No offense, but that's nonsense. People are obese because they consume more calories than they burn. It doesn't really matter what form those calories take. However, there is a link between high-carb diets and insulin resistence (pre-diabetes). You can probably live to be 100 eating from McD as long as you avoid the fries, cokes, and buns.
Everybody here believes that low-fat and high-fiber is good for you, right? Well, there's no evidence of any benefits as far as cancer goes:

No offense, but cherry picking one of the handful of articles that agrees with your personal diet philosophy and then claiming the others are nonsense is...nonsense!
There are hundreds of studies that show that low fat/high complex carb diets like the Ornish diet not only help you lose weight but are heart healthy. There are also dozens that show a high protein low carb diet as being a very bad idea over the long term. I'm unaware of any unaffilliated physician that recommends the latter diet for more than a short term.
Wasnt that you a few months ago that expressed a little jealousy over the high HDL's my wife and I got back on our cholesterol tests?
Wow...regular meals...thats a tough one...lemme see...
- Baby back ribs rubbed and braised, then grilled
- Wild king salmon marinated in homemade teriyaki sauce and planked on the grill
- Sausages, peppers and onions on a big toasted grinder roll
- Smoked oyster po'boys with mustard greens and lemon/olive oil/hot sauce vinaigrette
- "Polish Stew" made with beef, poish sausage, sauerkraut, tomato and white wine
- Morroccan tagines made with either beef and dried fruit or chicken and green olives
- Linguini with white clam sauce and extra clams
- Italian peppered beef stew
- Jerk seasoned turkey meatloaf
- Thai turkey meatball stew
We have at least one or two of these a week, with mostly low fat vegetarian meals in between. Actually I make most of these fairly low fat/high complex carb excepting the sausages/peppers/onions and the polish stew. Tough to low-fat a sausage, although I do know that sausage is accepted as a vegetable in some areas of the world.
Geez Louise OAP, can you slow that thing down a little? I never get to read your posts...that soccer ball flying around is too eye catching...
