What?...a new diet?! :(

ARGH! I am so tired of hearing the topic of the "American Diet" discussed on all of the "news" shows. It's all over the tele of late. Now Carbs/low fat are "bad" and some fats are "good"...while you can eat this, but not that...when will it all STOP?!

How can the medical community endorse all of this wishy-washyness?

Labeling food is NOT cool. Everything can fit into a HEALTHY diet.

The ED lies to us...and now this is all over the tele. Even the "respectable" network nightly news. Geez.

Keep fighting! :kick

i honestly have not been watching the news so i'm probably not qualified to answer this, but the things you mentioned (Carbs/low-fat being unhealthier foods) triggered something my ex nutritionist has told me. she said that going all low/no fat was unhealthy because some healthy fat is recommended. also she encouraged whole grains instead of the white sugar carbs. (although she didn't forbid any foods), because of the way the different type carbs are processed in our bodies.

i must be missing something, because it sounds like what you're describing is what my nutritionist has been telling me all along.
