Agreed on your interpretation of his diet. So why blame the steak and potatoes? I wouldn't go so far as to make it a carb related issue as much as a refined/processed food (often grain heavy) issue. He specifically blames one part of his diet (probably a small part of it at that) and gives every other food a pass. Sniffs of dogma to me.
