This chart beautifully describes where LCHF is right now .......
Our innovators are well known to all of us . Yudkin ,Atkins, Bernstein,Fung, Harcombe, Lustig, Noakes, Taube, Techolz to name but a few. Some of those innovators were simply too early and needed rediscovering thirty years on.
The early adopters grew - dietdoctor.com, diabetes.co.uk, a roll call of practitioners and researchers giving enough credence to the ideas to enable the early adopting public ( us) and medics ( dr Unwin) - to have the courage to try and through their own N=1 experiments and successes to help point the way to interesting ideas and avenues of research.
In the early days research done falls into the chasm as it is not sufficient to outweigh the vast body of out- dated thinking, and ideas that people believed had solid foundations even if they didn't . Then the chasm starts to fill up, the evidence accumulates the reports written last year (e.g. Swiss re) suddenly start to make sense when butter shortages develop because the early adopters are slowly and quietly starting to turn into the early majority
Meanwhile the Laggards sit at the back - too afraid to make the switch and probably too educated in what came before to have the mental flexibility to understand that change is good and too afraid for their livelihoods to want the change to happen. .
What we are seeing now is the battle being fought over the laggards trying to hang onto their majority - whilst the innovators continue to pile on the pressure at the front.
When the end game plays out - the reputations of the laggards will be in tatters and in business parlance their businesses will end up in liquidation - whether they are medical practitioners, food , pharmaceutical industries or any others who are going to be affected by what will become a tsunami of change. Unless they learn to adopt . They can fight all they like and it might take a while, but the change IS coming because the evidence is now in place - the early adopters were right - and whilst they were prepared to take a leap of faith - once enough research , n=1, and internet reports fill the chasm full enough - its game over.
