That's all we ever hear from people about why Americans are fat. But guess what? We're STILL fat and getting fatter. Anyone wanna take a guess why that is? Could it be we are a nation overconsuming sugar and other refined carbohydrates? WAY overconsuming! Until our government and health leaders stop monopolizing the nutrition message in the U.S., we'll NEVER see a measurable change in obesity statistics.

In the NYT piece, they also tried saying to not write off the low-fat diet and that maybe it's just the type of fat bla bla bla. The interesting part was this brief paragraph in the middle of the article that wasn't really connected to any other thoughts: "There is a common belief that Americans get fat because they eat too many carbohydrates. The idea is that a high-carbohydrate, low-fat diet leads to weight gain, higher insulin and blood glucose levels, and more diabetes, even if the calories are the same as in a higher-fat diet. That did not happen here." Well I guess this whole low-carb thing is just a myth. Hmmm... but how'd I loose that 45 lbs again? And why am I not 230 lbs again 5 years later? How is it that I am able to manage my weight easily and reliably? I can't seem to remember what dietary change I made... ;) Their diet failed, so they wanted to take a jab at something that does work, but happens to be contrary to almost everything they've ever said.

It's horrible. Since going on a low-carb diet I've lost 60+ pounds, have stable energy, and my acne went away. I'm never going back and the people who put my diet down usually get an earful. I'm also writing more than ever about low-carb in my blog now. I'm not on Protein Power, but was reading about PP in a book today and it's very highly rated (5 stars out of 5 possible).
