Message: <blockquote data-quote="Tophat1900" data-source="post: 2298150" data-attributes="member: 362123">I think the problem is the advice which has been dished out for around 50 years to eat low fat and eat plenty of carbs instead has had such a detrimental impact. Instead the focus is on calories and usual advice to eat less and move more failed mantra. Which does nothing to change outcomes for people who are obese or even over weight to a certain degree because there seems to be no understanding or no wanting to understand the role of insulin and an absurd belief that we should be consuming 45% or higher of our daily energy level in the form of carbohydrate which isn't even an essential nutrient. Yet it requires the largest response from the pancreas. So it continues, keep dishing out the same failed advice. So GP's are going to be laying down the law (so to speak) because of a problem created by the the health care system (Dietary)  and a collection of vested interests such as the food industry etc. This is blaming the very people who have done what they have been advised to do. Who then get labeled as nonconforming if Dr's don't see the results they think they should see. Which I think is basically calling these people liars. Even if they have tried so hard.</blockquote>
