[QUOTE="Sean_Raymond, post: 2353754, member: 403497"] Unfortunately some colleagues, especially older ones, do see low carbohydrate diets as scary. partly due to them apparently going against prevailing dogma (high fat, low carbs/fibre etc) and the fact little training or guidance is given on them. I cannot say what current students are learning. A low carbohydrate certainly can help - the posters on here are a testament to that. Nothing I have said challenges this so I'll repeat that I do not understand why some are so hostile here. Reading about the success you have had is just fantastic and I am so pleased for you. I have pointed out that the reasons for weight gain/weight loss (i.e insulin/carbs) does not stack up with the evidence and not one person has provided even 1 study to show reduction of insulin causes weight loss independent of calories. The point may seem mute because if the diets work then they work. However, it is important, certainly for people who work clinically such as myself to understand the cause of a pathology and why something works or doesn't. Without establishing this then erroneous ideas can become planted as fact with the wrong things blamed. I am very happy to be shown that Insulin really does do what the Jason Fungs of the world claim as I am only interested in how, why and of course, what works so I can help. [/QUOTE]
