“I have a friend with diabetes who took this information to his doctor and the doctor said we were quacks, so he still eats a high carb, diabetes-doctor approved diet.”
I know a couple of people like that. Dr. Jason Fung, another leader in this area tells a story of one his patients (an older woman), after having everything explained to her by Dr. Fung, says “That’s great, I’ll have to tell my doctor about it”.
Trust me, they know. For them, going off grid to recommend Keto is a combination of whether they actually believe it works (if it doesn’t, this thread is already full of liars, which, of course, is not the case), and whether they are even PERMITTED to talk about it, much less recommend it. And there’s a whole story in that area.

Podcast & info you might be interested in that covers this subject - people such as Dr. Fettke & Professor Noakes are being threatened, charged/persecuted for going against the establishment (the big food/pharma ‘Deep State’):
Where the heck did these crazy nutritional guidelines come from, anyway? Revisionist history with Gary Fettke, MD
https://carnivoremd.com/where-the-heck-did-these-crazy-nutritional-guidelines-come-from-anyway-revisionist-history-with-gary-fettke-md/
Note last paragraph below ...... Gary was pretty much persecuted - recently ‘cleared’:
In recent years Gary has focussed on the role of diet in the development of diabetes, obesity and cancer. He has been speaking out internationally on the combined role of sugar, fructose, refined carbohydrates and polyunsaturated oils linking together to be behind inflammation and modern disease.
Gary remains committed to understanding the central role of nutrition in everything ranging from our health issues to its role in influencing education, the environmental impact, economics, politics and belief systems.
He has incurred the wrath of regulatory bodies for his stand on public health, but he and his wife, Belinda, remain active defending the benefits of low carb healthy fat living. Their ongoing work has uncovered the vested interests and ideologies shaping nutritional guidelines at an international level.

Breaking news ... AHPRA drop all charges!
We are very excited, and relieved to be able to share the news that AHPRA (the Australian Health Practitioner’s Regulation Agency) have dropped all charges against Gary after 4 1/2 years of us insisting that he had done nothing wrong. No incident of patient harm nor patient complaint having been identified. Not only have they cleared Gary’s name of any wrong-doing, they have even apologised in writing!
