Does a low carb diet lower the amount of good bacteria in your gut?
Q. If I go on a low carb diet, will it lower the amount of good bacteria in my gut? Also, if I take probiotics, will they be able to be sustained in my gut on a low carb diet or will the probiotics be ineffective in providing benefits if I am on a low carb diet? Thanks.

A. No, a "low carb" diet will not ruin the good bacteria in your gut unless you're eating way too much cheese. The probiotics would be a good idea too. Also, "low carb" diets are not a good idea. Better to eat plenty of unrefined carbs like fruits and veggies for fiber. If you're eating just protein or fat it's not good for the kidneys, esp. long term. Dr. Atkins, who popularized the low carb diets died of a heart attack after all. If you are really looking the best way to diet, I suggest doing what this mom did and combining the Acai diet with a cleansing program for the best result

What is a good diet that is healthy and easy to stick to?
Q. I've tried several diets. I really, really love the nutrisystem diet, but it was just really to expensive for me. I would like to hear your ideas and why you feel this way towards the diet you tell me about. If you've had any success with a diet, I'd love to hear about it. I'm just looking for an easy and fun diet that would work for me. I love to eat healthy, actually, I just love to eat. Any advice and (nice) thoughts you have about dieting & excersize I'd love to know. Thanks so much for taking time to answer my question. Have a great night!
