What happened to the continuation of the mushroom discussion on page 51 of your book, 150 Healthiest Foods...? Would like to know the rest of the story.

JB,

Another thing is simply the defenition of the term low-carb.

If people would just eat proper naturally occuring carbs and stay away for refined, processed carbs (and foods in general), then we'd basically be eating that hunter-gatherer diet and getting the type of results related in that study...and then some.

Typical nutritionists and medical physicians don't like low carb, but it's just semantics.

Proper, whole carbs, the way nature intended them, are what we should eat. Fiber, phytonutrients and all.

Eat Like a Cave Man....

thank you.

LIke most diet studies, it's open to a lot of interpretation and criticism, much of which is politically motivated, but i think at the very least it's adding to the growing perception in the mainstream that low-carb diets have a place at the table. Baby steps..

I commend you for such a positive perspective. I was so disappointed when I read that the low carb diet was an "Atkins-like" plan, and that participants were encouraged to eat vegetarian sources of protein and fat. Those options, coupled with the 120 grams of carbs, makes me wonder how it differed so much with the Mediterranean plan. Imagine if they'd actually tested a real Atkins plan (with much more variation than Dr. Ornish's classification of eggs, bacon, and brie)! Ahhh, one day maybe...

Thanks Jonny for explaining this so simply. I'd read other reports, but now I understand more. Look forward to meeting you on the cruise in January 09.

This looks a lot like proof of the metabolic typing diet (we each need our own optimum macro nutrient ratio). Check it out Jonny if you have not heard of it. Andrew N.
