    Contrary to the theories of the low-carb/no carb
manifesto, Dr. Atkins’ Diet Revolution, first published
in 1972 (and the similar books that followed), there’s
nothing inherently fattening about carbohydrates, says
[5] Jean Harvey-Berino, co-author of The EatingWell Diet.
“It’s eating too many calories, period, that makes you
fat.”
    There’s no question that loading up on sugary and
refined-carbohydrate-rich foods, such as white bread,
[10] pasta and doughnuts, can raise your risk of developing
health problems like heart disease and diabetes. But if
you cut out so-called “good-carb” foods, such as whole
grains, beans, fruits and vegetables, you’re missing
out on your body’s main source of fuel as well as vital
[15] nutrients and fiber. What’s more, for many people, a
low-carb diet may be harder to stick with in the long run.
    When a handful of major studies recently compared
low-carb diets with low-fat diets and other approaches
to losing weight, notes Harvey-Berino, they found that in
[20] the first few months, those following the low-carb diets
tended to lose slightly more weight. “That’s because low-

carb diets are more restrictive,” she explains. “Anything
that limits your choices will help you lose weight initially.”
But after a year or as much as three years, weight-loss
[25] differences between the diets tend to even out. One
recent report noted that although there was a greater
weight loss initially, low-carb dieters tended to regain
more weight by the end of three years when compared
with low-fat dieters.
[30]     But Harvey-Berino acknowledges that low-carb
eating can help many people manage their weight —
especially if you’re “one of those people who have a
hard time staying in control when you eat carbohydrate-

rich foods.” No matter how you slice it, the best diet is
[35] one you can stick to, she adds. “If you can stick with an
Atkins-like regimen, then go for it.”

Russian jet intercepts US Navy plane

 

    A Russian Su-27 fighter jet performed an "unprofessional" intercept of a US Navy P-8 surveillance plane while it was flying in international airspace over the Baltic Sea Tuesday, two defense officials told CNN.

    The Russian jet came within about 20 feet of the US aircraft, one official said, adding that the encounter lasted about nine minutes.

    The intercept was described by officials as safe but unprofessional, though a US Navy official told CNN that the Navy does not officially classify aerial encounters that way. The Navy classifies aviation intercepts simply as either safe or unsafe.

    Lt. Cdr. Zach Harrell, a spokesman for US Naval Forces Europe, declined to comment on the specific incident, saying, "US Navy ships and aircraft routinely interact with military units from other countries.". He added that the Navy would provide information on unsafe interactions.

    The last unsafe intercept of a US Navy aircraft by a Russian jet occurred in January when a Russian Su-27 jet flew within five feet of a US Navy EP-3, forcing the Navy plane to fly through its jet wash. The US Navy deemed that intercept unsafe and unprofessional.

    Following that incident, the US State Department issued a statement accusing the Russians of "flagrantly violating existing agreements and international law.".
