But American women appear to have been most affected by admonitions to
watch what they eat. Before the diet mania, the average American woman
took in 3,000 to 5,000 calories a day; today that average woman eats
less than 1,600 calories daily and is on some type of weight loss
program, according to Frances Berg, M.S., in Women Afraid to Eat --
Breaking Free in Today's Weight-Obsessed World (Healthy Weight
Network, 2000).


It ain't the fat, it's the carbs. See:

Yup, that article says exactly what I've concluded... a lean (low-fat),
high protein diet combined with fiber-heavy carbs (veggies), will make for
healthy weight loss. It's a miracle diet. I'll fix two packages of stir fry
veggies, mixed with shrimp, langostinos, and/or chicken, in a big bowl.
Enough food to feed a sumo wrestler. Never even gain a single pound.
Ketosis must be burning away all the fat with what little carbs I'm
getting, being counteracted somehow by lots of fiber.

I wonder if the high-carb diets are causing the rise in diabetes more than
anything else? That constantly high glycemic count can't be doing very well
for the pancreas, can it?
