The Truth About Carbs
New Free Consumer Guide Sorts
Out Fact From Fiction
WOODBURY, N.Y., Nov. 4, 2003 -- Is it true that only
carbs can turn to body fat or that all carbs are bad for your
health? While the new pseudo-science making the rounds might
make you think so, it's not true. Low carb, extreme diets have
taken the sound idea of cutting back on empty calories and
hijacked it into flawed thinking. The truth is that all
calories count (not just carbs) and many carbs -- including
fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and non-fat dairy -- provide
essential nutrients and are vital to your health and
well-being.
To clear up the growing misinformation about carbohydrates and
clarify their true role in healthy eating and weight loss,
Weight Watchers has published a free 15-page consumer service
guide called The Truth About Carbs.

With a long history of providing science-based, weight-loss
programs that are safe, healthy, and focused on the long term,
Weight Watchers uses the guide to provide consumers with the
straight-talking information they need to separate fact from
fiction. The guide is broken into three parts:
The Truth About Carbs -- shows that by dramatically
reducing food choices no-carb and low-carb diets result in
both calorie reduction and the loss of essential nutrients
contained in foods such as fruits and whole grains. This
section also explains why weight lost on restrictive low-carb
diets typically snaps back once normal eating habits resume.
Food Choices Count Too -- looks realistically at how
food choices affect health, eating satisfaction, and the
ability to keep lost weight off. Reveals why "all or nothing"
dieting is unhealthy -- and unsustainable.
Finding Your Carb Fit -- explains that all carbs are
not nutritionally equal, with a two-page Carbs Scorecard that
ranks 10 types of foods containing carbs according to their
nutrition and health benefits.
