Eat Fat, Get Thin - Second Opinions

Preface by Professor Wolfgang Lutz

I came on Barry Groves while reading an article " When Fat is Thin " in the magazine, Healthy Eating . I was sure it was written by a medical doctor because of the medical knowledge which streamed out of every sentence. I was wrong, Barry Groves didn't study medicine, he is no doctor at all, he is a retired Air Force officer who has a deep interest in dietary matters and the time to research them.

And he did his research very thoroughly. I was surprised by Barry Groves' intricate knowledge of medicine in general and nutrition in particular. I am myself a writer on the subject of low-carbohydrate diets having adhered to this diet myself and observed for over 40 years its beneficial effect on more than 10,000 patients.

The ongoing revolution in our nutritional thinking is irreversible. Medicine will have to admit that we have been misled for several decades into believing that fats are bad and carbohydrates are the good nutrients. Much money and time of our scientists have been wasted in trying to show that this is scientific evidence while the many trials by able researchers who have shown that in reality it is fats that are healthy and carbohydrates the villains have not been acknowledged. It is incredible how the false doctrine of mighty leaders in science could survive so long. For instance, we knew in Vienna before the Second World War that diabetics do much better on a low carbohydrate, higher in fat diet, but this could not prevail against the force of the 'lipid theory' from America which sought all evils in animal fats and cholesterol.

Against this background it was the laymen who stood against all the strongholds of established theories. People like Barry Groves, who believe their own research and experience which showed them that eating fat and reducing carbohydrates is essential for their health, and have the courage to defend it. His advices for dieting could not be performed better by a qualified doctor or dietician. This book will be a main pillar for your future health.
