All I know is this. I stopped eating any carbs last week. I bought and read, “Why We Get Fat.” I lost 3.5 pounds in a week and I wasn’t hungry. I am sticking with this for a while to see if it works.
I am not against a low carb diet for someone who is having health problems due to being overweight.
I am against idiots who think their own restrictive diet is something everyone should be on in almost every situation -of whatever ilk - vegans, vegetarians, atkinsites, kosher, or whatever.
I am FOR a recognition that Olympic caliber athletes get the majority of their calories from carbohydrates, that healthy people (unless they are Eskimos) should as well, and that biochemically we are set up to metabolize carbohydrates as our primary energy source.
