The new low-carb diet

Low-carb diets work - if the international success of the Dukan and Atkins diets has taught us anything, it's that. But they're usually hard to stick to and often unhealthy. Here Laura Lamont, a qualified nutritional therapist, brings us a healthy new take on low-carb dieting. Laura explains how eating a nutritionally sound combination of controlled amounts of complex carbohydrates, protein and 'good' fats (in foods such as avocados, salmon and flaxseed) at the right times of day can bring about healthy, long-lasting weight loss.
