    Yeah, I am just here for the comments too. This is almost as good as a Chris Chase Yahoo News article.

    How do you know the information is accurate if you haven't even seen the documentary and researched their claims?

    It's the internet TV. They can't put anything that isn't true on the internet TV.

    Did you see on the Discovery channel that mermaids exist?
    Don't forget Megladon! He lives!


    All hail Cthulu

    Wait guys, it gets better. Check out the press kit:

    http://carbloaded.com/home/press-kit/

    Nobody associated with the project claims to be an expert, and the creator, a graphic designer who was diagnosed with diabetes ( DESPITE NOT BEING FAT, GUISE!) decided that the diabetes epidemic needed crusading against. Our fearless hero crowd-sourced the money to make this groundbreaking documentary highlighting the fact that lots of people are diabetic and shouldn't eat pad Thai!

    I was on a skype call with the tv on in the background. She alerted me to the programming change, quite grumpily.

    Has anyone seen seen this? They are having free showing on fmtv on Friday-Sunday. My husband and I plan on watching it. We have already seen Food Matters, Hungry for Change, Fed Up, Food Inc. and a whole list of other food and health documentaries. Nice to see accurate information being distributed instead of this "eat less exercise more, makes you healthy" garbage. [/quote]

    Eerm it kind of is this though...

    This is just another attempt to say that carbs are the root of all evil. This notion has been debunked over and over.
    Fed Up With “Fed Up”
    By T. Colin Campbell, PhD

    I know of no evidence that were we to eliminate all sugar from our diets, presumably leaving the rest of the diet the same, we could rid ourselves of disease and restore our health.

    It may come as a surprise but the evidence showing sugar to be a major factor in obesity is relatively weak. There certainly is some evidence but closer examination shows that much of this evidence may be attributed to its contribution to calories

    Obesity should not be considered an independent disease outcome or a stepping-stone to other disease outcomes. Obesity was first granted its own independent disease status, with its own medical code number, about twenty years ago to make it easier for physicians to charge a fee for their obesity-treatment services

    Well its worked for me. 4 years I've been on myfitnesspal, 4 years of watching my carbs. Lost 160 pounds, And I dont have to kill myself in the gym, I can exercise when I want to and moderately. Im healthy and see processed junk food with no nutritional value can be consumed by some along with a healthy diet, its just cant be the healthy part of your healthy diet. Because our 'diet' is whatever we chose to consume. Some people can handle having junk food in moderation. Others of us who have had a bad relationship with food, mentally cannot handle it, or often times physically can not handle it because of the response our bodies give when consuming that crap. Who will deny You are what you eat, you eat junk, your health will be junk. Maybe not today, or tomorrow, but eventually it will catch up with you.

    I am really disappointed that this documentary isn't full of carbs, and even further, not even edible. False advertising! :angry:

    I'm devastated to learn that eating less and exercising more hasn't improved my health.

    Why do you say that?
