The participants included more than 85,000 women under the age of 60 and 44,000 men from the ages of 40  to 75 years. The participants were free from heart disease, <a title=\"New Way to Prevent Cancer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/diet_column\/11\/new-way-to-prevent-cancer\/\" target=\"_self\">cancer<\/a>, and diabetes. The study found that the death rate among people who adhered most closely to a low carb regimen was 12 percent higher over 20 years than with those who consumed diets higher in carbohydrates.<\/p>\n<p>What was interesting was that the rate of death varied based upon the foods the dieter chose to replace the missing carbohydrates with.Those who ate more beans and nuts were 20 percent less likely to die  than those who ate a high-carbohydrate diet. But, low carb dieters who ingested the majority of their protein and fat from animal  sources, like red and processed meats, were 14 percent more likely to die  of heart disease and 28 percent more likely to die of cancer.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>If you want to lose weight and find that cutting out breads and pastas leads to weight loss, make sure that you fill in those missing spots with healthy choices like <a title=\"almonds\" href=\"\/\/www.dietsinreview.com\/videos\/food-finds-california-almond-snack-packs\/\" target=\"_self\">almonds<\/a>, lentils, and beans and avoid the saturated fat-filled steak, bacon and ribs that many people would select.
