Soft drinks, fruit juice, muffins, white rice and white bread are technically low in fat, for example, but the low-fat group was told to avoid those things and eat foods like brown rice, barley, steel-cut oats, lentils, lean meats, low-fat dairy products, quinoa, fresh fruit and legumes. The low-carb group was trained to choose nutritious foods like olive oil, salmon, avocados, hard cheeses, vegetables, nut butters, nuts and seeds, and grass-fed and pasture-raised animal foods.


Look at the low fat intervention. For a lot of people, their grocery bill will have gone down. Low carb? Salmon, grass-fed and pasture-raised animal foods? They've been told to eat low carb, and then told to eat the most expensive versions of low carb food they can get their hands on. Have you seen the price of nut butters lately? I guess there's always peanut butter, that's always been especially problematic for me.
