For all those who believe that the low fat diet is rooted in firm science, I think the recent article by Gary Taubes in Science Magazine entitled "the Soft Science of Dietary Fate" should be of interest. My personal view is that we "know" very little about diet and that the little we "know" is likely to be proven false over time. Ultimately, you need to find what works for your body. In my case, low carb is the only approach that works and I do eat a lot of vegetables and some fruit because I am not dieting--this is a way of life for me. I have never understood exactly what nutritional value I am passing up when I do not eat pasta, sugar or refined wheat products :-) I'm sure someone out there will be only to happy to advise me, but the point is find what works for you. And, do read Taubes well researched article.
