This type of diet also tends to be unrealistic and dull, and not palatable enough to be tolerated for a long time.

Ya, and that low fat diet the traditional "dieticians" recommend is a real taste treat . . . NOT!!!

The low carb diet makes perfect sense and works for millions. I knew it was the thing to try for me when I remembered what my livestock farmer father fed his cattle to "fatten" them for market, and it wasn't PROTEIN or FAT!

Yea, It was corn... Like corn chips, high fructose corn syrup, corn starch, as well as wheat, flour (100% wheat), most bread. Fred.

A co-worker at my office raised pigs....he got all the stale bread, donuts, etc, from stores and bakeries, and dumped pasta and potatoes from restaurants, to feed those pigs to make them FAT.

What he didn't feed them was meat or high protein foods of any sort! LOL
