased inflammation, and enhanced brain function, which can be particularly beneficial for conditions like Alzheimer's and epilepsy.

We also address the practical challenges of sticking to a ketogenic diet long-term, especially regarding food restrictions.

To help you sustain these diets while maintaining nutritional balance, we provide practical tips for incorporating a variety of non-starchy vegetables, nuts, seeds, and low-carb products to ensure adequate fibre, vitamins, and antioxidants.

Tune in to learn how to achieve a balanced, healthful approach to low-carb and keto living.
