As I stated in Part I of this series, I'm seeing increasing mention of low carbing for health irrespective of weight loss. The subject of this installment is going to be Laura Dolson of About.com. Her recent interview with Jimmy Moore is what actually sparked me to blog on this topic.
I wish to put a disclaimer here, and I'll probably C&P this paragraph into each subsequent Part I may add to this series in which I name names. I have nothing personal against any of these people. I don't know any of them personally, so I can only go by their interviews, writings and podcasts. For the most part these folks seem like quality people, although I do find the snarky and often mocking anti-anyone-who-disagrees-with-their-pet-theories attitudes off-putting at times. In naming names my purpose is not to embarrass anyone or attack them or make them feel badly about themselves. Lord knows the last thing an obese or overweight person needs is someone else to remind them that they are so. But in that vein, if these people are going to be out there evangelizing low carbohydrate eating as inherently healthy, especially if they are making part of all of their living doing so, scrutiny is not only warranted, but should be expected.
