Just for fun, I've been reading up the LFHC diet, the one completely opposite from my LCHF diet. LFHC is promoted by Ornish, Mcdougall, Esselstyns, etc. This is the kind of diet Bill Clinton is on now. Hey, guess what! These low fat high carb guys also claim their diets will cure you of death and unattractiveness! And just to prove it, they too have millions of personal testimonies on their sites from formerly diabetic fat people with rashes who are now thin, healthy, and rash free. Just like on LCHF sites.
How can this be? One diet advocates fat as 75% of your diet and no carbs, the other no fat and mostly carb. Yet both claim to be the perfect diet for humans! Ahhhhh! Let's look very shallowly into some of their claims and see where they differ.
1) Both claim science is unequivocally on their side.
LCHF: Man descended from the trees carrying tongs and hickory wood chips, ready to grill.
Agriculture wasn't a thing until 10,000 years ago, when man was snookered into high interest mortgages, attending early morning religious functions on his one day off, and monogamy.
Obviously, we were better off as hunter gatherers.
LFHC: Ha! Man shares 99% of his DNA with apes, and apes love whole grain pasta with butternut squash. What, you think you're betta than an ape? Get outta here.
Man lived nasty, brutal millennia eating grubs, bark, and grass seeds while hiding in caves from predators until someone finally figured out walls and industrial farming.
Thank God. Now man could stop skulking around in fear of being eaten and instead learn to fear other men.
