Effective Against Metabolic Syndrome

“There’s no doubt that people with metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes do better on low-carb diets”, said Ohio State University’s Professor Jeff Volek. A condition known as metabolic syndrome has a strong correlation with your risk of developing diabetes and heart disease. In fact, the symptoms of metabolic syndrome include:

• Abdominal obesity
• Elevated blood pressure
• Elevated fasting blood sugar levels
• High triglycerides
• Low “good” HDL cholesterol levels

However, all five of these symptoms can be effectively treated with a low-carb diet. These conditions are almost completely removed by such a diet.
