Re: Low carb, low fat for IBS       11/06/09 06:36 AM Edit Reply Quote Ulrika Reged: 08/20/06 Posts: 581 Loc: Uppsala, Sweden I don't believe in this approach. After all you need energy! I lost a lot of weight when I followed the EFI and had lots of carbs. If you were to cut out carbs too that would be like a diet people who compete in bodyfitness follow to lose bodyfat to an extreme level. Now there are people with IBS who do better on a high fat low carb diet (although it's not very popular to state this on the EFI board). But I think you do need to try one approach strictly at a time and see what works best for you. I personally believe that neither a low-fat-high-carb diet or a high-fat-low-carb diet is optimal for health. I think the optimum is somewhere in between, but when you have IBS you have to find a balance that works. But going both low fat and low carb does not seem like a good idea to me anyway. /Ulrika Print     Remind Me     Notify Moderator
