Summary

Meet Denise Minger. kempner_weight_loss_3 Wait, no. That's not Denise. This is Denise. denise_september The woman above Denise is a woman from a dietary study who lost 123 pounds in just shy of a year. She's not to be confused with the woman above her, who obliterated 278 pounds in a bit over a year. All on a 90-95% carbohydrate based, high-sugar, high-starch, low-fat diet.

And that's just a peek into the contents of today's podcast. But back to Denise. Denise blogs at RawFoodSOS.com, where she just released the controversial article "IN DEFENSE OF LOW FAT: A CALL FOR SOME EVOLUTION OF THOUGHT."

That particular article is exactly what we're going to be digging into this podcast... ...but Denise is no stranger to BenGreenfieldFitness.com. Last year, I published the article "How To Figure Out What Diet Is Right For You", which contains many anecdotes from Denise's book "Death By Food Pyramid". As a self-described health blogger, Denise typically spends about five hours a day reading and writing about nutrition. In both her writings and lectures she has a reputation for aggressively challenging today's leading voices of conventional wisdom, and is perhaps most famous for her thorough refutation of "The China Study" book. Denise is considered to be a major thorn in the side of both mainstream nutritionists and other health figures who adhere to standard dietary dogma.

During my discussion with Denise, you'll discover: -Why Denise doesn't drink coffee and eats lots of sushi and sashimi...

-How in the process of redeeming fat, we traded one form of oversimplified blame for another...

-What carbosis is, and why you need to be very careful mixing carbohydrates with fats...

-Why our current definition of low fat is very flawed, and the more appropriate definition of what low fat actually is...

-The low fat history you've probably never heard...

-The shocking evidence that sugar and white rice can actually cure diabetes and melt fat off the body...

-How decreasing "healthy" saturated fat and increasing intake of vegetable oils has been shown in baffling research to actually benefit conditions such as multiple sclerosis...

-Why it's a myth that a low-fat, high-carb vegetable diet is what eventually killed researcher Nathan Pritikin....

-Why Denise has changed her mind about some issues she had with the documentary "Forks Over Knives", and why she apologizes to vegans and vegetarians...

-And much more! Do you have questions, comments or feedback about high carb vs. high fat, and Denise's new take on a high carb, low fat diet? Your own thoughts to share? Leave it all BenGreenfieldFitness.com and either Denise or I will reply!
