“Because of one dead Doctor and a fad diet?”

Oh grow up. There’s more than one dr who admits this is a healthier way of eating. There are children who are prescribed such a diet for seizure control. You’re mentality is outdated & proven false.

Saying it doesn't make it so.

For the vast majority of human history - back when fat people were almost unheard of outside a few sedentary aristocrats - humans gained the vast majority of their dietary calories through carbohydrates.

A healthy person eating a healthy diet should get the majority of their calories through carbohydrates.

This “mentality” is based upon knowledge of human history, anthropology, biochemistry, and hundreds of years of observation.

Compared to that we have one dead Dr. and a fad diet and its fanatical adherents claiming that because they were obese and lost weight on a restrictive diet then EVERYBODY should do the same - even if they are at a healthy weight.

They are the anti-vegitarians; just as self-righteous and pig headed in their near religious devotion to a restrictive diet they think everyone should adhere to.

Here's something else interesting: Prior to the development of drugs for diabetes, the oft-recommended diet/cure was one of meat and fat with zero to very, little "sugars" or "starches".

They knew stuff then that is common-sense, but that we have been talked out of by the govt. and some flawed science.
