Talk about letting the facade drop. Or maybe we’re being trolled. Here’s today’s Pop Science article:

A Nutritionist’s Guide to Eating Junk Food
Eating healthy isn’t about eliminating sugar — it’s about having a plan
I would love to “follow the money” on PopSci.
As for me, I have a plan. Don’t read Pop Science articles. Don’t reward their trollish “articles.”

They’re good if your neck is stiff and you need a vigorous session of shaking your head in disbelief.

It’s not that doctors “don’t care” or are “intentionally leading their patients further down the diabetic road”. Nor are most doctors practicing “willful ignorance” by not advising a ketogenic diet. THE problem is that if a doctor doesn’t follow the standard of care and there is an unwanted outcome then the doctor is at risk to lose her license. UNFORTUNATELY the current standard of care is to follow the dietary guidelines. The dietary guidelines need to be updated to reflect the science so that more doctors feel comfortable recommending low carb/ketogenic diet. Nutritionists and dietitians however are NOT doctors and many of them are just COMPLETELY misinformed. Sorry you had this experience with a poorly informed nutritionist at your diabetes class.
Keep Calm and Keto On!

Actually, I think that the guidelines - as a concept - need to be thrown out. Any “guidelines” that don’t simply say “figure out the root cause for every patient and create a unique plan” are assuming that everyone is the same (that is the real problem). Pushing Keto on a vegetarian from India is not going to work - so Keto cannot be the guideline. “Eat less more more” doesn’t work. Some people are never going to give up pizza and booze.
Instead, I think only education will work - and in that case - doctors should not be limited in educating patients by any “guidelines”. Doctors cannot tell you what to eat (outside of the current guidelines) but they should be able to tell you the effects of anything you’d like to know about. Instead - if out of the guidelines (like “eat lots of fat”) well, that equals “bad”. The doctor can’t explain lowering insulin getting you into fat burning instead of storage because that means a high fat diet.
If we could get consistency between what the high level people in the Keto community are saying and what doctors are allowed to say (even if just when asked) - that would be a real win.
