So well put Kim! Glad Rick realizes it’s not just Barnaby and I that are aware of this. Me too on being able to eat a diet rich in fats (in fact, I’m soooo much healthier now that I know what to do in that department!) than a diet rich in carbohydrates.

For me it seems I can do higher fat as long as I do low sugar. In a great interview with Jorge Cruise, Gary Taubes explains it well: http://jorgecruise.com/freeemailclub/2010/8/29/three-compelling-reasons-to-stick-to-the-belly-fat-cure.html <http://jorgecruise.com/freeemailclub/2010/8/29/three-compelling-reasons-to-stick-to-the-belly-fat-cure.html> I lost weight well on the Jorge Cruise plan which essentially no more than 15 grams of sugar and 60-120 grams of carbohydrate per day. The problem with that is eventually all diets that eliminate or severly restrict any food group will fail for me. I got to where I was CRAVING things like a bowl full of brown rice and a sandwich made on really dense whole grain bread. I like Fast-5 because I don't have to deny any food group. I also agree that everyone has their own unique capacity to process the different nutrients. It is like parenting - your job is to figure out who you got and deal with that person. Same thing with our metabolisms but we're so used to listening to "experts" that we don't know our own bodies. It took me decades to figure out how sensitive I am to carbs and especially to dairy because I was like a ping pong ball going with the prevailing wisdom of the day over and over. I can eat a diet rich in fats with much better results than a diet rich in carbohydrates.
That Doctor is falling in line with much of society when he spreads more "Fat Fear". It appears he's not studied such low carbohydrate advocates like Barry Groves or Gary Taubes who advocate very low sugar in the diet to keep insulin levels low, along with moderate protein,yet don't have such fear of fat in the diet.
