Alec Baldwin and Dr Lustig — You Don’t Want To Miss It

We will be taking a brief hiatus here at lowcarbpediatrician.com.  Look for a new post on July 16.  It was interesting, I had a great conversation with my father-in-law  today.  He, like many, has had a difficult time rejecting the failed food pyramid.   However, over the last few weeks I think his mind has opened.  “You may be riding a wave here Brad.”  Maybe so.  But I do it knowing that science is on my side.  In addition, I had two teenage come into the office for yearly physicals this week.   Both kids were well above the 95% on their BMI the year before.  Both kids decided, on their own, to cut out the carbs.  The weight loss and BMI change was dramatic.   In this situation, I usually grab a nurse or my nurse practitioner, Judith (who is an LCHF guru) and show them what this patient has accomplished — life long well being.  We laugh and give a high five or two.   I then grill the young person on the specifics and the answer is “low carb.”  It’s not a big surprise.  When I talk about low carb with families, they do not act surprsied.   The reaction typically is “we already knew that, what took you so long to admit it?”   I  shrug and go on to explain LCHF.   Here is a podcast between Alec Baldwin and Guru Dr Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist — two people who live in the real world of Real Food.
