Documentary: "Low Carb Diet: Fat or Fiction?"

[SockFiddler]

Just found this Aussie documentary (on a free view site - no sign up or money required), wondering if anyone else has watched it? I'm 5 minutes into it and already Prof Tim Noakes has featured heavily - which is lovely, though I'm a bit worried there's a pseudo-science debunking coming along the way.

Well, actually, I found that, apart from the incredibly patronising fellow in his office, "It's a fad, it's too restrictive, the long-term impact isn't known, we don't NEED carbs but we like them etc etc", everyone was given a fair crack of the whip. There was no hysteria or sensationalising, the science was a little simplified but honest and easy to follow, and a few of the loudest advocates for Low Carb were given a fair chance to make their point.

I was somewhat astonished to hear a dietician advocate LCHF for some of her patients - though naturally that came with a "No one size fits all" warning. But that's cool - isn't that what most of us argue, too? Why we have different targets and levels and all that?

I was actually very pleased with it, all in all, and might well send a link to my GP (incredibly supportive of LCHF) and my DN (an NHS Company Girl).

Thanks for posting Sock. Well balanced piece and I'm a great fan of Dr Peter Bruckner. Sensible straight talking guy who knows his stuff.
