Alright, I've only just started paying attention to Ted Naiman and PE. My initial thoughts after watching a few interviews and lectures on YouTube, and skimming this thread, is it doesn't all quite hang together yet for me. I will do more review and see if it makes sense, but he seems to want to topple a lot of principles in low-carb/keto eating, but doesn't necessarily have the science to back it up. Of course I could be wrong, and I will keep digging.
My biggest concerns is it seems to consider fat and carbs as equivalent, which I dont believe is true for a T2 diabetic. It also seems to be circling back to the "calories in/calories out" model by taking a "mechanical engineering" approach and ignoring all the endocrinology.
I think that within the constraints of an already low-carb diet, it may be defensible that protein should be higher than is typical in a keto diet. I also think that vs the SAD, it's a clear improvement. But as a new theory of everything, I dont think it meets the burden of proof. Some of the interviews and lectures are pretty smug, and talks about keto as if it's a fad that has already passed. I find that a bit off-putting, although he seems pretty welcome in the low-carb community, so it might just be me.
Again, just first impressions.
