I can&#x27;t take advice seriously if it is to &quot;avoid all carbohydrates&quot; since one of the healthiest things you can do for your heart, intestines, and waistline is to increase your dietary fibre intake. Protein is certainly important too, and fat isn&#x27;t as scary as it was made out to be in the 90s, but carbs are fine in smaller doses, and especially in the presence of water soluble fibre (to lower the GL).<p>If you want to be skinny eat cottage cheese with carrots and hummus.
