But he doesn't. After thousands of patients, if this made a difference I
think he would have written so. For one, those over weight should be
getting less carbs proportionally in order to lose weight. For another this
isn't a precise number. His method of counting using bread units makes for
a very crude counting. And he recommends unlimited fats.
