Heart-Healthy Eating with Restraints?

If you’re looking for a heart-healthy weight-loss diet to try, it appears that low-carbohydrate might be more effective than low-fat.The low-carbohydrate diet was more effective for weight loss and cardiovascular risk factor reduction than the low-fat diet. Restricting carbohydrate may be an option for persons seeking to lose weight and reduce cardiovascular risk factors.A brand new study published in Archives of Internal Medicine concluded that eating more legumes (such as beans, chickpeas, and lentils) improved blood sugar control and slashed heart disease risk for patients with type 2 diabetes.But bean benefits don't stop there. Legumes are a powerful weight-loss super food. One study found that regular bean eaters have smaller waistlines and a 22 percent lower risk of obesity. In part this may be because they’re a top source of fiber. One cup of black beans and lentils each packs a whopping 15 grams, 60 percent of the recommended daily minimum.
