Unfortunately, the message of all those obesity doctors is not dissimilar to being a member of the flat earth society in the 1400's, insisting that Columbus was on a fool's mission, and going to sail right off the edge of the earth. They're convinced they're right, because the currently prevailing knowledge is that they're right. Sure, there's some new evidence being provided that LC/keto makes a huge difference, but no long term studies showing that it's possible to stick to it, or that it isn't even more dangerous than out of control obesity and diabetes in the long term.

In other words, it's the equivalent of someone in the 1400's saying just because some have been able to sail a certain distance to the west and not drop off the edge of the earth doesn't mean you can continue to sail to the west long enough to reach land, In the current climate of obesity and diabetes, the same as saying there's no proof that you can even stick to LC indefinitely, much less do LC indefinitely without it killing you.

At least that's what the vast majority of obesity doctors have had firmly drummed into their heads, especially when all the nutrition and diet authorities and "experts" are telling them repeatedly that all that protein and fat, with so few carbs and so little fiber are a recipe for an early death, and that there are no long term studies proving otherwise.

The long held belief that it's only a matter of calories in/calories out comes not only from doctors and nutritionists who are considered to be experts in obesity and diabetes, but additional resistance to the efficacy of LC/Keto also comes from PETA, climate change experts who blame so many current problems on "cow farts", gov't agencies pushing more grains, and fruit for everyone, and of course the manufacturers and grocery industry falling right in line with those recommendations.


It's a sad situation, and with how much resistance there still is to LC, not likely to change for the better without a long, protracted, uphill battle, waged by one individual at a time, each one of them so sick and tired of being sick and tired that they're willing to try something radically different, instead of yet another version of the same old unsatisfying, unsustainable low cal diet that didn't work the last dozen times they tried it.
