Dr. Miriam Berchuk is a Calgary-area physician and active member of the Canadian Clinicians for Therapeutic Nutrition who was interviewed today (June 11, 2018) on CBC Radio (Calgary Eyeopener) about her personal use and promotion of a Low Carb diet for weight loss and specific metabolic conditions related to insulin resistance.
While the interview lasts just a touch over 5 minutes, everything that one needs to know to understand what a low carb diet is (and isn’t!) is clear, as well as when medical supervision should be sought.
If you want to know the basics or are having a difficult time explaining it to others, Dr. Berchuk’s interview should be very helpful.
