I actually like that website a lot. I particularly like his synopsis at the end:
Do you see the trend here?
1.Good = whole grains, vegetables, fruits, some dairy, a little lean meat,
monounsaturated fats, fiber, fluids, exercise ... the basics.
2.Bad = LCBS, inflated promises, sat and trans fats.
"Carbophobia" is a kernel of truth blown all out of rational and scientific
proportion.
Habits and cravings do not equate to addiction.
Insulin resistance is the result, not the cause, of obesity, and is not rampant.
Weight loss/gain is all about calories in minus calories out.
The average American's primary path to better health is eating fewer calories and exercising more.
There are STILL no safe, long-term-effective, canned shortcuts to health or losing weight! The bottom line remains
unchanged: learn to enjoy healthy food, eat plenty of it, virtually eliminate saturated fat and trans fats and similar junk food,
exercise, and get more sleep and water. The simplest approach for many is to stop cold turkey on bringing sat-fat and junk
food into our homes. Just stop buying -- and soon you'll no longer miss -- bacon, ice cream, butter/margarine, whole milk,
burgers, cheese, and processed crap like cookies and chips and donuts. The amount of those I've eaten in the last 15 years
would fit in one mixing bowl ... and I eat like a horse afire. We should die from age and genes, not junk food, and eating our
fill of healthy food and burning it off at hard play is a great way to do that. If you prefer donuts to a longer life, perhaps it's your
life that needs improving.
This refelects my own basic approach to a healthy BB lifestyle and IT WORKS. I've always been a proponant of getting a blood glucose challenge done BEFORE you embark on an ultra low carb diet because if you don't have any insulin resistance problems then there is really no need to subject your body to this type of diet with it's almost guaranteed rebound problems. He's not knocking high protein diets as such, but quite sensibly knocking any diet that is unbalanced and completely eliminates entire classes of foods without good cause.
Keep in mind this guy was not writing about BBs so his recommendations should be viewed as they apply to your average couch spud. There are times in a BBs life when more protein is beneficial!
