Why can’t mainstream medicine admit low-carb works asks Dr. Tro Kalayjian, a board-certified internal medicine and obesity medicine physician?

Dr. Tro Kalayjian just published a heartfelt, almost despairing blog post about spending a week listening to speakers at the recent Obesity Week Conference in Las Vegas, Nov 3-7. The conference brought together more than 4,000 obesity professionals from around the world. This year, the annual conference focused on diabetes.

Kalayjian, who goes by the name “Dr. Tro” on his blog and social media, lamented: “I don’t quite know how to express my feelings and thoughts about this event, but the words ‘anger’ and ‘hopelessness’ immediately come to mind.” That’s because speaker after speaker at the event, while touting “there is no one best diet”, still then defaulted to promoting a low-fat diet, with multiple small meals featuring plenty of “healthy” grains, fruits and vegetables. This, writes Dr. Tro, is “legacy” messaging that ignores the mounting evidence in favor of low-carbohydrate diets for diabetes management and reversal.
