Nutritionists are having a fit!

[ccmay]

I saw a nutritionist a few weeks ago, a woman with whom I had gone to school years ago. She admitted that the entire field of professional nutrition had been made to look like monkeys, and that some of their recommendations (hi-carb diets) did more harm than good.

She supports limiting high-glycemic index foods such as bread and potatoes, and now realizes that meat and fat are not the bugaboos she had been taught to avoid, but still thinks there is a place for slowly digestible complex carbohydrates. And she still favors a high intake of vegetables and fruit, which I cannot dispute.
