Re: Get a load of this...
Good lord, I hope most seriously overweight folks don't read that article and actually believe it. If they are at all like me, they might as well down serving spoons of sugar because it seems to have nearly the same physical results - constant hunger, blood sugar spikes and crashes, weight gain. Dang, maybe I can just make some cheesy potatoes of some sort and serve it over pasta with some bread on the side and some dark chocolate for dessert - what a great diet plan! (not - almost makes me ill feeling just thinking about it).
So-called experts and their diet recommendations helped me blow up to 351 pounds over my adult life. I have little to no faith in anything they ever report, because whether it is 6 months from now or 2 years from now or however long, they will eventually "discover" something else they missed the first time and change their minds. I decided some time ago that the closer I ate to how I imagine average people ate 100 or so years ago, likely the more healthy I would be and the closer to a normal weight I might become. And although highly oversimplified, it has essentially been true thus far.
I'm embarassed for Prevention, which I used to consider a fairly reasonable magazine in most ways though I haven't read it in years. And I agree with that comment about how there are WAY too many articles out there about the miracles of this or that vitamin curing everything under the sun. A balanced nutritious diet would achieve a lot more, in my mind, over time.
