Maybe not a great summary

In the great argument of high-carb vs low-carb, this summary is about one such entry. Having not listened to the entire 18 hour audiobook yet, I decided to give this summary a try. The arguments fall flat here, however, amounting to "This seems right, so I proclaim it to be true." Perhaps the summary just doesn't have the time to go into supporting evidence. But, there is also this really strange framing at work here: the author claims that low-fat, high carb, all veggie diets are somehow seen at not the conventional wisdom. As though if you were to ask anyone on the street what "healthy eating" looks like, they wouldn't say *exactly* what the author prescribes. Yet, he behaves as though what he's selling is radical and new. He seems dead set on trying to frame himself as an underdog, misunderstood and outcast from reasonable discussion. The reality is that he's preaching the same thing Ancel Keys did 70 years ago, in nearly the same way - "because I said so." Maybe it's just that the summary is bad. Maybe the full book offers more compelling discussion.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
