In my opinion, that old time thinking is what has made our society so overweight. Perhaps Low Carb dieting is not the "perfect" diet, but it works.
You should not just shoot something down because it is new, or goes against your traditional formal education training.
i gotta call you out on this one. have you actually tried following the USDA recommended food guildlines? the "old time thinking" recommends you eat 3-5 servings of vegtables, 2-4 servings of fruit, more whole grains, less sugars and fat ALONG with daily exercise.
there is no way you can tell me that these recommendations have made our society overweight. the problem is most people don't follow it. they eat way too much sugar and fat and too little of the good stuff like quality grain, fruits, and veggies. that's the problem, not that it's old or outdated thinking.
