COMMENTS: My congratulations to Dr. Brasco for compiling such an outstanding review of the concerns that some have when confronted with the "low carb" diet.Dr. Brasco is a close personal friend and is also the physician who covers for me when I go out of town.He is an internist and gastroenterologist and I believe one of the best in the country.It is a strange paradox of medicine that most GI specialist know virtually nothing about nutrition.That is certainly not true of Dr. Brasco who is clearly one of the leading nutritional GI specialists in the country.I could not recommend him more highly if you need a specialist.His number is 847-398-1111.

I typically warn my patients that the diet recommended is NOT low carbohydrate but full of vegetables which are the good carbohydrates.Dr. Brasco provides an incredible review of the literature and some very sound scientific support for what appears to be the diet most of us were designed to eat.

"Eating vegetables directly out of the soil as part of food was good for primitive man," says gastroenterologist Joseph Brasco, M.D., of the Optimal Wellness Center in Schaumburg, Illinois.

"During intense physical activity, your body produces certain hormones like cortisol and adrenaline that temporarily lower immunity," explains Joseph Brasco, MD, an internist and gastroenterologist in Huntsville, Alabama.How much is too much?It depends on your conditioning, but most people shouldn't do more than an hour a day, says Dr. Brasco.
