Summary
Are there too many carbs in your diet? We hear from someone who is concerned because their nutrition app says they're eating more carbs than they should. Dr. Neal Barnard joins "The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll to discuss the amount and type of carbs you should be including in your diet.
Plus, Dr. Barnard answers other questions from The Doctor's Mailbag:
- Is fiber destroyed by freezing fruits and vegetables?
- Which foods can cause migraines?
- What are healthy options for salad dressing?
- And many more!
Chuck also details a new lawsuit filed against the USDA by a group of doctors who accuse the agency of ignoring well-accepted scientific evidence about the diseases linked to meat and dairy consumption in the latest Dietary Guidelines.
