So she thinks we should eat all three macronutrients from a variety of nutritious foods in appropriate amounts for the individual? What a concept.
No, she doesn’t. Please watch all three of her lectures first.
“The war on sugar sounds so good on the surface that it has become politically correct to support it. But just scratch that surface and you have a tangled knot of reasoning that goes nowhere, that ignores the contribution of fat, which has never decreased in the modern diet despite claims to the contrary. The entire war on sugar and the advice that stems from it is less effective than the old advice to give up dessert for a while if you want to lose weight. And that’s the real problem; In the modern diet we have so mishandled the information on carbohydrates that we can no longer distinguish dinner from dessert”
More fallout from the paranoid war on sugar : McCarbthyism: The woefully misguided war on carbs
She's pro-sugar and she still recieving ad hominem here from some of you.
But is this really news to anyone?
Yes it is news. Have you ever heard of the following people?
Gary Taubes
Mark Sisson
William Davis (wheat belly)
Barry Sears
Sally Fallon/WAP
Andrew DiMino
Dana Carpender (hold the toast!)
Jimmy Moore
Loren Cordain
Michael and Mary Eades and the many bloggers/youtubers and especially nutritionists and dietitians who promote the same. Did you not read the quote at the top?
"A channel devoted to promoting a scientific understanding of carbohydrates and their essential role in the human diet. We don't practice McCarbthyism, the irrational fear mongering that views our natural desire to eat carbohydrates as the primary reason for the epidemic of obesity and type-2 diabetes presently spreading worldwide. McCarbthyism is our name for the cult of carbohydrate paranoia infecting the nutrition community like a plague, not because of the evidence—for there is none—but because it creates such an easy target and tells such a good story. The real story of carbohydrates, however, is much more interesting when you follow the evidence. Explore our site and follow our blog to learn about starch and how it became a dirty word and how pottery played in the mind's big bang."
Do you not realize how crazy it is to say something like that? The first thing the average person says when they want to lose weight is "I can't have starch." People who know nothing of nutrition commonly echo this sentiment and as Natalie points out, it's all a misunderstanding and propagated by those listed people above.
