South Beach Diet Side Effects
If you're following a low-carb diet, there's a good chance you're
not getting enough fiber. Most people know that low-carb dieting
calls for eliminating sugar and starches, but cutting out carbs
also means cutting down on some of the best sources of dietary fiber,
which can cause irregularity and other more serious gastrointestinal
health problems.

to talk about," says Pamela Peeke, M.D., M.P.H., a nationally
renowned nutrition expert and author of Fight Fat After Forty (Viking
Penguin). "But many low-carb dieters do suffer gastrointestinal
problems from reduced fiber intake."
