LC & Shift Work??
I just read an article in GNC's "Let's Live" Magazine that addressed the idea of a diet for shift workers. It states that the "artificial environment of shift work plays havoc with your metabolism", and contributes to "metabolic syndrome", which involves obesity, high blood fats, impaired glucose tolerance and hypertension. Their suggestion to combat the problems of shift work...."a high-protein, low carbohydrate diet."
I've worked a rotating shift for almost 3 years now, and if LC helps with the shift work blahs, it's just one more motivation to stick with it!
I also noticed several more references in the magazine to eating more protein and starchless carbs, and no sugar. Is LC becoming more acceptable? Let's hope so!
