I worked as a firefighter for 25 years and in that time I saw many of my co-workers go on high protein diets to lose weight. Most of them did lose weight for a time on the diets. Many of them got sick... a few got really sick. The one thing that virtually all of them have in common is that all of them gained the weight back and them some.
So I am sorry to have offended you, but poor nutritional advice hurts people... and telling people that as a general rule everyone should avoid carbohydrates is poor nutritional advice. It is generally accepted that from 45% to 65% of a healthy diet should come from carbohydrates.
Poor advice?
I am capable of assessing options, evaluating my own experience and deciding on a course of action. Your choice of words us patronizing. I am not a victim.
