[QUOTE="Guided_by_Voices, post: 267155, member: 15235"] First of all, I give him great credit for being open to changing his views over time when presented with new information. Most people refuse to listen to anything that doesn't agree with some pre-conceived point-of-view and they just try to fit everything into a conclusion they've already drawn. Where he is now is very close to the the Perfect Health Diet recommendations which I've suggested here many times as a home-base for people to start with, with the exception that PHD recommends "safe starches" such a potatoes and white rice as the primary source of carbs instead of fruit. That said it is important to remember that this type of eating is for healthy people, which excludes probably at least 80% of people in the US and Canada. (Defining healthy is a longer conversation.) Also, I don't think he has thought through all the implications of what he is saying (such as metabolic inflexibility actually being an inability to access fat stores for fuel, and low-carb diets often being much better for cancer patients) so I think he has jumped the gun a little bit with his confidence level and the implications of what he is saying. He is getting a lot of his current info from the Ray Peat camp (which is close to PHD except for the fruit and the amount of carbs) however I think he needs to run some of what he is saying by some of the nutritional big-brains like Chris Masterjohn, Dom D'Agostino and James D'Nicoloantonio.
