Any grain free low carbers?

[Milton]

Are there any grain free low carbers out there and if so what do you recommend that has and or is working for you? and how has it affected your over diet?

I have a few clients who tried grain free low carb (both for health & philosophical reasons) and I have to say its a bad idea.

By avoiding grains they always suffer from digestive problems such as constipation, etc.
It limits you to fruits, veggies (which you have to eat a load of to get enough fibre to avoid constipation) and only a few starchy carbs such as sweet potatoes & carrots.

I think grain free & low carb are fine by themselves, but combining the two is a terrible idea unless you want to feel uncomfortable & not fully replenish muscle glycogen (very important to training).

Good point! I just eat a little bit of grains. Gotta have my oats and on occasion I eat breads and pasta. I like rice too.

I didnt know that carrots are starch!! I know that a carrot ranks high on the GI.
