It's in Elle magazine [Jan 2015 issue], it must be true ;-)
If the Low-Fat Diet Is a Lie, What the H*ll Should We Eat?
For decades the low-fat, high-carb diet was gospel. Now science is singing a very different tune. So what's a woman to believe?

Great quote:
Quote:
This science first began to prick the public consciousness in 2002, when the crusading science journalist Gary Taubes published a New York Times Magazine article titled "What If It's All Been a Big Fat Lie?" Overnight, it seemed foie-gras-stuffed burgers—hold the bun—were the It Food, and, as Michael Pollan wrote in his 2006 blockbuster, The Omnivore's Dilemma, the article caused "two of the most wholesome and uncontroversial foods known to man—bread and pasta—[to acquire] a moral stain that promptly bankrupted dozens of bakeries and noodle firms and ruined an untold number of perfectly good meals." The suddenness and extremity of the shift, Pollan concluded, was a sign of a "national eating disorder."
Thirteen years later, we still haven't moved on. And who could blame us? Hearing that a low-carb diet is best is the nutritional equivalent of being told that the earth is round, not flat as we had thought. And the studies supporting the benefits of fat keep coming, as if someone up there knows we're still not convinced.
