How Could A Health Coach Help You With Your Nutrition & Lifestyle?

I was looking at the numbers using the low carb regime on this forum that would equate to very decent numbers for a research study. I wonder if the pharmaceutical industry are not investigating this because they don't stand to benefit if some people manage to come off treatment all together. This was certainly what happened years ago when women didn't want to take HRT and wanted to explore alternatives - no company would do the trial.

There have been studies conducted that show a low carb high fat diet can lower blood glucose levels to non-diabetic levels and allow for reduction and elimination of diabetes meds. Obviously these studies were not done by the pharmaceutical industry. The studies were done by practising health care professionals who observed that the current standard treatment of type 2 is not working for the vast majority of their patients and thought there might be a more successful treatment regime.
 
Not only big pharma but also look at the world as a whole.. Grain is huge in USA and many countries...what would all the grain growers and cereal wtc companies do? Yes, many could convert to better, but better is actually, fresh food..what would happen to all the crisp manufacturers, bread suppliers.
Countries have plowed billions in to producing carbs and foods...
I personally would love the fresh foods back.. I love watching places like Vitnam etc or China for seeing them having giving ants/bugs as a delicacy to friends...they all value the protein in them.
