The Low Carb High Fat lifestyle, if it ain't broke don't try to fix it !

Roaming around some of the most well known Low Carb and Paleo blogs, over the last few months, I have seen some disappointing posts made. This comes at a time when saturated fats from healthy sources are getting the thumbs up, and sugar and high starch foods are getting thumbs down. Not so long ago, Jimmy Moore was posting up photographs of a breakfast meal containing a whole half pound block of butter and a few eggs, who in their right mind would eat a meal like that ? Now we have Tom Naughton of the Fathead blog pushing carbs and resistant starch. Richard Nickoley at Free The Animal blog, a once proud lowcarber and paleo man has completely lost the plot in recent times. These guys are doing the low carb and paleo lifestyles no good at all in my opinion.

Tom’s changed his mind of what constitutes the ‘Perfect Health Diet’ and carbs are back on the menu. If safe starches don’t work for you, it’s because you are doing it wrong, or you have the wrong gut bacteria, is the general idea. Total hogwash in my opinion. At first I thought Tom was playing the devils advocate to get the kettle whistling on his blog, but no, he actually believes this (this week). RN has been pushing RS for a while, and then we hear a book is on the way. Tom’s a convert, and low and behold he is working on a ‘Perfect Health Diet’ book for kids. The lunatic Evelyn Kocur has been pimping a book ‘Restriction Addiction’ although that much talked about project appears to have gone on the back burner. How long before Jimmy is telling us the keto diet very near killed him, and get those carbs and RS down ya neck with every meal. Obviously another book will be on the way ‘The Keto Killers’

Welcome to the crazy world of Paleo and Low Carb. We get enough nonsense from big pharma and junk food and the likes of the NHS, ADA, and most dietitians etc. etc. now we have so called diet gurus talking nonsense, anything that rings the cash register. These  ‘gurus’ want to add more confusion to the confused. For years I have wondered, why do people with no reported serious health issues such as diabetes, heart disease, thyroid problems etc. etc. spend a huge chunk of their lives discussing diet. It’s a mystery to me, or could the motivation be money?
