Most people who "cut out the carbs" will eat more PUFAs and

guess the old saying is right - you can lead a horse to water...
What you say, esp about the "strict" diet, is definitely true of me.
Look at Dr. Parsons' answer to the related question..."How have the
diet advocates managed to dominate medical opinion?"
His answer as follows:
Until recently, diet advocates had always held positions of authority
in
opinion-making bodies such as American Heart Association and National
Institutes of
Health. Their bias in favor of diet thoroughly brainwashed the media,
which in turn
brainwashed the public, including the medical profession. Furthermore,
the food
industry has a huge vested interest in foods advertised as beneficial
for cholesterol
problems. I know researchers who believe that there has been a
conspiracy between
some dietary advocates and the food industry. I don't think they ever
sat down around
a table and conspired, but over the years they have trumpeted the
party line about diet
so loudly that the media and the public didn't realize there was any
other way.
When most people hear "cholesterol," they automatically think "diet."
My book
points out why this is far from the truth. Diet is such a weak and
ineffective for
cholesterol management that it should be forgotten, except as a weight
control
measure. The only way to reduce excessive weight (which is an epidemic
problem in
the U.S.) is to control calories on an ongoing basis.
I found the entire interview with Dr. Parsons at www.cholesterolscore.com
on the right side under PUBLISHED ARTICLES.
